KLLM, TMC, OR NATIONAL CARRIER INC

You did the right thing for turning down national carriers. That job is below average at best. I worked there for four months and that was the worst decision I ever made. Some people on here swears it the best job in trucking because they are owned by national beef. Miles are average on a good week

 

National Carriers is a "second chance" company. They hire drivers with past problems that companies like KLLM won't hire.

 

That's what they say but they send people home all time. All they do is check DMV and dac when they pre hire you. They do the criminal background once you get there. Drivers tell the recruiter what they have and they say it's fine but when they get them to orientation they say something different.

 

KLLM recent bought Ecoshield. It was a company of about 50 trucks, I hear. For the time being they are only taking OOs but that will change also. When they start hiring company drivers, you might be able to make more transferring over there. They handle Hazmat loads.

 

Don't ever snitch on yourself. That DAC report can build up fast if you do.

 

@Majestic 670 look i bet this driver is making alots of money being a lease operator

 

I drove under 13'6 bridges several times and didn't have an issue. Aside from NYC, just go under them slowly and you should be fine.

You have to pay for fuel when you go off route? Even with construction detours? I haven't heard of that before. My partner and I have gone off route plenty of times with FFE because the fuel route was stupid and we just called dispatch and said we are fueling here instead. They said OK and approved our card to buy there.

One time we had to haul some food to LA from Dallas. We got routed up to I-40 to fuel in Abilene. Then west again off I40 before dropping down back to LA. We just took I20 and stayed on it. No one said anything.
