    Consider this, as well.....

    Both Millis & KLLM are basically "one trick ponies" -- they each really do only one type of freight.

    If you decide later that you don't like their freight...or you get bored with it -- there are no good alternatives...without changing carriers.

    Meanwhile -- Schneider offers several different types of freight for you to try out -- & all under one company.

    With Schneider -- you also have many more company parking options available to you, at the end of each work shift. That may not seem like much now -- but trust me, later on....it will be a BIG DEAL for you. o_O

    Think about it....

    One type of freight? Where do you get your info from @lual ?
    KLLM deals with dry freight (hazmat and non-hazmat), refrigerated and intermodal.
    Since I've been here I've picked up for Dole, Fresh Express, Trident Seafoods, FedEx, SAIA, Southeastern Freight, Simplot, Mars; etc.

    Depends on:
    • The type of freight
    • The account(s) in question
    • The geographic area in question
    • The driver's experience level
    • & other factors
    The REAL question here is -- does the new driver want to "pigeonhole" themselves into just one freight skill set, & (later) job hop -- or (instead) sign on to a trucking "super buffet"...with a lot more opportunity...& a lot more freight?

    That was a rhetorical question @lual
    I already know Schneider doesn't pay more than KLLM.
    My average check on the Expedited side is $2500 weekly. This week's check is $2900. Highest check without a bonus was $3200.
    Highest check after performance bonus $4000.
    Let me know which division of Schneider pays that well.

    R U a brand new driver? Did you start off at "kill 'em" making that much (with zero previous exp)?!?

    You're also assuming the new driver can get the exact same acct/setup/mileage/cpm as you now have....
