Here is just one of about 10 threads about KLLM.

I don't know anything about Tyson personally. Heard a lot of their drivers are happy there, though.

I'd go with tyson if you can get in. You are paid because of the products they sell and not the freight money they charge. Sort of the reason people want to work for walmart directly.They sell products in stores thats how they make a profit and your an employee insuring the merchandise gets to the stores. Best of Luck in your search.

scarecrow03 .. do u know if kllm has good benefits or not ? also being a solo driver for kllm did u get plenty of miles with them ? did u run coast to coast with them or did the company keep you in a certain region ?
-
The benefits just changed, haven't been able to find out any info about the new plans. Plenty of miles, and yes, they run you back and forth, coast to coast.
-
If you had read the post I copied you would've seen the miles I got while I was with them.

leannamarie.. thks for the info . i asked kllm to mail me some stuff about the benefits and stuff about the company the only thing they mailed me was a application. do u know how much it costs for there benefit plan for a family ? also when i was talking to them over the phone they said the company was closing down the dallas yard do u know anything about that
-
Sorry, no clue on either question.
-
does kllm haul pretty much frozen food or do they haul other stuff to ?
-
Mostly produce it seems like, but everything. They have gotten rid of their dry vans, so it is strictly refer. Everything from lettuce to paint to bleach to beer to meat and everything in between. Their biggest customer is Fresh Express.
