    Simple facts. Gross under 70k take home was around 50k. They do not maintain equipment for ####, except in KY. They will stand you wherever you turn the truck in at. So keep in that in mind when you decide to quit. You are on your own getting home no matter where home is.

    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.

    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.

    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?

    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..

    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.

    Do.Not.Come.To.Work.Here!!! Originally told $1500-$1800 weekly pay and barely making $500 weekly. On top of being told the check will be late again because of "bank issues". Expect to be out for 6+ weeks at a time and still be told it's not enough. It's funny because when you're constantly broke down from the crappy equipment or waiting for dispatch to reload, it's still not enough on the drivers part. The worst communication between departments and don't ask questions expecting an answer because 9/10 times you won't get one. Oh, and be sure to double check your insurance is correct before going to use it because it's probably not correct either. Truly disgusted with how this company has gone so far down hill.

    Currently been driving for them for 9 months.. My average pay is $750wk. Far cry from the $1500 they said I would easily make. No turned down loads and out 2-3weeks at a time. Lots of down time.Haven't been paid on time for the past 2 weeks. The say it's problems with the bank. Not a good sign at all!!
