Description
Kim Wages is the best-kept secret for trucking company owners and investors. With thousands of trucking company authorities going active monthly, driver processes and procedures are often overlooked in haste. Kim spotted this problem and now with his signature “onboarding process” has helped over 180 trucking companies set a standard of excellence before their driver and truck tires touch the road. Kim, the Queens, NY naitive, grew up in a rough evoirnement that he refused to become a product of. His father was imprisoned, when he was at a young age, causing Kim and his older brother to grow up fast enduring the streets while seeking a more productive path. “Kim Kim” as he was know by in the neighborhood would grow and soon leave NY behind relocating to the Altanta where he got his start in the workforce after year's of trying to figure things out. Kim started his career working in a warehouse, growing into a leadership role at 20. He followed that by going to school to become a air plane mechanic but later realized that it wasn't for him. Subsequently, Kim got his CDL embarking on the journey with a entrepreneurial mindset. He would start off as a team driver and would later grow his own fleet of trucks through the Landstar system. Later, utilizing his knowledge, Kim would become the go-to guy, implementing “driver onboarding” as a white-label service for new upstarts. This service includes Meeting your company driver on location and taking them through a meticulous “Onboard Process”. Also, During the pandemic Kim and a partner also used their mechanical knowledge of trucks to do trucks sales, finding used trucks at auction, making them roadworthy, and re-selling them to customers looking to buy used at a substantially lower than market value cost, moving roughly 15 trucks p/month. With all these accomplishments, Kim and his team are just getting started and the future is bright. #trucknhustle Special thanks to my brother Fatman Scoop for the love.
