Worked for k&b for aprox. 3 months.in that time the truck broke down three times in one week. Was sent to a customer in alabama with expired base plates. Was told to wait at a truckstop for the new plate to be fedexed to me. Upon recieving the new baseplate, headed to the customer. Was caught in the traffic backup from a fatality accident. Called dispatch and informed them of the problem, both myself and the dispatcher tried to find an alternate route but were unsuccessful. Then recieved a pfone call from the owner of the company berating me for "not having the load delivered on time". After this event i submitted my two week notice. As i worked through my notice, i was constantly berated by dispatch. Upon the final trip on the truck, i was berated by a manager picking up a load in enporia, ks. To des moine, ia. A trip which is almost directly up i-35.

For some reason which i can't explain, the reefer unit shut down on the trailer. With $86,000.00 worth of beef inside. Needless to say, it didn't take long for my pay to re-appear. And, amazingly, the reefer unit decided to re-start.
When i arrived at the terminal, i was taken off the truck so fast that i couldn't get all of my belongings out of the truck. I lost a cd bag full of cd's, my linen, and various other belongings. I was shuttled to the bus station and dumped out (finding out that the bus for that day had already left. I ended up having to get a motel room for the night, with my own money. Staying for three days (the weather had moved in) and all of this was out of my pocket. Plus, a weird little message put on my dac report about calling them for referances (if they are so up front about what they are saying, why don't they put it on the report?) they have also blocked me from getting my unemployment. Along with hampering me from getting a jo
