From just starting out driving to transferring from another company this is the yard that has it all for KLLM. I went to the driver school there and enjoyed the experience. Training was as painless as possible. Upgrading just as easy. I would highly recommend them if you are thinking about getting into truck driving
If I could have put 0 stars, I would have! This company was the worst experience of my life. Please run for the hills!! I was hired and only worked here for two weeks because I could not take anymore. I came on as a team driver that was promised .71 and more than 5000miles combined with my codriver. We never ran over 3000. So we had to split. As teams, the truck is supposed to keep moving, but we sat 3 times in two weeks. We sat so long that my codriver was able to do a 34hr reset and then another time, I was able to do a 34 as well. We kept being forced to take loads that were already late. We would have loads assigned and swapped 3-4 times in one day. We wouldn’t get new fuel routes with the new assignments causing fuel cards to decline when we tried to get fuel. The fuel route is more important than your safety because of discounts. We received a smoker’s truck and I almost passed out and had to ride with the windows down all night. The scent was still there two weeks later. The air in the sleeper went out and was “fixed” twice and it still broke within an hr each time. I had to pay for trailer washes, etc because the card declined at certain places because it wasn’t approved even though we were told to stop. We didn’t receive a starter kit including locks, etc…we kept asking, but never received it because they said the person who assigned those things was out and no one else had access. Dispatch is extremely rude and belittle you because of THEIR mistakes. They call about SWAP OUTS while you are off duty in the sleeper, which is illegal. Our bonuses were put together and taxed. I tried to divide the bonus evenly so I called payroll and they couldn’t tell me what the bonus amount was with the taxes. I could go on and on!!! Stay away if you like organization because everything was unorganized and UNPROFESSIONAL.
This company goes above and beyond I am extremely ecstatic they will push you to your limit and make u achieve your goal ! I learned something new everyday they all are awesome . I’m still smiling as I am typing this if you are looking for a truck driving school KLLM in Mississippi is it ! I am telling you right now this school does not compare to any other truck driving school ! This school is dedicated to safety and dedicated to teach its students in the upmost professional manner possible ! If I could give a 1000 stars I would !
Kllm has a good training program at their school. Its professional and organized. It's starting pay is above average but that comes with a cost if you are a new driver. You will basically get left over runs. After about 4 months of being employed with them the only thing I ever saw was Northeast coast. I averaged about $900 a week. I found out alot of drivers are comfortable with that. I went back to my day job.
They look for a reason to send you home. They found an arrest not even on my record and it was a set up from the cops in LA so it was thrown out of court. I was let go for that and I didn't sit down when we were doing nothing first day second week. Wouldn't recommend this place.
They cut my fuel card off with no explanation got it cut back 8 hours later doing a load to Maytag in Bridgeton, Missouri got rolled by EF-4 tornado South of Hayti,Mo left me stranded in Hayti because they said I didn't exist in their system and when I tried to get hotel after truck was wrecked but once again they said I didn't exist truck should've been a total loss but insurance company wanted to repair 85,000 truck for 60,000 citing trucks were to high it rained in the truck for 2 weeks and was filled with 200 or 300 field mice and rats when I went to recover my belongings . KLLM took my maintenance money and never stopped charging me for the truck payments at any point . I got calls but it was from Doug Leo and Matt Tallent wanting me to rent a truck when I was still in physical therapy I was terminated on March 11th and did not find out until mid April that I was no longer employed with KLLM and I had to call my dispatcher on his personal phone to ask him if I was still employed . I did email upper management with all of my concerns but sadly Doug Leo and Matt Tallent probably didn't think my issues were important enough to even respond. My question was if insurance paid 60,000 in damages for 85,000 Freightliner Cascadia why did you drain my maintenance account and never stop charging me weekly truck payments ....sad situation but I hope my story will help a person considering becoming a LP or future in employee to be able to see the other side of the situation because it's not all peaches and cream
Do not go through this company. They are using a lab that is purposely tampering with samples. Someone who has never done drugs before test has come back positive. We immediately went to another corporate company that does hair samples. Not a small personal company. The test came back negative. Same time frame!!!! We are willing to pay. The only thing we wanted to do was get the name cleared. Just to show them they lied. They won’t even let us pay to prove it. Because they know it was tampered with. If you come back positive just know they are tampering and backing the company that they are using. How do you pass a hair sample test at a Big company but fail it at the small time lab that the company uses that they have a contract with!!! BE CAREfUL THEY ARE MESSING UP REPUTATIONS AND LIVES INSTEAD OF HELPING. He said the lady walked off with his sample and didn’t close it while he was right there. Him being young didn’t know he was supposed to sit there and watch’s now that is his fault! Be careful is all im saying! These company’s of course is gonna back them own selves because they don’t want to be wrong. THEY ARE LIARS!!!
I had a great experience working here.my dispatcher(Chris Haywood)and dm(Oscar pope) were great.just like any other job or in life for that matter you will have some bad days but overall it’s worth it.I was a company driver for 2 years.for about the last 2 I was a trainer.made good money and got home when requested.the only reason I left was because I got my on truck and branched out on my on
Work for kllm was a great opportunity for me. I would still be there if wasn't for personal reasons. if you are looking for a great trucking co.panys they are one of the best.
Awesome place to work great locations don’t fully understand everything but getting there . Hopefully can get a better pay soon. Weird co workers but I got this
There's nothing about KLLM to complain about. Great people, great equipment, straight forward loads and routes. I left because I was asked to redeploy to the middle east on a USG contract, otherwise I would still be there. The only thing I ever raised concern about was the total weekly miles. All-in-all, they're good (average about 2700/wk). It did get a little slow for a while, though. That's just how it goes in this line of work. Anyway, I highly recommend this company, especially if you're a new driver. I graduated from the FFE academy, drove company for FFE for a little while then switched to KLLM as a lease purchase OTR then dedicated driver. Great experience!
Good company to train at. No driver facing camera. Decent home-time. Good equipment but some trailer be in banged up shape because it is a starter company
What is the best part of working at the company? New Equipment , freightliner, Kenworth and Peterbilt trucks that are no more than two years old. What is the most stressful part about working at the company? Payroll being accurate, and administered as advertised. What is the work environment and culture like at the company? Administratively KLLM struggles to meet & support the needs of the drivers… administratively, they tend to pass the buck of responsibility to the drivers, as opposed to taking full accountability for their shortcomings… What is a typical day like for you at the company? Specifically, Transporting goods from point A to point B…
I didn’t do well in lease purchase so I switched to company and did awesome. It was a great experience once I went to the company side. i only left to do local job instead.
Great pics to work. Will get you good miles if you are willing to run. I'm over the road and make great miles when good pay and they always get me home on time
Expect to be away from home for weeks at a time. Good PTO 2 days for every week you work, with max PTO earned being 2 weeks for every 7 weeks worked. I would not advise doing this if you have a family. Great accounts, decent dispatchers.
Their Regional fleet is the only fleet worthwhile because of the guaranteed pay… but you jump when they say jump and run when they say run , no matter what or they will screw you over.
Great place to start your career I’ve worked here almost 3 years plenty of ups and plenty of downs but that’s with every job dedicated accounts are best to get on did not like otr side
Kllm is trucking company out of Jackson Mississippi. I live in Louisiana. If you live 150 miles away from terminal you get to drive truck home. Good company with paid hometime.
Very good trainers. All good people here. Never once had a problem with anything or anyone and trainers (depending on who) can be very involved. They are there to help you and will make sure you get what you need.
What is the best part of working at the company? New trucks. Higher pay per mile. What is the most stressful part about working at the company? Communication. None of the departments talk to one another. What is the work environment and culture like at the company? Drivers are on their own. Dispatch could care less. The shop guys are rude and very unpleasant to be around or ask questions to.
Great dispatch great pay. Only con it takes a while for roadside assistance but it’s expected. Home time pay was favorable for what I needed. Would definitely recommend to new drivers..
The pay is decent and OTR drivers get an extra $200 for every week you stay out on the road, if you stay out for more than 2 weeks. Regular day shift dispatchers are pretty cool. Night dispatch, not so much.
Run!! They will work you until it’s negative hours on your clock. They don’t care about your emergencies! All they care about is getting to a load on time
Treated fairly good dispatch plenty miles.. insurance is not the best best is decent..very good working relationship with employees and looks after their employees
Work was good when the rail yards are busy. Unfortunately they usually aren’t anymore. . . But that’s just the way it goes I guess. .
I used to love working for them as a trainer. When I told them to stop running me short distance teams, they continued to do so. The load was late and they stated that I was teaching my student bad habits....The load was late from the get go, before it was even assigned to me. The Vp of operations then proceeded to tell the training department that I was teaching students bad habits. I tried to talk to the training department and explain what was going on, but they apparently didn't want to talk to me. before this incident I loved working there. But that incident broke my spirit with the company, so I moved on from there.
Just trying to see the reviews. But i attended KLLM a while back. They was ok. Good start up company for first year drivers. Other than that not good for a careeer
