    Yall must be late to the party, KAG has got their hands in every ##### thing. From fuel, oil, chem, and the newest cryo. It's a monopoly if you ask me, they just have different names for the companies. Had a KAG fuel driver tell me, "You know what they say, you can run but you can't hide from KAG." "They will run loads for free just to get a contract." I said "Yup and your mighty proud to work for that POS, huh?" Freaking sad

    I don't know if KAG will haul loads for free but I know for sure that they'll haul them at a loss.
    They've been sniffing around a couple of our customers and they're offering ridiculously low rates just to get the haul.
    They're also very interested in getting into dry bulk pneumatics.
    So far we haven't lost any business to them but they're like an octopus...grabbing from every direction.

    I really don't know. I'll ask some of our drivers. They might know some KAG drivers. I don't.

    I'll more than likely be running Co2 for them soon. I'll post how it goes.

    That isn't believable because Keenan doesn't believe in high pay for drivers.

    .55 cent a mile for all miles and 25.40 is low for cryo hauling. But I have no tanker experience. When I start in a few weeks I'll post what I make.I know you know way more about this than me so its probably not the greatest gig, but I want an in to cryo hualing and I dont want to start on nights or team on bid routes. My situation is a little different as I have one son left in hs and he doesn't want to move to California. I do so getting 1 to 2 yrs cryo if I can stomach kenan otr merchant gas, I'll do it, probably more like 80k but if that's what I get, as long as I get the experience and make more than the 60 to 65k I'm making now I will consider it a win. I'm in Oklahoma so pay is lower here but so is cost of living. I've been driving a 2005 sterling with 500,000 miles on it all over the country.
