KLLM vs FFE

Last month they were setting it up and getting ready. Moving trailers and equipment. This week it fully open for business.

I know they have been hiring for there for over a month now.

 

Have you heard any particulars? I understand it's more of a LTL position.

 

I haven't heard much. I know they were looking for drivers for all postions. Ltl is always hiring.

There also are openings for yard dog, warehouse, and office personal.

The terminal manager's name is Rich. I don't have a phone number for him though.

 

The recruiter I've spoken with talked very highly of him. Said he was a good guy and a drivers manager.

I appreciate all the information you've given. Stay safe!

 

You're welcome. I just left there. Was helping out this past week with local/regional runs for them.

Everyone at that terminal was easy to work with and very helpful.

Good luck. If you need anything else let me know

 

How was the LTL aspect? Did they keep you fairly busy?

 

Yes, I stayed busy helping out. They said right now they have plenty of work not enough drivers. I am sure it will stay busy especially as they get more accounts.

Did runs mostly to Southern Va and NC for them. I did go to Lithonia (Atlanta) and back on one for them.

 

So, basically multi stop runs unloading few pallets at each stop?

So, basically multi stop runs unloading few pallets at each stop? Do you know how many drivers they have and how many they need?

Thanks again for your help. I'm about an hour away from Rocky Mount and want to be sure it's a good fit before I make a decision.

Stay safe out there.

 

If you do local / regional it will be multiple stops either loading or unloading. (We are 100% no touch freight)

One of the loads I did last week was a pick up two different places. The 1st pickup was in Roanoke, Va. Had nine pallets loaded. Then went to the next pickup that was in Salem, Va. That one I was 15 pallets. Then back to the yard.

The next day the load was 5 different drop offs in Richmond, Va with 3 pickups on the way back.

A regular local/regional driver will run harder than I did, because linehaul drivers helping out are used as overflow. Meaning we just cover if we don't have a load and they need help.

Local gets paid by the hour. Regional gets paid by the miles plus $35 for every stop.

Linehaul when helping out Local/Regional gets paid whichever way pays more.

I am not sure how many drivers they have/need. When I stop for the night I can get the drivers manager number for you to call and talk him.
