Hope this helps you.

Nolan533, I graduated June 1st and have spent the rest of the month checking out trucking companies. I have been asked by USA, TransAm, and TMC to get back with them to set an orientation date. I applied with all of them and Roehl. They have yet to get back with me. TMC was the most respectful and understanding one I worked with. But I still wasn't sure until I talked with KLLM. Mike was a no BS kind of guy. He told me like it was and didn't sugarcoat much. Hometime could have been better, but I liked the sound of everything else. Reading RT69's comments and info was really helpful. I have applied with KLLM and Mike has told me to call back Monday for a finalizing of my paperwork and hopefully set an orientation date. I have checked every company I could think of that hires new drivers and I think KLLM is the best. I hope this helps you out.

 

Nolan533, When I was in school we had 2 people come back thru to brush up on logbooks. They had went with Werner right out of school and did 6 months before they re-hired with other companies. They said they couldn't wait to get away from Werner. I have read good things about Roehl but I am swinging toward KLLM because of the no Canada and no forced NYC. Their web site and my recruiter Mike assured me of this. I lived in NY for 20 years before going to Tenn. I worked just outside of NYC for 1 1/2 years. It is no place I want to drive in. KLLM also must have runs by my home area because I see their trucks around Nashville.

 

Sorry to tell you but as you are figuring out that is actually pretty common. (150mi radius) When I drove for Interstate I had to leave my truck at the Lebenon, TN terminal 90mi from home, but I knew a guy that lived 153mi away by mapquest so he was able to take his home. I wish it wasn't that way and after doing the commute before I have to admit that it does come into play when I'm looking at a carrier.
