    KLLM has been hit with some less than friendly posts here lately. It would be great if you could find the time to relate some first-hand info. KLLM, as you know, is HQed in my home state so I'm particularly interested in what's really going on there. Thanks and good luck and good miles!

    i'm currently in training.. its going pretty good. trainer is good, i've been averaging 500-600 miles a day of driving time. seems like the complainers are the ones who want to come home every 2-3 weeks. dispatch seems like to like the people that are willing to stay out 4-6 weeks.. but again, i'm new, so take that with a big grain of salt. times are tough in this business, and i dont think anybody's really doing that hot. i'm just doing this to get a year's experience and going local/ltl back home.

    Since your're new and still under a trainer then I don't think you know enough to pass judgement on "complainers!"

    The company is pushing for 80 percent of lease drivers ! They are getting all the miles ! CompAny drivers are unhappy because they are getting leftover crap!
    And no not all company drivers are pushing to go home ! They are unhappy to be stuck out here with no miles to roll with !!! B

    Well week two almost done with my trainer, 1 week to go, we get some good miles. My trainer is ok he is southeast region. Everythings going smooth so far, but my trainer sleeps a lot and tried to borrow money from me and I said no of course. He banks over a grand a week so I don't know why he needs money. Anyway that's my only complaint, terminal staff is nice, ovrrall a good choice so far.
     
    JustSonny Thanks this.
