Not your average "big" company but I am super happy with them. I am a OWNER OP at this company.. for almost 4 years now -
They are called Kiswani Trucking and Kiswani National (Intermodal & OTR) out of South Holland, IL.
1) honest people
2) they understand and work with you
3) great bonuses/incentives ($250 clean inspection bonuses, 3x driver of the month $250 bonuses, $600 referral bonuses, ect)
4) extremely amazing pay (they pay tolls, triaxle, detention, ect), hometime 100% guaranteed with Intermodal.
5) discount fuel station at their terminal (currently $2.82!!)
6) free Prepass.. green light mania
only con i can think of (shoot me if i'm wrong, probably am)
they're going under a complete revamp of their safety program.... i mean, any driver related violation will result in a hefty fine.. but i guess thats understandable. this also makes sense because ever since they hired this new safety guy two years ago.. he's been on a roll.. in a good way. increase of work, increase of rates, more bonuses..ect and the improvement shows based on their CSA score.
they are about 65 trucks mom and pop company (drivers and owner operators)...

Just started with them two weeks ago, Owner Operator, so far, they are as advertised...I think I might have found a long term home here.
P.S. I should add, 5 of the 7 people you deal with at their office, were drivers for 3-7 years.....Last edited: Feb 28, 2015
keen98, Dominick253 and JJKid Thank this. -
bumping this thread... i think they're looking for owner operators to add to their fleet ..... give these guys a chance, i think you'll like them..
Dominick253 and w.h.o Thank this. -
So, their freight lanes ? Type freight ? Equipment ?
Dominick253 Thanks this. -
We do intermodal containers here so I've been to
IL, IN, MI, OH, WI, IA, MO.
Alot of customers so there's work to keep us guys going. But you get to know each customer because chances are, you will be back there sooner or later.
Rates are really good IMO... for a guy that's home everyday, i clear $2,500 to $3,500 after diesel, shop repairs and there's work available Saturday & Sunday.
I'm an O/O but they seem to specialize in freightliners for company drivers. they also have TRIAXLES( about 32 ) of them to carry heavy 20' foot containers. using a triaxle means you get an extra $75 just for using it!
there is really nothing bad to say about them. i feel comfortable here, family atmosphere. really love their fuel station... i can fuel at anytime and it's discounted aswell ($2.67 today). they also deduct the fuel from your settlement. They also have a truck and trailer repair onsite with the facility and it is all family owned so they are linked to the trucking company. They correspond with each other and the shop sends the bill to Accounting and they deduct it from my settlement aswell.
I also believe they have an OTR division but I dont know anyone from there lol. All I seen is they just purchased 5 new 2016 utility 3000R reefer's for their OTR division. Their road drivers also have cascadias as far as im concerned.. a little small division of like 5-10 people on the OTR. This company is mostly Intermodal company.Dominick253 Thanks this. -
Their OTR division is all reefer, they run Chicago to KC, Chicago to Dallas, Chicago to NYC and some west coast. Their OTR guys are getting ex Walmart Cascadias, pretty nice interiors actually and they all have TriPacs. I've been here three weeks and have met several OTR and Intermodal drivers as well as their mechanics. I've yet to hear a gripe...pretty amazing for a trucking company!!!!
