KLB contracted to (Tyson Foods)

I pulled for Breeden for a couple years. Wasn't on the Tyson account as that's a fairly new gig for them. Over all, I don't really have any major gripes. Worst thing for me was the brown nosing "good ole boys" getting the best runs even though dispatch was "supposed to be ran" in a way that didn't allow it. But you have that at every company.

As for the pay, are they loaded out and come back empty? Not a bad deal that way. Loaded out then reload to come back? That might be a different story. Then again, you don't have to worry about paying for a trailer either.

 

Also, I think there is a fairly recent thread on here regarding a driver and that Tyson account. Try the search feature.

 

KL Breeden, aka Brisk, aka Drake Refridgerated isn't bad to work for except for the aforementioned favoritism. They'll probably tack on fuel surcharge bringing per mile pay up to about $1.60 which isn't peanuts for power only leasing. The only reason I left is because the 'good ole boys' found out that a 3X week run I had (that they had all been turning down) was actually quite lucrative and I no longer was given them.

 

I'm leased to them its a great gig. Right now its $1.75 all miles with the current FSC.. The only thing i hate here is you can't get a hold of anyone on sunday morning(they are in process of hiring someone) and the truck insurance is kinda high. The deductible is $2500.00. My last 2 weeks have been $6,000 weeks. They are all straight shooters and Tyson has great trailers if u got a problem with one call them and they will tell u to get it fixed. KLB isn't a company for a driver that only wants to work days. You must be willing to drive over nights

 

If you need anymore info just shoot me a PM.. Ill be happy to help you in anyway. I Know we have guys here only working 5 days a week with 2 days off and making good money.

 

They have hubs with different supermarkets and suppliers. Drake in Champaign was running Qualcomm, the 110 series that costs about $700 to buy privately. Some of them require company installed dashcams.

 

Yes they run up that way. They will route you up that way to a plant in WI. If u run under there authority you need eld truck(100% free). But if you lease on under ur own authority u can run paper. They use omni tracs they will install it
