#### I haven’t seen a KLLM (KINKY LOT LIZARD MOLESTER) trucks in quite sometime thought they went belly up.

If it sounds too good to be true...............
I'm interested to see/hear what kind of lies are buried behind what we're being told here. I think we'll soon find out this is going to be full of holes before its all over with.
Experienced Applicant: Yeah, but I read on Fox Business that you're paying $120,000 in the first year!?
Recruiter: Yeah, well..... ummm... that's only if.........SevynsUp, JolliRoger, Western flyer and 2 others Thank this. -

Then the they're only going up marginally for regional and ICs. That's telling me that they aren't hurting that bad for those positions. The steadiest most surefire way to make money on this industry is to get out here and burn up the highways, and these companies are doing everything they can to make it happen. -
Starting pay went from 47 cpm to 60 cpm (70 max with experience). They are also switching from hhg to practical miles. As well as paid home time. Hometime is accrued at 2 days per 7 out; it was said a $100 per day off for all days accrued. So have 14 days (accrual cap) but only take 4 days? $1400.
I was off for an injury in 21, but my first full year with them in 2020 was 53k (detention, layover, holiday bonus included) on about 108k mi. So convert the hhg to practical, I don’t know what’s a reasonable comparison so just gonna skip it. 108k x .60 = 64800, add in paid hometime, hypothetically 52 weeks x 2 days x $100, it’d actually be less than that cause you can’t accrue hometime while on hometime. It’s just for simplicity… and it’s still over 70k.
This is also without any productivity bonuses. Which I was so bad my first year that I only got it once or twice. And that’s with hometime, I sure as hell didn’t stay out 52 weeks in 2020.
Edit: starting pay in 2020 was 45 cpm.Last edited: Jan 25, 2022
