My Experience With KLLM

I just talked to a recruiter today and she was very nice and helpful. I told I have not driven in over 4 years and she told me to take Sage's 80 hr refresher course. She also asked if my driving record was clean, I told her it was...no accidents, tickets, DUI's and she said I should have no problem getting hired. Of course I don't believe everything a recruiter says but at least she answered my questions...even answering the phone is a plus! Most of my call's to other companies end up in voice mail and I never hear from them no matter how many times I call!

 

Hey Driver Bill, Slow going for alot of truck companies. Why are you going back into driving?

 

Going back to driving because I was in real estate, which I can assure you is much worse than trucking right now. Also my now ex-wife did not want me to run the road and I did enjoy truck driving when I was in it. I know its tough now in the industry but for me it would be an improvement over real estate.

 

tjdooley7 I see your in raleigh...were practically neighbors! Do you drive with KLLM and if so how have you liked them so far?

 

Hello Driver Bill, Yes, I work for KLLM. I was injured last July. I tore my shoulder rota cup. I have had two operations on it and 8 months since I have driven. I'm on worker's comp. Ins. It's been a long painful recovery. The 5th wheel got me!

 

I'm finally upgraded, i.e. graduated from training, and I will be getting my own company truck in the next few days!! While I was in Jackson for my upgrade tests, I noticed that Woody is no longer with the company. He was the orientation instructor, and I might add, an excellent one. I am sorry to see him go. Not sure where he went or why.

I am looking forward to driving solo now and am excited to have made it this far. Good luck to all of you still in the orientation/training process.

 

Hey man!
Congrats!
I'll be in Jackson tomorrow afternoon/evening! Look for me! I'd love to say Hi!
I'll PM you my truck number....

Bought me a REAL CB...a Cobra 29 LTD Night Watch...now I just have to get it tuned, peaked, tweaked and pimp out my system. I have a microwave so I can have HOT food. I'm sending my stallion to the trainer next month......first foal is due the 23rd of this month....

Life is good!

Sorry to hear you got hurt and hope you have a full recovery.

 

Glad you got paid RT! Let us know how that CB works out for you.
