    Don't let these haters deter you. I never made less than 60k a year including my rookie year and I'm no more different or special than anyone on here

    KLLM will "strongly suggest" for you to sign a lease agreement if you want to have an opportunity to work

    Probably less than you think. After a company pays out for training you, you are still going to be green for awhile. They should make money off of you if you don't cost them anything in accidents and claims issues due to your inexperience.

    Yet I would wager most if not all of these training companies wouldn't be interested at all if they knew you would bail in a year. First year drivers are pretty high risk, and are not as profitable as seasoned professionals.

    Anyways, good luck with whatever it is you are trying to do. Most of the megas with paid training are going to be pretty similar in the big picture, just look at starting rates.
