kllm as a company driver beware

This has been a great company. I had 2 relatives who worked for them for many years. It is very sad to see this company struggle to survive. Even worse to see the truckers taking hits in pay and benefits.

 

Looks Like KLLM is another mismanaged company looking to fail in the near term.

Treating drivers poorly and dropping pay while pushing leases is a bad sign.

Do your homework before you sign on...

 

I had heard a portion of KLLM was sold to a tire company. Is there any truth to that? What made the big change from KLLM being a great company to one that doesn't seem to care about their company drivers? Is KLLM trying to force their company drivers to quit? From the stories I have heard it sure sounds that way.

 

People if it was possible most company's would use contractors instead of company employees.If you ever ran a business you would see why in these times it would make good business sense to use contractors versus employees.

Cutting costs to stay in business is mismanagement? So if they pay you .50 a mile and gave you a free Cadillac health plan they would be managed properly? got your MBA from who?
I used to work for this outfit when they where still running cabovers and can tell you if they have gone bad it is not becouase they wanted to. Private industry is being attaced across the board and many are in survival mode out of necessaity.

 

profit margin lowering might help.

 

I just left them after 6 years.They were a good place,but have gone downhill fast.It seems like they are trying to drive out the older,higher paid drivers and replace them with trainees,but with the last pay cut,trainers got a double cut so most stoped training.

 

This seems to be quite typical for the large fleet companys out there.
