Kreilkamp Trucking

Getting my own authority isnt out of the question, but that's down the road quite a bit. With the current rates, I dont see how people survive running solely off spot market. So until I have my own customers or the rates go up quite a bit, I'll be with Kreilkamp.

 

I normally gross over $2 a mile per week. Some weeks might be closer to $3 some under 2. Also I try to stay around 6k at least each week. My best week was a 10k week but that was only because the right loads fell into place. Had a nice $4500 load out to Oregon, did a couple short one day loads and got back to Wisconsin and it all landed on one check.

Kreilkamp tries to accommodate each drivers wants/needs. If a driver wants to stay out west, they try to manage that. Personally I stay where the customer base is as much as possible (being Wisconsin). From there, alot of northeast, east coast and some midwest.

I dont pick my own loads per say, no. But, if I wanted to go anywhere from anywhere, I could. He knows I dont care where I go, I just want to make money. So that's how we work. But no, for me personally I like having someone booking my loads for me. Takes alot of the headache and hassle of dealing with brokers off of me.

I have looked at landstar, schneider, and mercer, but currently in the beginning I am not interested in booking my own loads. I am happy where I am, and am comfortable with the people I work with. If I were to move to say landstar, sure maybe I could gross a little more, but the headache involved would not be worth the extra revenue.

 

Yes, still here. You coming on as a company driver or op? They dont run "all" NE, but that's where their freight goes majority of the time. I think there are drivers that dont want to run NE, but they take the hit on pay if they choose that. Not entirely sure though. I run where the money takes me, so yes I go ne almost weekly.

Since I have been here, I cant complain about anything really. I also dont look for things to complain about. Everyone there has always been nice and helpful whenever needed.

 

They use peoplenet, not Qualcomm. And no, I dont think navigation is provided. Wasnt in my truck anyway.
