Do a search and you will find all kinds of info on KLLM on this forum. One frequent poster just picked up her leased truck from them last month. Look under the "Trucking Company DAC Reports" section. My husband works for them and we are happy.

I wish you success.

ecano,

In this business you shouldn't think. Its either I can do it or I can't. Look at the crete forum in "Favorite company" and ask how many mile they are getting per week.

For lease ops, ask Thumper a guy who leases a truck from Trans Am. Finally, ask Jess in the central truckstop thread on how many miles JJ (her fiance) is getting. In the end, its up too you; however in this economy, I would go company first reguardless of having a good business background. Leases only benefit the company who leases the truck to you.

If you can, try to get on with John Christner Trucking. They have a more attractive lease program as well as Schneider National.

I wouldn't go that far but I am venturing to guess thats right plus he wants to be in charge not the company itself.

Thumper doesn't work for TA anymore and his buddies that were there with him are gone also. You will NOT make money as a LO with TA. Am a company driver with them myself and have talked to 4 of them that were quitting this week. One had 14 yrs experience and another had 10. My trainer says he makes less than a company driver does and is heading to JCT.

Talked to a JCT driver at the KW dealership Friday, he only had a few minutes. Miles for hime were over 5000 a week for the last couple of weeks. Hope this helps some.
