Started Local P&D Job After 8 years OTR. Goodbye K&B, Hello MME!

Same here, they offer all employees FREE High Deductable Health Plan with associated Health Savings Account. So far so good

 

I’m glad you’re liking it over here. This was my first week and I’m really happy and I hope it stays this way

 

I live in the Midwest so P&D here isn’t as hard as it is in Los Angeles and other major cities. And the other thing I like about MME is that we don’t load and unload our trucka at the terminal, they have dock workers to do it for us.

 

Quick update:

It’s been a month and half now and I think it’s time to for a quick update and little comparison with my current and last company. Comparing my previous OTR job at K&B Transportation and my current Local P&D job here at Midwest Motor Express.

- They both have a really good pay package.
- They both have amazing and easy to deal office personnel.
- Both companies have new and well maintained equipments.
- Both companies have good benefits with MME offering better health insurance coverage.
- K&B paid me $200+ more per week than what I’m making here at MME (I’m still making more per day here at MME than at K&B).
- MME provides uniforms to all employees every 90 days (because they’re local).
- K&B has better safety and referral bonuses than MME.
- MME pays all national holidays compared to K&B’s Christmas only pay (I could be wrong with K&B but the only holiday pay I received while I was there was Christmas Day).
- They both have good terminals/yards.

All in all, I think K&B has some things that I really miss and MME has more things that I have been looking for. I’m really loving this 9-5 a weekends off gig. I don’t think I’ll ever go back to OTR driving again.
