Just to get the obvious out of the way, we DO have electricity and running water. But beyond this obvious misconception there are some other persistent myths we consistently hear regarding South Dakota trucking companies. Here are the 3 most common myths and how we disprove them!

Myth #1: Everyone is a man. 

Just look at our staff page! We have plenty of women working for this South Dakota trucking company; both in our corporate office and as drivers. At K & J we are proud to be a trucking company that welcomes female truckers and male truckers alike. In fact, we are working to increase the number of female drivers!

Myth #2: We are not technologically advanced.

At K & J we pride ourselves in rolling out the latest and greatest in trucking technology. If it improves the lives of drivers, we want to hear about it. We offer our drivers access to accessories like Autosocks instead of chains and we offer e-log options to help you transition naturally before the government mandate in 2017. 

Myth #3: You can't make money by trucking with a South Dakota trucking company.

Our drivers are well compensated and do well financially. It takes organization, dedication and good planning, but driving truck can be a very successful career, and especially in South Dakota. Because of our location in the center of the country and our close proximity to industry and agriculture, South Dakota trucking companies are in a great location for moving freight. 

If you're looking for a change and you thought South Dakota trucking was too behind the times for you, we hope you rethink that assumption. We have great opportunities for drivers coming on board with us. We would love to start a conversation!
