I went through this training when it was still FFE. Way different now from then. Wow. I left the company when it was taken over by KLLM. Wish you all the best.
@stevesliff after we got our own truck it was only 28 cents a mile and I stayed out 2 1/2 months at a time. Then KLLM got them and new driver managers to and I went to about 400 a week. That was it for me. I miss the people but not the pay.
Can you explain the baggage policy? I start class Monday but I’m not sure how I’m supposed to take clothes if I’m not allowed to take anything but a clear bag? Or does that only apply to the classroom area
Great video Sir - In 2024 I am looking to start a career in the trucking industry - 1 question though...are you getting paid while in Training? we all know bills do not stop no matter what and I don't know if anyone can go a month without any income coming in is why I ask.
Thanks for stopping by. In the academy you don’t get paid. You will receive $200 halfway through and then $200 upon graduating. After that is $800 per week until you upgrade to your own truck. Hope that helps.
Hello. Thanks for reaching out. I called on the 7th of August and started class on the 31st of August. The only delay was I had to give my employer a two week notice. Classes start every Monday. So after the application and talking to a recruiter, it takes about 3-4 days to do the initial MVR and Background check. Then it’s off to school if you pass that. Good luck.
Thanks, Steve. You answered everything I needed to know.
Glad to help! Thanks for stopping by!

Kllm pay for your training ?
Thanks for stopping by. Still a great facility.
You get $250 half way through and $250 when you graduate. Then it's $800 a week till you upgrade.
@stevesliff wow. We didn't get that. I believe it was $475 a week when was OTR with trainer. No bonuses.

When you are in truck with instructor, and later with mentor, are they playing music?
Yes. Lucky I have an instructor that loves 80's Hair Bands like I do. Blasting White Snake, Motley, Poison, etc.... All day long!

Sorry for the late response. Hope you started and are enjoying it.
Do they drug test before you get there or while you’re there?
They will drug test you on the first day as well as the following week.
Are they both hair follicle, or just hair follicle first week and urine the next?
@@gonzalezmichael52 Correct. Hair follicle on Day one and then Urine on the next round.
