KLLM lets new grads go solo don't they? -
I know from orientation they tend to talk up KLLM, because everyone wants FFE. I stuck to my guns because I was set on pulling reefers, but a lot of people switched over to KLLM from FFE after the sweet talking. They were told they might have to wait a week for an FFE trainer. After all that was over with, most of the FFE people were off with trainers and a lot of the KLLM people were still waiting. lol. I was the last name on the list and they flew to meet with mine by early the next week.
Unfortunately the guy that went KLLM that I spoke with in training often disappear and I couldn't get his number. So I can't say for certain about KLLM. But I haven't heard any complaints. And my driving instructors that retired with them said you can make a great living if you go out and get it... and not just sit around a wait for stuff to go your way. -

I was with them 2008-2010. Decent enough place to learn. Hated their opti-idle but that’s probably changed. Lots of beef loads out of Colorado when I was there. Lots of drops at Hunts Point in the Bronx too so be prepared for traffic. Did quite a bit of LTL even though I was a 48 driver.

Hi, I was curious....
- Do they train in manuals ?
- Do they have driver facing cams ?
-what's the starting pay cpm after their school ? -
They train in manual though most of their fleet is now automatic.
The Academy training trucks had driver-facing cams, probably mostly for training quality assurance.. Making sure you don't get yelled at too much, etc. Have not been in a truck working with one.
I started at 0.40 cpm.
With FFE most of the money is running teams driving around the clock. If you solo its take home about 600-800 a week. Teaming is 1200-1600 give or take depending on what division you choose to work in. Linehaul is the easiest and on the lower end of the scale. Plasma is a dedicated account that probably pays the best.
They do hair follicle drug test now.kwan2323 and BlueThunderr Thank this. -
