KLLM, TMC, OR NATIONAL CARRIER INC

I have a clean background and I have no worries about passing a drug test. Ive made the mistake of jumping around to different companies but now I want a company to stay at long term. My wife will be joining me in two years and we will be running teams. Money right now is not as important as home time. One of the companies I left showed me as terminated and now I am having a hard time finding a job because of something "Adverse" on my report.

Over two years I have walked out of a few orientations even after being hired. I've worked over the road for three weeks and sat for 6 days so I quit. I've had weekends off with 1,000 dollars minimum guaranteed, the catch was all your going to make is a thousand dollars. I like to run and I like to run my clock out if I can. I know long term more than a week I will want to try to work on my recap which is not too bad for me. I have learned that I expect too much, but my wife wants to retire in two years and we have decided its best for me to get the experience now and even train her when she comes out.

KLLM has offered two days home time per week, the recruiter told me I can start orientation when I am ready. She also told me the typical time out is two weeks out and four days home. This sounds good to me. The have options to go local, regional , or over the road. The reviews seemed mixed between happy and not so happy people. I was told if I am qualified I could train my wife.

I have my Hazmat , X endorsement, TWIC card, and Passport.

National Carrier- I can start Monday. The lady was very pushy wanting me to start right away, telling me I should hurry because I am putting my career on hold. I personally don't like pushy sales people but she is correct. Home time is out three-four weeks and home for four solid days. I cant find but a few negative reviews and all the others seem like they are absolutely in love with the company. My assumption was the ones that liked the company didn't bother with reviews so you had to read the bad ones and think about what they are saying. They do have teams. I was told I could not train my wife because I will miss things.

TMC- Home every weekend. Good reviews and bad reviews. they pay a percentage of the load. They only offer teams to husband and wives. I do like flat bed idea but the wife tells me she will not be the one tarping and doing all the dirty work. I don't mind doing the hard work. I can go out as long as I want too. I live in Florida and I hear its hard to get into Northwest Florida sometimes. I was told I could train my wife if I was qualified.

I am asking for an honest opinion. I have a little experience with refrigerated cargo. Once I make my choice I have to stay for a very long time. I have to much job hoping on my resume. I want to be with a company that is well known, job security, and I can actually work.

 

Thanks. I’ve turned down NCI, they wanted a decision right away. I signed up for KLLM and I’ve heard bad things about leasing so not doing that. Right now I just want something to stay at and KLLM has terminals everywhere, they also have regional and local jobs. I keep finding places I want to work. I worked for a small company, I had to worry about them going out of business, they had to find freight, a tire blew and they forgot about me, nine hours later I was rolling again. I’m sure there are really good companies and there are really bad companies.
Right now I really don’t want to be out for three weeks. When I team I’ll be out for months
