Unfortunately I didn't stay long. I enjoyed working there for a couple months but the pay was very low for the work you put in. Tarp loads didn't seen to reflect on your pay, and on more than one occasion I had driven high mile lows for extremely low pay. Pay was inconsistent, I had bad weeks more than good. I've had loads pay as little as 26 cents a mile after doing the math. At the end of the day what good is a great company with crap pay.
Pros
Equipment is better than most companies.
No force dispatch
Great people
Cons
Very low pay. Inconsistent
Hard to reach anyone after hours and on weekends. Sat on weekends at times
Incab camera
No pay for deadheading.

I’ve been here for a few years and I can say that I’m on my out the door. When I first started I loved working here. Great trucks good pay and decent home time. I came here to work my way up into heavy haul and I achieved that and it’s been downhill for the last 8 months. I’ve been forced on multiple occasions to reschedule dr appts cause either I’m 1200 miles from home or cause they need me to do a load. The most interaction I have with my son is through the phone and that’s not enough for a 2 yr old child. This company has gone corporate and now doesn’t care about their drivers. Trucks are junk now and driver facing cams are the thing here now.
Pros
There isn’t any anymore
Cons
Pay went corporate and trucks are absolutely junk now

Been here 2 years. It’s gone to complete crap. They went from having nice looking trucks with 13spd to cookie cutter trucks with automatics. Low pay, low pay, low pay. After taxes and insurance it’s around $750 take home. I’m out 3-6 weeks at a time and still can’t make any money here. Driver facing cameras. Lots of cheap tarped freight!! Did I mention the low pay?
Pros
I get to have my puppy with me! Apu Equipped truck.
Cons
Low pay! They have HUGE tarps!! Driver facing cameras. Lots and lots of cheap paying tarped loads.

Kivi bros used to be one of the best companies when they had 50 trucks or less always made money.. then they grew and it was always find a truck stop after unloaded.. they did the lease program I did well but they would never show a rate con even now they won't they always double broker they loads or they book a load and then broker it out thru there brokerage so they take more..
Pros
Nice equipment and trailers
Cons
Dispatch sucks
They lie constantly

Overall Kivi is a good company. There's a lot more pros than cons. I would like to advance, learn Heavy Haul. The pay and sitting on the weekends has become a huge problem in making my bills.
Pros
Treated with respect and dignity. Every body is equal.
Cons
Pay and sitting on the weekends
