    KLLM Sounds good. Don't know what you can expect from this company but from what I've heard drivers that are with that company seems to be liking it.

    I am a KLLM company driver.

    I did a year of midwest regional out of their Portage Indiana yard. 10 cents more per mile but not as many miles. Lots of waiting at docks at produce shippers/receivers. I never got out of a Meijer in less than 5 hours!

    Now I pull trailers in and out of the rail yards for a salary.

    Lots of stories about drivers, company or lease, that are doing well. And some that get no miles from their dispatcher.

    Orientation was a breeze. 3 days of information, forms and the med test, then assigned to a trainer. The hotel is not terrible. A few restaurants within walking distance.


    Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.
