K&B Transportation, S. Sioux City NE

You get a little more per week if you park your truck near one of the busier locations like New London WI, Rochelle IL, Zeeland Mi; probably some others.
If you live near one these locations (I don't know all of them) you not only get paid a bit more but you get good home time also.

This account was a better deal a couple years ago - I used to average less than 2000 miles/ week; it was easy. Now, we have to drive more. Still, not a bad deal.

 

The main recruiting guy has been waging a full on war against critics on Glass Door.

 

Well if you haven't noticed Lonesome didn't offer up his company's name I'd say he doesn't want any competition for a job there. And as for competing for a job it sounds to me like you have to be a serious butt kisser. It ain't me. I'd rather settle for the Lesser. And there's nothing wrong with my driving record. Not a blemish.

 

No need to advertise....

 

That’s what I had to do. I sat across the desk from the man that owns the company (small 25 truck outfit) and answer questions and listen to him explain the work (I never pulled a pneumatic before).

Then I had to take about a 15 mile road test pulling a loaded trailer in the rain (gasp! Lol).

I was the first driver he had hired in over a year and he was only hiring because 2 of his drivers decided to slip seat a truck for whatever reason and he needed a driver for the empty truck.

I got my foot in the door by pure luck. I had met one his drivers a week earlier and that guy recommended me because he was impressed with me after our conversation.

Right place at the right time you might say.

 

My last road test lasted three days . I wanted to stab my road tester at the end but instead I bought him a beer cuz he passed me off

 

,,,,and you resisted the urge to bite him....

 

The thought always crosses my mind.

 

Sounds to me like k@b is figuring out they won't have drivers if they don't pay well and treat em like poo poo ....nice to see change !
