WHAT KBD OFFERS:
/
If I've said it once I've said it a 1000 times, KBD has been by far my favorite team to be a part of. They really care about each individual driver. They care about our health (mental and physical), our family life, our financial well being, etc. I can't express enough how thankful I am to have the opportunity to be part of the KBD family. To Cindy, Bruce, Pam and the rest of the KBD team, Thank you for making coming to work enjoyable.

MINIMUM REQUIREMENT

Lacking driving or border crossing experience? Consider our Mentoring Program, an opportunity to gain practical hands-on training with an experienced mentor.
How the mentoring Program works
Drivers participate in a hands-on program under the guidance of a mentor, safely gaining practical experience on the road while learning how to comply with hours-of-service, vehicle inspections, and load securement. Drivers learn company policies and procedures, best practices, safety and security, as well as many helpful tips to enhance their quality of life while on the road.
Each week, a drivers' progress is evaluated to determine the following week's module of training. Drivers initially travel in truck with their mentor between Ontario and Quebec, then, when ready, progress to cross-border shipments, driving between Canada and the U.S.. The length of training depends on the skill and experience of the driver, which will determine when each module is mastered, and may range from 2 weeks to 3 months.

I love working for KBD. It gives me the freedom to roam the open road after a career being stuck inside an office.
KBD gave me the tools and mentoring needed to adjust in my drastic career change. An intensive mentoring program, sympathetic and patient dispatch, and eager to help mechanical staff are just a few of the benefits. In the past year there have been many times when KBD has had more faith in me than I did myself. My self confidence and overall outlook in life has taken an extremely positive turn. Thank you for allowing me to do what I love everyday and get paid for it!

Are you keen to work in a friendly and rewarding work environment where we recognize that drivers are our most valuable resource and treated as such? As a driver, you'll be assigned a dedicated truck and receive an i-phone for business and personal use. In addition to communicating directly with dispatch every day, the dispatch team will do their best to accommodate individual schedules and lifestyle preferences.
KBD drivers are home weekly, often more than once, making home time and family time a reality.

We currently have an opening in our shop. We'd be interested in hearing from potential candidates, particularly those who are cooperative and dependable, enjoy working in a fast-paced environment, and have good problem-solving skills. We'd prefer an individual who is either licensed or currently apprenticing as a Truck & Coach Technician, but won't forego someone who shows drive and commitment as well as a promising mechanical ability to either apprentice or add to our team as a mechanical labourer. Over time, the position will be tailored to suit some of the successful candidate's strengths. But initially, to help the individual gain a broad knowledge of the shop, assigned tasks are likely to include both preventative and unscheduled maintenance on all trucks and trailers. Experience with inspecting equipment and identifying faults, knowledge of diagnostic computer programs, and wiring and electrical is also an asset. We offer a competitive wage as well as group benefits immediately upon hire, not to mention a friendly staff setting. If you're interested in finding out more, please contact Cindy for details. |

I like the small family feeling, having come from a very large company where you feel like a number, not a person. I also like the open door policy and not fearing that I can come to anyone at any time with any issue. Great overall teamwork ...
