Not much time and only one shot at this. Please help.

BTW, not everybody floats gears.....

 

don’t let it scare ya, go somewhere like Maverick they got curtain side division.

 

KLLM = kill 'em

 

Whenever I see CDL job ads for them of late...it's always for TEAM drivers -- not solo.

Depending on where you live relative to Valdosta -- you may (or may not) be close enough to this company, which has a facility in Vidalia, GA:

Training & Orientation

If I were in your shoes -- they would be my first pick for CDL employment, post-CDL school.

But...to qualify -- you (also) need to live within 100 miles of one of their terminals/DCs.

@ducnut can tell you all about them.

Past that -- KLLM is probably an ok choice...given the current <<<gulp>>> freight environment.

@Lostmykey can tell you all about KLLM.

Alternately -- you can go to the KLLM subforum...read all about it....& then draw your own conclusions:

KLLM

I've talked to Dot Foods in the past and it was 150 miles so who knows? Doesn't hurt to ask.

 

6 weeks with a trainer?

That sounds good -- provided that your assigned trainer is in fact reasonably experienced...a truly good trainer....& has the necessary patience.

If you wind up with a trainer like the one I had -- well...just ask for another trainer; don't waste 5+ weeks on a dud.

350 miles? 150 miles?

Maybe.

Suggestion: ask @ducnut about it....instead of a recruiter.

Follow-up:

The 3 KLLM job postings listed above all say, "3 months recent experience required".

But....if they will somehow backpetal on that....& take you as a brand new driver....hey, more power to ya.....

Also -- for KLLM: do you have someplace nearby that you can safely park your rig during hometime?

Will KLLM in fact let you do that?

If not -- that commute to/from the Cartersville, Ga terminal is gonna be a booger....
