kllm

I am considering going to work for either KLLM, Crete , Gemini Traffic Sales or Nancy Baer Trucking. Just want to make the most money I can make and have reasonable hometime. I have been approved for all but can't seem to figure which would be the best long term. I have seen and heard both good and bad about all of them. I just can't afford to be wrong. Any ideas would be appreciated.

 

orientation was 3 days get a dot phys and drug test do a simple around the block a couple times do a 45 or 90deg back just use 4ways GET OUT AND LOOK and blow your airhorn twice like beepbeep before you backup watch a movie on smith system watch a movie on highway watch and read company matieral LOTS of paperwork couple of tests usually open discussion thats all orientation was as for training its 3 weeks if you have some exp or 6 weeks if your just outta school basicly work on shifting backing macro's logs pretty much learn how to do your job you dont run as a real team during training its more of a B team the trainer will observe you and tell you what your doin wrong/right

 

Not all the trainers run that way. Some trainers are quite happy to brag about how many miles they get because they are trainers, and how much money they are making while they are sleeping. Some trainers aren't happy at all if they get under 6000 miles a week, heaven forbid you might need some practice on something or need to learn some paperwork.

 

Gool Luck MHW, I' rolling to Fresh Express but as always, I'll ake sure I stay away from the Atl yard....any how I really hope it works out for you as well as it has for me! Semper Fi .....

 

Ledbetter when you left KLLM did you receive your last full paycheck? Did KLLM return your $350 truck deposit?

 

What truck deposit? My boyfriend didn't have a truck deposit.

 

That is weird, my boyfriend paid no truck deposit. Yes, the security kit is deducted at $10 a week, but no truck deposit.

 

I keep trying to figure out why people keep saying this. I have never had a problem with the Atlanta yard (other than they never have any empties and I have to go hunt one down from a customer). My truck gets fixed faster in their shop and I have never had a problem getting a load out of there.
Before you ask....no, it is not my home terminal. Dallas is...rather was...now it's a drop yard.
