Stick Around for Kennesaw’s $10,000 Seniority Bonus!

Rydal, Georgia –This year’s Christmas party is going to be something special at Kennesaw Transportation. The company will be giving out nearly $500,000 in bonus checks to loyal drivers. That should make for some extra special packages under quite a few trees.

Vice President and General Manager, Chuck Patrick is very proud of the program the company began in January 1999. Starting that month, every driver to stay with the company for 5 years will receive a $10,000 check. And teams receive $20,000.

“The idea came about at the same time we decided to become an employee-owned company, “ Patrick says. “If we were going to become a major market competitor, we had to bring our people with us. Some companies believe drivers are a dime a dozen. We don’t buy into that philosophy at all. We decided to put the strongest possible packages together so drivers feel that they are working for something that belongs to them.”

So back to the bonus money. Kennesaw has more than its share of senior teams. Patrick feels like the people who will be getting the bonus checks “Couldn’t be run off with a stick. “ Kennesaw has a smart business model. The bonus encourages people to stay, and word of mouth does the rest. “Our drivers talk to everybody, potential recruits as well as the existing drivers. Maybe a driver with only a few years who might be thinking of moving on will stick with us when they hear about how close they are to getting $10,000. “

Besides the five-year bonus, Kennesaw Transportation employees enjoy another unusual benefit – ESOP (Employee Stock Option Program). Not many trucking companies offer it because, at most companies, there is an awful lot of turnover. Mr. Patrick explains that the benefits are enormous. “It costs absolutely nothing, it comes as part of your employment here. Longevity drives the amount you are vested. The more profitable the company, the more you will get when you retire.”

If being part of a company that takes care of its people sounds appealing, this could be the right time for you to join Kennesaw Transportation, Inc. “We are always looking for teams, Owner Operator teams and even some solo drivers,” Patrick says. He adds that solo drivers “Must be close to our terminal. Team focus is really our carrier niche with our customers. They thrive on expedited freight. But we are increasing our solo fleet to 40 trucks.” Premium freight customers such as Wal-Mart, Fresh Express and Publix allow Kennesaw to offer drivers consistently high miles and good lanes.
