    I still laugh... Years ago when i was with PBX, they asked me to help on the Denison-Norfolk swinging beef shuttle because K&B was falling behind. Those poor jokers weren't allowed to run NE51 (loaded or empty) because one of them had screwed the pooch dropping into Decatur and took a dirt nap. They had to run all the way down to Fremont and then come N&W! That was shortly before I ran into Ken at Wick's, and meeting him sure helped explain that foolishness.

    Man, the beaches in Chicago town must really be worth it compared to LA. I’m sorry I just had to say it.

    Well Tyson is our number one customer and the reason K&B even got into business the first place. If you mess around and run late on a Tyson load here you won't like what happens.

    For you being a relatively new driver at K and B you seem to know an awful lot of information that a newbie wouldn’t know… But then again with you being the Director of recruiting, I can understand you knowing a lot more information than what a new driver would know

    You ever hear of Google? You didn’t answer my question on which company you drove for which tells me that you don’t have any driving experience whatsoever. Saying your a driver to recruit people just to better your image as a head recruiter for K&B isn’t going to win you any favors over here Mr. Sean. Why lie instead of coming out and telling the truth?

    I’m going to also add saying that you guys do not hire out of California as I indicated earlier. I personally went to your website and searched under states and California was not an option. Did you think none of us would do the background check on your information?

    Except it wasn't Tyson... it was IBP.

    Anyone who's ever run meat understands what all the load swaps are about. Partly poor planning by dispatch for not having a fresh driver for the load, partly on the plant for not having the load ready until deadline ship (or later,) and I wouldn't be a bit surprised if K&B was booking team loads for the extra revenue and shuttling them with singles.

    I like how after these revelations he disappeared. Once we have serious questions, he goes silent. Makes you wonder…
