K&B vs. Van Wyk Inc

I generally consider percentage a plus where/when you can find it. And I have heard more then a few bad stories about K&B and can't recall any positive comments other then from recruiters. I don't know anything about Van Wyk other then they run nice equipment and I see them along a lot of the same lanes we run.

Does he have 2+ years experience the last 4 years?

 

I would stay away from K&B. They are nasty, and that guarantee only applies when you are available for dispatch, 7 days. If you have a home time and you work 6 days of that week and your miles are low because you are going home, then you will not get it. The same when you come out of the house. You will not have a 7 days pay period, so in effect, they can really short you on your miles. Also I remember back when I was there, dispatch liked to not show drivers respect, and my one truck, was dirty inside, and they actually told me, use some elbow grease, it will get clean.

 

I'd agree with the previous posters based upon my limited knowledge of both companies.

 

Drove for Van Wyk for close to 3 years, probably still be there if I didnt by my truck. We have a thread on here that we started 4 years ago. Very informative, he'll do fine out of KS as Dave is one of the better dispatchers in the fleet. Only negative about VW is they're battling emission problems with these newer trucks.But feel free to look into that thread and ask questions as myself and others could help you out.

Edit... sorry seen you skimmed thru the thread but what specifics do you want to know? Not much has changed in a year since I've been gone
