    I don't recall saying it was a joke. Did I miss something?

    There is no ugly truth about trucking. Its up to each individual to pick a company that fits their needs.

    Yes I think he's a clown. His actions after the video proved it.

    I would agree K&B is not a reputable company from what I read. I can't say that from experience just based on info I've read here.

    I have seen some complaints but they are much more from several years ago. In the mean time K&B has instituted it's "minimum pay check" policy and raised it twice. Not much recent complaints - evidence they have improved. I gotta see more than a few complaints about a big company to take them too seriously.

    I got a good offer based on geography. They have 50 trucks dedicated to a customer based in Rochelle, Il. Since I live near there, I'll get $1145.00/week and $1100.00 sign on. And it's the kind of work and truck I'm used to. I think I'll do fine there.

    Guess I'm wussing out on Keen. It involves a lot of east coast and it is harder work for less pay (at least the first year). It's a good opportunity to learn about heavy flat-bed stuff but I don't feel up to the extra stress at the moment. Maybe in a year, I could so the same thing with them or ATS.
