Just finiished the course with KLLM. We had a guy that was coming back after 5 yrs. After seeing how he handled a truck the first week (manual transmission) they gave him a road test and put him in orientation then sent him home to connect with a trainer. 2 weeks total time. They flew him in from Fla. and paid all his expenses. Depending on how he does I'd imagine he'll have his own truck soon.
I'm not pushing KLLM, just relating what I experienced.
KLLM says 18 days to CDL if you already have a CLP. 22 without. I did it in 14 as I had my CLP, others in my class did it in 13. Others are testing today, 15 to 18 days, they started at the beginning.
