Which headquarters? KLLM

Does anyone have any good info for an experienced driver thinking about going with KLLM? I'm just trying to do some research before I jump. I'm doing dry van right now, but it is extremely slow. Looking to get back into pulling a reefer.

Anyway I got 3 1/2 years with a clean record. I live just North of Knoxville, TN. Just didn't know how long I'd be out, where I'd have to do orientation, when I could expect to get in a truck, how good of a truck I'd jump in to, etc.

Thanks for the help. Seriously considering KLLM as I've heard good things about them before I read these posts on here.

 

well i started today in orientation so far so good.we did drug and physical 2day went over paper work i think we have more 2morrow i'll keep posted the best i can.

 

I'm still trying to make that 31st orientation so any info you have would be appreciated. Its taking forever to get my application processed. Recruiter is still waiting on job verification but its been a week and a half. I'm supposed to call this thursday so hopefully it will be done.

 

we still have payroll and more paper work to get ready. all that i can tell u is keep calling is mike the one u r talking to? nice guy just keep calling and follow up on everything.

 

It is Mike, he does seem nice and I don't think its anything he is doing that is taking so long. He told me that they normally have 100 applicants a week but they are seeing about 400 a week now. That seems like an insanely high number. My friend that was also checking into them was told their orientations are full until the end of April. I asked Mike about it and he said maybe I can still get in on the 31st. Yea right...................

 

we had 14 in our class room pretty full.just hang in there.

 

Man, just 14? Is that the only class? At 2 weeks between orientations and 800 applicants, I guess you really have to consider yourself lucky to get in a class.

 

Finally got word that I got into the 31st orientation. Recruiter gave me the number to a Ramade Inn. Anybody know if this place is decent? How far away from orientation? He didn't give me any other info, I guess you get shuttled everywhere? I'm going to drive down and if I immediately go out with a trainer I guess I will figure something out with my car. Anybody have anymore new info? These kllm threads die off hard it seems.

 

The Ramada is decent. I think its off exit 237 on I-75 and the terminal is exit 233. They will shuttle you to and from the terminal. You can also drive your car if you wish.
