KLLM Driving Academy (Lancaster, TX)

Hows your lease going

 

You can expect to be gone 2 months.

Ration your savings and you will be ok. I might be a little slow johnny come late to this post, but I keep track of FFE/KLLM.

 

The 2 months is fine but its not a full 2 months unpaid. The first 3 weeks is unpaid besides the bonus for passing the test/physical and then orientation pay. From all the drivers ive talked to kllm isnt perfect but they're a good starter company. Turns out my uncle knows one of the trainers with kllm

 

I was with FFE a few years until 2001, I was a company driver with specific path to trainer for wife then full husband wife team out of Lancaster. We had a good run with them except that the sheer volume of trips taken (Interchange) could not keep up with payroll for weeks resulting in 0.00 paychecks despite a full 7000 miles run. We learned to write everything down and by trip number too, visit the DM upstairs and cut a comcheck for a thousand dollars or whatever it comes out to net pay once a while to keep current.

That was my experience anyhow. Everyone there was good to us as was all of the Dispatchers around the USA with the possible exception of highland chicago after we refused a Ontario rescue one winter night. There are a couple people who we remember and wonder if they stayed on into the KLLM Days in Lancaster.

 

Im fine with sucking it up for a year. Even if I made 400 a week id be doing better than I am now. Ive also found options around me that require a year of experience or less so i can suck it up a year

 

Sounds like a good week but crappy day

 

I hope the lease keeps treating you well. Im hoping to start here soon just got to get my grandmother taken care of first. Just found out today that she has to get a heart test done and possibly surgery. I haven't turned in the paperwork yet or had my mvr ran again. I talked to the recruiter and explained the situation, he told me just to turn in the paperwork and that'll rerun everything whenever I am ready to start. Gonna keep studying and saving up just hoping that the test comes back with good news and hopefully nothing major. She practically raised me so i need to be here for her

 

The Cardiologist will know for sure if she needs something done and if it is within the realm of possibility. It is good your Company wants to keep you around after this has passed and you can roll again.

Good luck.

 

Well the recruiter told me plain and simple that since i hadn't submitted the paperwork and again and they haven't ran anything else a second time that it won't affect me. It'll just delay it a bit but i have to be here for my grandmother
