K&b Transportation
Rip offs, dishonest, cheaters

I worked for k&b. As of right now i am turning in my truck. They have done nothing but lied, cheat and steal. They ran me over my hours and they are hell bent on me getting a cell phone and when i do they will not help on the bill. My paychecks have come up short and deductions have been taken out when i call up and ask about them they tell me to talk to accounting. Which i do and they say to call back on monday.

I ran a load from ottawa illinois to cleveland ohio, i had already been up for 20 hours i told my dispatcher i couldn't do it they refused to get the load relayed or rescheduled so i ran it,

Well i started feeling tired and i was nodding off at the wheel. I pulled into a service plaza on the ohio turnpike i layed down and went to sleep i was awoken by a pounding on my sleeper. I looked out my window and there stood 3 ohio state troopers who took me into custody because someone in dispatch reported reported the load being stolen.

I explained what had happened and showed them the qualcomm and my log book they seen i was telling the truth and they let me go and they informed me to tell dispatch that it is not their job to wake up a driver who is sleeping bcause he felt unsafe to drive.

I was recently in denver colorado i have a tri pac apu on the new truck they assigned me, i was in denver it got down to 15 degrees the heat didnt work i told night dispatch anmd they said to get ahold of julie in the morning, well they wouldnt get me a hotel room that night, julie got me into thermo king in denver they said they needed to put a high altitude kit on it since mine was only good for 0 to 5000 feet. But they couldnt do it til the next day.

It was dark when i left thermo king, i told night dispatch and they informed me that i had to be in holcomb kansas by morning i asked thenm for a hotel room to keep warm they said no and huing up on me. So i had to try to sleep in a cold truck for a second night. They have these tri pacs rigged so u can not idle the truck for any longer than 20 minutes. I only got 4 hours of sleep in 48 hours.

I went to the truck stop in garden city, kansas and went to sleep. They sent another driver over to my truck and woke me up. I am stuck at home and cant get out of my driveway because we have a 1/2 inch of ice on the ground i live out in the country on a gravel road 2 miles from any paved road. I inform them i cant get out and ross said they'd send a person out to pull me out.

I am bobtailing (no trailer) and i do not feel safe driving on ice because you cant get traction. I tell them that and they threaten to take 100 dollars out of my pay because i wont leave and i cant leave because i cant get out of my driveway. I find it funny that they will try to tell you to drive when its unsafe and very icy or that they will send someone to pull you out but they wont get the heater on the tri pac fixxed and i gotta try to sleep in cold weather.

I am suppose to be getting paid. 34cpm but oly getting. 30 i told them about it several times and they said they'd get it fixxed but haven't. I live in south central iowa where it is nothing but 2 lane highways. Since when does dispatch or ross try to dictate someones safety when they dont feel safe to drive.

For anyone considering on working for this company do not work for them, they will make it sound great then once you get in they treat you like dirt and have you run illegal and they dont want to reimburse for tolls, scales, lumpers. They also short you on miles.
