    I am thinking about going with KLLM. I have not driven since 2007 and I am going to school again but still have my CDL, just havent driven OTR. I just saw that KLLM just bought FFE out of dallas out and it making KLLM the second largest refer company in the US. What do yall think about KLLM?

    I left KLLM in 2008 when they started making cutbacks to pay/benefits. It was a sign, a sign they start at the bottom, which had a sharky, predator aspect. The company is reputable throughout the industry, never sat for long, no touch freight. And I'm not one to care if terminals are nice or not because I don't spend time in them but their's are not nice, downright nasty. I heard they bought FFE, not impressive really, just more sharky, predator movement probably on a company that's failing. FFE lost $5 million in 1Q 2012 and they lost $3 million in 1Q 2013.... blood in the water for sharky KLLM.

    But what do I know? I know I wouldn't go back.
