    Note that KLLM has a "sister" company: FFE (Frozen Food Express).

    FFE offers a similar "refresher" pgm.

    FFE has a different business model from KLLM -- they do more linehaul, terminal-to-terminal loads.

    Thus -- the experience you'd get there would probably appeal more to an LTL fleet, later on.

    I would respectfully submit -- FFE is probably a better option for you:

    FFE = Frozen Food Express
    KLLM = Kill 'em :p

    One thing I’d also say is you don’t always have to go the OTR route if you don’t want. Plenty of local companies out there willing to give someone a shot

    I’ve tried but no luck getting a response, except one company. The recruiter suggested OTR for 3-6 months.

    It’s been a bit of a challenge for me. I’m willing to do whatever I have to do, though. Gotta earn those stripes somehow.

    My new favorite flavor - Orange Koolaid!
    SNI has been a big improvement and they’ve taken care of me. Hotel rooms, Ubers, a nice truck. Plus my first paycheck after orientation is going to be bigger than any check I got my entire time over at the last company. My boss is pretty chill too, he was a driver and he definitely gets it.

    That’s great! Awesome to hear you have something good. I reached out to SNI but I didn’t hear back.
