    Just an observation I saw today and not passing judgement on k@b.
    K@b has an ad on Craigslist in Omaha looking for drivers for its truck recovery division .
    Says it pays 1300 a week ....what's up with this ?

    That's not new KB has always hired recovery drivers.I think all or most companies have them.KB flies you out to pick up trk.But it doesn't paint a very pretty picture of KB does it.

    When the recovery drivers doesn't have any trks to pick up KB will assign them regular loads.When I drove for them locally we had like 5 recovery drivers help us and they stayed at the motel.

    I drove an old hand to pick up an abandoned truck near where my load was delivering back in 2000. It was an fld. When we got there half the hood was missing.
