So coming from a family where both my parents are drivers my dad for 31 years and my mother for a little over ten years now I've seen my fair share of trucking companies both large and small. My dad has bounced between numerous companies in my short 27 years of life. I currently work for a modular home plant moving houses from the plant to their final destinations and set them on their foundations. My crew foreman (who is also our house puller) worked for keim some time ago he said it was a great company to drive for he just couldn't handle the flatbed situation with his reconstructed shoulder. I am scheduled to complete my driving time for my driving school the 26th through the 31st of Jan and then complete my driving test for my cdl. I have already begun my application process with Keim and actually visited their terminal today. The people I have dealt with have answered my questions completely none of their responses have sounded rehearsed and some of the answers were actually different from what I hoped they would have said they have been brutally honest with me thus far. I am may not be an experienced driver but I do have experience dealing with this industry. I do live within a hundred miles of Sabetha Kansas their main terminal. Therefore I do not forsee me personally having many issues with home time. I am also from Tennessee fairly close to Jasper where they have a Satellite terminal. I do believe that bashing a company is quite uncalled. I however do not let another person's opinion of something affect my own opinion.
Gregory H. I do wish you the best of luck and maybe I can get a heads up on what to expect from orientation. Hopefully by the end of February I'll join you on the Keim Team.
