KLLM and Lease Purchase

Those "morons" DO allow you to get stuff done at TA and other places. I have been in two TA shops in the last month...

And yet still, (I know I am not alone here), I still love the company. Yeah, I have had shop stories, but they have also done me right in every instance I needed them to. ALOT of it is determined by the attitude you carry with you when you talk to them....

Are they perfect? No! Are they anywhere near as bad as they are being made out here? NO!!!!

I haven't been posting as much only because I am WORKING!

 

Romans is alive and doing very well! (except for the six extractions I have to get done at the dentist next month)....

Don't let them fool you, KLLM is alive and kicking... These rumors about repos, low miles, bankruptcy, etc are just that... Rumors.

Consider... Some say the company had 128 cascadias repoed... Yet right after, the company had the credit to go buy 50 new volvos???

My miles keep going up... And so do my friends who is a die hard company driver... He averages about 3100 miles a week... Me being regional average 2100 but with percentage pay I make more than otr...

The company just EXPANDED into intermodal also...

KLLM is going strong... Don't listen to the hype

 

Truly no offense to RT here but if ANYONE else was to use such veiled vagueness and sentences covered in mystery surrounded by an enigma, held within a puzzle..... They would be laughed at...

For real, id like to tell you what I know but I just can't for reasons I M not allowed to talk about or even acknoledge that I am aware of... All that to say, I'd tell ya but then I'd have to kill ya!

ROFL

GIVE IT A REST

 

The article I read a few years ago was about intermodal at KLLM.

Not just involved, but switching over completely to intermodal.

Guess we'll have to wait and see.

Good to hear from you Romans612, it HAS been a while !!!

 

As just a casual observor of this thread, I tend to agree here. I truly believe RT has gotten the very short end of the stick a few times, but if she is going to make statements then back them up, or don't make them at all. The secret squirrel deal really only makes you lose credibility RT, in my mind anyway. Nothing personal here, just a thought.

Conversely, I half admire Romans for his loyalty to his employer/business partner, and half think he is foolish to think that just because he hasn't been screwed yet that he wont eventually get screwed.

I know absolutely nothing about what goes on at KLLM, however it seems to me that any driver/dispatcher/mechanic who thinks they have a real idea of the inner operations of a large corporation is dillusional. But that is just my opinion based on my experience, I could be wrong.

 

Well, all I can say is good luck then, Romans et al.

 

Don't worry about me, I hold no illusion that it couldn't happen to me. And as a matter of fact I have already had a few run ins with the shop, and have been burned, though in all honesty, KLLM took care of me during the extended downside and admitted it was their fault.

I am not naive, nor am I in the "honeymoon" phase...

I am just saying that as far as the BIG picture goes, KLLM has treated me very well....
