Pros

Unlimited pto, free lunch, flex.

Cons

KT employees have zero idea what they are doing. They banked on the OPL experience and knowledge of those employed to make the decisions, do all the work and then take credit for it. They are never available and work the hours of 10am (if you are lucky) to about 2pm. Wanted all OPL's feedback and then claims he "made a mistake". I fully believe they will not succeed with the smart load board. It is much worse than all other load boards out there and they now do not have those doing all the work to back them up. They have zero idea what a carrier wants, how the market works, or what type of equipment is even out there. This load board will absolutely fail in the end-- their big "mission" will no longer be one in ~6 months.

I want to start by thanking you for taking the time to leave a review and share your feedback. Making the decision we did - to close One Point Logistics - while necessary for the health of the business, was not easy. We built an amazing team across OPL and Freight and we hired incredible people who contributed significantly in their roles and to our culture. In addition to providing severance to employees, we have provided career transition resources to assist with finding new jobs. It is incredibly important to me and the rest of the management team that we take care of those who were impacted. Please let us know if there's anything else we can do to make things better here by emailing us at opendoor@keeptruckin.com - Shoaib Makani

Pros

None, should have been called no point logistics

Cons

I’ve never worked for a more shady company. Hiring over 150 people for their brokerage side, while investing no money on resources, marketing or technology. We were set up to fail from the beginning. The amount of talent that they let go to waste is sickening. Please stay far away from this company as they are not forthcoming or trustworthy. Wouldn’t have left my last job knowing that I wouldn’t have a job 6 months later. What a joke.
