    I did the kllm program for a day before I was sent home for high blood pressure. Seemed good on the surface but most of the people in my class looked like extras from "black hawk down" or "captain Phillips" not against anyone in any way but they couldn't understand English. Plus the whole 6 weeks with a trainer that if you didn't get along with was pretty much annoh well

    Also seemed like there was a lot of students who thought they could do it now just put me in the truck type attitude. Now personally growing up in a 79 Pete then working on a 96 Pete and knowing that I have and can drive a rig as well as dock, I didn't have that attitude.

    I will add Wilson Logistics to that list; one week of classroom training and the rest of the school is OJT in the truck with an experienced driver, not a rookie:
    Wilson Logistics

    Wilson Logistics is a family-owned trucking company that knows our drivers as well as we know our customers. A family-owned trucking company that knows our drivers as well as we know our customers. Check Out All We Have To Offer.
