Pay, Home Time, Benefits & What Drivers Can Expect
Choosing where to drive is a major career decision. For most CDL drivers, it comes down to a few key questions:
How much will I make? How often will I be home? Will this company be a good long-term fit?
At K&B Transportation, we believe drivers should have clear, honest answers before they apply. This guide explains what it’s like to work at K&B, how our pay works, what to expect for home time, and who our company is best suited for.
Who K&B Transportation Is as an Employer
K&B Transportation is a trucking company for drivers who value consistency, structure, and strong earning potential.
We are best suited for drivers who:
- Want predictable freight and weekly pay
- Are motivated by performance-based earnings
- Prefer clear expectations rather than guesswork
K&B is not designed to be everything to everyone. Our goal is to be the right company for the right drivers, not simply the biggest.
Pay at K&B Transportation: How Drivers Earn
Pay is one of the most important factors when choosing a carrier, and K&B Transportation is upfront about how drivers earn their money.
While pay varies based on position, experience, and performance, K&B drivers benefit from:
- Competitive pay structures—Choose Between Four Pay and Hometime Options Depending on Location. Many drivers find K&B Transportation as the highest paying company they have worked for.
- Guaranteed Weekly Miles—K&B Transportation has one of the highest guaranteed weekly pays in the Midwest, and based on what other carriers advertise one of the highest in the trucking industry.
- K&B Transportation stays away from up to pay, rather just pays what we say.
- Additional pay for detention, layovers, or delays. We also have the fastest paying sign on bonus for drivers.
Drivers who manage their time well and stay consistent often earn at the top end of their pay range.
At K&B, strong performance is rewarded — not capped.
Home Time & Scheduling
Home time is a top priority for most drivers, and K&B Transportation focuses on predictable schedules so drivers can plan their personal lives.
What drivers can expect:
- Clear home-time expectations discussed before hire—K&B Transportation is a company that lets their drivers choose their hometime with up to 4 hometime options depending on location.
- Consistent scheduling rather than constant changes—Whether you are looking for a home weekly driving job, every two week hometime driving job, a monthly hometime driving job or a driving job with extended time out but 10-20 days off a time we have the truck driving job for you.
- Communication upfront so there are no surprises
Specific schedules vary by location, and recruiters take time to explain home-time options during the hiring process by explaining all hometime options by location.
Benefits & Driver Support
K&B Transportation offers benefits designed to support drivers both on and off the road.
Depending on position, benefits may include:
- Health insurance options
- Dental Insurance

K&B Transportation may not be the best fit if you’re looking for:

However, K&B may be a great fit if you want:
