It's been very quiet in the KLLM forum

You can have anything that'll plug directly into the existing ports. They won't allow the larger inverters unless you have a "medical" need for it such as a c-pap or bi-pap machine. Even then they may hand you a 750w or so (cig lighter/power port connection) and say Happy Birthday!!!

 

What about idle time?

That is up to you, It's your bonus. I'd say If you are cold natured get some good blankets to help, But it is recommended to over cool/heat the cab then shut down. Then rinse/repeat if you get too cold or hot. The Cascadia's are pretty well insulated so it's not like you're getting up every hour to crank the truck. While in the snow line with my trainer we never shut the truck off when we stopped, but that was so we didn't have to worry if it would crank or not, and we didn't sit still for very long anyway.

 

thanks

I'm sittin at a rest area 'cause I ran out of hours, but had enough time till load delivers to sit for 24 hrs and wait till I gain back some time at midnight then roll on in to the reciever. Anyway, what I wanted to say (to the person that asked about how many miles they could get with KLLM as new driver) is I just added up my miles and have 3584 LOGGED miles in past 7 days. Course, KLLM doesn't pay practical miles.

 

Since they don't pay practical miles, whats that translate to in paid miles?

If you don't mind me askin'?

I can't say, that is logged miles for past 7 days, but it is not all whole trips, so I just don't know. IF had to guess, prolly around 3300, but that just a wild guess.

 

I use the little blue book to record the paid miles, plus I use an excel scrip i wrote to keep track of my actual miles vs. KLLM's paid miles to see what I'm loosing or gaining by their routing.

 

Well ...... I spoke with a recruiter and as of now KLLM is not hiring anyone west of Dallas TX.

Sorta leaves me out.

Thanks for the info anyway.
