    KLLM will take your new company truck away every 3 to 4 months and lease it to a lease driver. You will be awake all night during the process of moving your stuff from your truck to a storage locker and then at dawn starting your ride across the country to recover an abandoned truck that needs service or won't even start.


    No safety bonus pay. No idle bonus pay. No APU's and no inverters allowed in company trucks. When I arrived at one of the company yards and asked the shop to repair my qualcomm during my time off they said I must drive the truck to a repair shop across town and begin my time off later.

    Yeah, I found that out the hard way in the 70's. Nice truck assigned, then, bamm, "come by the yard, we're switching you out". I guess that's why I never really had a desire to load up my truck with tons of stuff, because, at some point you will get switched out/assigned a different truck whatever and I hate unloading my stuff. One time I had 3 different trucks in 2 days !

    Same thing if you ask to have something as simple as having windshield wiper blades replaced; you're on your own. Then; you have to read all the stupid qualcomm messages about safety. No proactivity there with that company. All reactionary management.

    KLLM is in the lease purchase business. They could care less about company drivers.

    when you picked your name, did you think maybe you would want to discuss other things besides how bad a company KLLM is?

    Just because is their truck doesn't mean they should use and abuse their drivers.
