1. You genuinely hope I succeed or
2. It's so ate up there luck is the only thing I have to look forward to... -
You'll have the privilege of meeting trucking's best. Some drivers in orientation will have years of experience. That's to say you might meet "Bubby"......this guy can outdrink any driver out there. Or you might meet "Cowboy", this driver can leave Fresno at 8 am Monday and be in Atlanta Tuesday nite at 10 pm ! Then reload back to Fresno for Thursday nite. Or even "gearjammer" who runs 5000 mi/week, every week all by his lonesome ! Have fun !
Giuseppe Ventolucci, Highway Sailor, mountaingote and 2 others Thank this. -
Are any of them on here? -
He's trying to tell you that they are all legends in their own minds. Nobody at KLLM can run like that even if they wanted to, and anybody that would want to is an idiot. Don't believe all the war stories. P.S.- @Puppage was sincere in wishing you good luck. I am too

Yeah I know that some seem to exaggerate and I know fiction from fact. And thanks I hope it works out for me.
mountaingote Thanks this. -
I made it from Texarkana to Atlanta in 27h 50m once with a load of Coors.
Arkansas Thanks this. -

I have been with KLLM over four years. Feel free to ask any questions on this thread or PM me when you have enough posts to allow it, if you don't already. I am currently driving intermodal for them in Chicago which gets me home almost every night. I have stayed in the truck about 5 nights so far this year.
They used to pay some loads by miles and some by percentage. Now all are paid by miles with a sliding scale to keep the shorter runs profitable. Well, except for my intermodal position. We are paid a salaried amount for any day we work.
They offer the option to buy into health insurance. They throw a little bit into a 401K as long as you are participation. I don't remember any other significant benefits.
