KLLM Driving Academy No Longer Offering Free Hotel For CDL Training?

Where are you located?

 

highly possible it IS true, or you heard it wrong when you were told that due to indeed your closeness, they will not pay for you to stay. .

i mean, 44 miles each day is a cake walk, when i had to commute 70 miles to and from to work 5 nights a week.

 

Either find another carrier to start out/train with -- OR.....

MAKE #### SURE you have incredibly reliable transportation (& ditto for your bedside alarm clock) during your training period.

Suggestion: CDL jobs for total rookies are tough to come by, of late. If you still have a job waiting for you with this carrier -- try to keep it (for AT LEAST 12 months; longer is even better).

What training is 6 days?

 

Hiring is tightening for now. Many drivers are jumping to refrigerated trucking because it's reliable for truck drivers. Now that refrigerated trucking can be more selective about drivers they hire, maybe that's the reason for no hotel at KLLM.
If you can, stick with KLLM because it's a good company to get started with. With refrigerated experience you'll always have a decent trucking job.

 

Follow-up: to "build" on what was said above/earlier.....as I write this -- the current job market for CDL holders with less than 12 months experience is......(edited for content):

N - A - S - T - Y

KLLM is about full of their own crap. They're not all that. Check out Swift, Schneider, etc.these and more provide lodging, transportation, etc.
