KING FREIGHT LINES

The trucks, are pretty new and in good shape. The trailers range from new to god awful. More god awful than good. If you get put out of service for one of the old, falling apart trailers, the company fines you $200 even if it was something beyond your control. Even if they don’t get fined. 
The pay is low end. Wait time is unpaid up to 30 hours per week for short haul. That’s the extreme end but 20 unpaid is not unheard of. They regularly claw back safety bonus for regular maintenance issues like flat spotted tires. They don’t let you know they stole it. 
Holiday pay is about 60 percent of the legal amount and if you complain they tell you if you don’t like it go to work elsewhere. 
The managers are abusive, and have a group of people that try to trap other staff into saying something bad about them so they can keep an eye on you. 
Staff turnover is  extremely high.

In terms of pay it's not the best, but the management that run the place are an excellent bunch of people who I wish all the best for in the future.

The provided equipment is well maintained, and most of it is very new.

4/5 If they paid a little bit better they'd be 5/5.

all around positive work environment with knowledgeable coworkers willing to share info and help in the learning process.

management was respectful but still made sure the work was done 

I enjoyed trying new things and learning how to do them when they came up ,but most of the time it was just maintenance.

For Long Haul work is good company. 
Pay is fair. Management and dispatch very nice and respectful to drivers ! That is reason why I work here. Equipments are the best ! Only problem is with waiting time for reloads in Ontario, not paid any money up to 24 h waiting.  So ,  I do not like spending days in the truck without good mileage or paid for every hour spent out of home.

Family owned and operated for over 40 years. Some of the best wages in the industry locally. Runs are up and down the Eastern Seaboard. Plenty of new trucks and equipment is well serviced and maintained, with 25 additional new  trailers being added for this year..



I enjoyed working with the other mechanics, and management staff was nice and treated everyone fairly. Training was also on the spot and very informative. They also offer the apprenticeship program for heavy duty truck and trailer repair or heavy equipment repair.

Family run business who care for the employees.  Excellent management always a phone call away.  Top pay for long haul, 7 to 10 days out with good amount of hometime between runs.

Trucks are new and dedicated to each driver, pay is among the best in atlantic canada, benefits from first day. Home time is rarely interrupted, they let me determine when i leave. They do logs trips, usually to the south.
