Kiswani Freight reviews

Good company run by good people. I have been here for nearly 2 year and never see myself going back to a mega carrier like Swift, J.B. Hunt, or Schneider. You do have to run hard at Kiswani, but you will be well compensated for it. The staff are great, dispatchers have their moments, but everyone is close and seems to get on well. The shop does great work and are very competent. As far as equipment goes, I think they put their money in the right place. The tractors are a ragtag, but well maintained group of Cascadias, Columbias, and Obligatory White Volvos, in sleeper and daycab form. A fleet lineup would find veterans from many different fleets including Schneider, Walmart, Publix, A&R Logistics, and Ryder. They really spent their money on their chassis fleet, which rivals most any drayage company out of Chicago. I see many companies with shiny new trucks and junky private chassis with dayton wheels and retreaded tires.

Kiswani really have outdone theirselves by hiring such great personnel. They are always willing to help and never leave anyone stranded. They do their best to make sure all is well.
