I FINALLY LEFT K&B TRANSPORTATION

I usually don't bother with bad reviews but Iwant to mention this publicly so others don't get roped into this terrible situation. I was emailed/contacted for a couple of years it seems and the idea of having to leave a car at the airport for so much of the year just didn't seem to make any sense. Sadly, I decided to try it out anyway due to the claims of great pay. I'll acknowledge that first- it's not great. I've made more with other companies with less effort. The pay minimum is pretty much what you'll get most weeks. Without even paying for any benefits, I usually netted ~$1100 to $1400 per week. If you think that's amazing pay, you're entry level. You are treated like absolute trash from the moment you begin orientation class. Or maybe earlier if you include the ride in the van from the airport in Omaha. Their ex-cop safety weasel brags to the class "I'm gonna jam your phone" and you are forced to install an app that disables 6our personal phone while in motion. That would be fine, but they don't pay my phone bill. I was given a dirty and smelly old truck but does it matter when all the trucks are optioned like rickshaws? Moreover, the restrictions on the trucks are the worst I've ever seen- they won't exceed the speed limit even when it is wrong about the speed limit. It geo-fences you (which a voice announces loudly every minute or so) in what it perceives as a city area and limits you to 55- so you are clogging up city traffic. This angers alot of drivers, of course, often causing them to be aggressive toward you. The cruise control will not work if the headlights are one, the wipers automatically turn on all exterior lights even temporarily if you simply swife them once during the day in a light mist. You have the usual lane departure buzzing all day long, a robot voice telling you constantly "please slow down" even when you are below the posted speed and they will call you if they think they saw you make a mistake. I've even had the truck limit itself to 2mph when there is a nearby low bridge regardless of whether your are heading toward it or not. I'm sure I'm forgetting some details of how awful the trucks are. Then there's the sights and smells of their customers which are often slaughterhouses. The smell of death is something you simply gag your way through and you'll see guts, leaking fluids, etc. They also deliver to alot of grocery DCs and if you know about that nonsense you know it's not worth it. The attitudes of everyone who works there are awful- I always felt like I was talking to an angry ex girlfriend. They called my daughter when I didn't answer my phone WHEN I WAS ON HOMETIME because she was my emergency contact and it scared the heck out of her. If they feel you're not moving soon enough after break they will call and rudely tell you to get going (i was never once late, BTW) or maybe sound an alarm clock remotely via the tablet which will startle you in traffic. They don't tell you up front that the 8 weeks you are out will not include a single 34 hour break, you will run on regained hours and sleepervsplit almost every day YOU ARE EXPECTED TO WORK 60 DAYS STRAIGHT WITHOUT A SINGLE DAY OF REST. You are mostly run at night and in the Midwest, so two months of your life will be spent in awful neighborhoods at night in Chicago, Detroit, Indianapolis, St. Louis, Philadelphia, etc. Regardless of your resume you are treated like a dog who doesn't know what he's doing. Hand to god, I am not embellishing any of this, in fact I'm probably forgetting alot. I am so relieved to be done with that place and wouldn't wish it on any other driver. Beware.
