    Look up "Dooner Livingstone" on youtube. It's a few years old but great videos when he worked there.

    He's on FB if you do that. Last I saw he was driving a mixer to stay local. That aside, his stuff is/was pre ELD so I don't how well it would apply to "todays" Kaiser.

    I met some Kaiser guys but it's been at least 3 years ago so I'll withhold comment about what they said.
    One thing I gathered is it's a tight run company and you better like tarping a LOT.

    _Sundown_ Thanks this.

    I appreciate the info...I will check him out... as far as tarping, I worked at Melton truck lines for a year....I swear we tarp at least 98% of our loads...hell, I've been places where I have tarped loads while other flatbed companies received the same load but didn't have to tarp...o_O
     
    Klleetrucking Thanks this.

    This is 6 years ago, dude is an animal.

    There's a thread on TTR pretty much along the lines of what you're asking.

    I have the most respect for Dooner for getting this done. Tarping - fun? never.
