    This is in reference to the KLLM located in Jackson, MS. I've been in contact with a recruiter for the past month or 2, which can be explained. I moved from Illinois to Mississippi over the Summer and the first requirement was for me to get my regular license switched over to MS which I just got done 2 weeks ago. Since then the ball has been rolling, I signed the conditional offer letter and the employment gap verification. We got all of that out of the way and then he started telling me about the training. He asked me had I contacted Hinds Community College as I need to speak with them. Can someone explain that part for me. So the training is actually through the college and not through KLLM themselves(although they offer to pay for it). I ask this because the college is located in Jackson, MS which is an hour away from where I'm staying and I have no way to travel to and from the school for 3 weeks, a few days maybe but not 3 weeks straight. Can someone help me understand this better or give me some suggestions. Thanks in advance.

    Kllm doesnt have their own school. So nearest school from where you Are at is the college which they approve of. See if they can give you a discount to stay at a motel during school. Good luck. Also some companies will reimburse you for school.

    I'm pretty sure KLLM provides lodging and meals there. Can't find my notes on it right now, but pretty sure that's the way it is.

    I'm aware that they provide lodging and meals but my question is does that pertain to my stay at Hinds? Like will they be paying for a dorm to stay in while at Hinds? Or is the meals and lodging referring to KLLM property? If you can't answer it's ok I'll just ask my recruiter tomorrow. Thanks anyway

    I think they provide lodging and meals at Hinds. Better ask though, but pretty sure they do.

    KLLM owns FFE (Frozen Food Express) and a few have been offered jobs there. Personally, if that were offered to me, I'd take it. Seems to be a good outfit. Either way though, you'll be on the road soon and making money.
     
    Velli Thanks this.

    I don't know if you remember but you're actually the one who referred me to them lol I was gonna choose Swift but I'm glad you helped me out. My Dad ran for KLLM in the past and said it's good company
     
    Chinatown Thanks this.
