It's been very quiet in the KLLM forum

I dont think you understand my point here. What I'm saying is that all this jibber jabber online about whether or not the company is in trouble is moot. If you really want to know if they are in trouble, look up their financials. Anyone can do it. I personally am not interested in it. But those who would accuse KLLM of being in trouble, should post a little data to back up their claims.

 

Thats good to hear about your success.. I can't wait until I finish college so I can hit the road... I work at Flying J so I hear alot of stories form drivers.. I just want the experience as a truck driver... Well have you seen Cali lately.. I see alot of KLLM drivers here in my area on Interstate 78 here in Mississippi..(Olive Branch/Memphis Tn) area... IS this one of you all heavy freight lanes?? Be safe talk to you later.

 

Newbie, I have some questions I would like to ask you about KLLM. If possible could you leave me your email address?


Thank you,
Janet

 

If you finished the school, you finished the school. Try it and see.

I seriously doubt you will have ANY trouble whatsoever getting a copy of your cert from ASD. Seriously. Pick up the phone.

 

i start orentation at KLLM november 9 so that should put me end of my 6th week december 23 now will they send me to test out but seeing how thats right at christmas will they send me home till after or will be spending christmas in the truck or at jackson

 

Yeah Jarhead, you're right. I think if you really look, you will see ALL trucking companies are down right now, regardless of who they are. Everyone is cutting expenses and trimming fat. Just a fact of life right now. I can only say that, I'm working as much as I can take right now. I could do less if I wanted, and may be more if I could legally. I can only tell people what I'm seeing in this company. If they want to call me a KLLM Cheerleader, then so be it. My company has given me a good job, treated me well, my pay is always correct, and they are totally truthful with me. Therefore I support my company. Are they perfect? Nope, but find me a trucking company that is, and I'll leave KLLM right now. I just support the company I work for, and choose to keep a positive outlook for the future. They tell me we are strong and lean as a company, and they haven't lied to me about anything yet. So for now, I will trust them, that they are being truthful with me.

 

That, in bold, is probably the most important thing, at least from a Drivers' perspective. Nothing at all wrong with supporting your company IMO. That is the way it used to be in this country, somehow that disappeared. If you support your company, and perform in a way to save them or earn them more money, you are helping to ensure that they stay solvent and strong, as well as keeping your own source of income. I have no issues whatsoever with having pride in the company I work for because it will benefit me in the long run.

Drive safe, (former)newbie!

 

Does KLLM offer a school to go to or do you need to already have your CDL before they will even consider you?

 

I talked to a recruiter from KLLM yesterday and I am to report to Atlanta Dec.1 for orientation.
