Why Kottke?

Why Kottke?

Devoting considerable time and dedication is integral to providing superb service. A notable effort from the family-operated entity, Kottke Trucking, signifies its pride in service excellence; quality is a key attribute. Unbeknownst to our clients, perhaps, but a fact nonetheless: we at Kottke are indeed aware of and committed to delivering nothing but our utmost.

Kottke Trucking, a story of success and survival, has been Connie and Duane Kottke's life dedication. Duane's early work consisted of operating a truck on a mail route. He then transitioned to transporting grains, becoming a dispatcher eventually; sometimes he fulfilled both jobs concurrently.

Rafael you made comment saying teach your driver's to pull forward...I do agree some are lazy and too far and out of shape to walk any further from the pump. That's why their fat and out of shape. Only next time you put a picture on here pay attention to the angle of your camera because both fuel islands on either side were empty and you made yourself seem just as bad in a different way from complaining.

A great place to work for they maintain there trucks I can say that. My truck had a issue with the headlight they did not try to cheaply repair it instead they changed both. The dispatch is the best anytime you have an issue there is someone 24/7 to talk to. I love it here.

I’ve been driving for the Kottke’s part time local work for almost 2 years now, as a new driver they have treated me extremely well with giving me nice clean safe equipment and adequate pay and they have a full time fleet of professional drivers. And as a driver I know they are always on time and provide professional service for their customers. They are a well oiled machine and continue to take their stand as a superior company in the trucking industry.

From your fleet manager up, no drivers concerns were ignored. Even the owners of the company would respond. Definitely showed concerns rather than blowing a driver off. Issues with your truck were resolved with in days not weeks .Only drawback was I wasn't allowed to take the truck closer to home to park in a secure location ( approximately 200 miles one way). Only reason for leaving was family medical emergency and personal driving distance.
