My KLLM company driving experience so far...

l/p is NOT an owner operator.

not even close......

 

Very informative from a student going to KLLM in 1 week after passing the driving test next week. How are things going now since your last post?

 

What's going on with all the Kllm trucks bobtailing here lately? I saw 3 parked at the truckstop the other day while I fueled and two going down the HW, no trailer. I never ever bobbed period when I drove for them. They're not organized enough to plan a pre load where you can roll in a hook onto a loaded trailer. Strange; just strange.

Everyone have a nice X-mas and drive safe.

 

It depends on where you were when you saw them. At the truckstop they were probably waiting for their loads at a customer. (I see Swift bobs at a few ts I visit frequently doing this) or maybe the ones on the hw were going to the mall to Christmas shop like I do. Yeah, that's right, I'm a trendsetter!

 

You go Red Hot! Keep setting those trends...many of us will follow you without a doubt!!

 

I tried talking my brother into not going to kllm as a company driver but he's hardheaded. It sucks that they are treating company drivers like that but I seen that coming when the LP started. I was a 19 series lease guy and payed the truck off 14 months early cause I seen the way things were going....that and there's no way I was re-signing for.88 cpm..hell .92 cpm was too cheap after I found out what they were brokering it out for! Oh well Bama07 I see ur taking the right attitude about things. Remember to put some payments back when u get them $1400-2200 weeks cause when u get towards the end and u wanna tell them to take a flying f### you can pay ur truck off and go elsewhere.

 

A friend of mine worked for KLLM and he said it was bad from the start. Had a Sico trainer that didn't take a bath for 6 weeks. The black guy that gave the driving test was a jerk and racist. When he started driving as a company driver he said it was night and day difference between company drivers and Lease drivers. He didn't stay there long. With KLLM if you are not leasing you will starve to death.

 

i dont disagree with bristol about the trainers here....but the comment you made about willie being racist is 100% false...willie is a great guy i am white and i see willie everytime i am here and we cut up and carry on ....so thats a 100% ######## so your friend got the wrong impression of him

 

Willie is a great guy and the farthest thing from racist I know. He is fair and probably lets people who shouldn't pass slide on by. As for the trainers, not all are like that. The one's that are keep their status because the students don't complain. All it takes is for one to tell that their experience wasn't safe and out of the program the trainer goes.
Get facts, not hearsay or opinion, before you post please.
