KLLM Transport CDL Training Week One Review Lancaster, Texas.

Going to the FFE/KLLM Transport CDL School in Lancaster, TX. Here is my week one review.

[@tylerblake4028]

Great video good information I’m going to look into this company now

[@stevesliff]

Thanks for stopping by.

[@charlesmartin2903]

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.

[@tahlikdavis5450]

Kllm pay for your training ?

[@stevesliff]

Thanks for stopping by. Still a great facility.

[@stevesliff]

You get $250 half way through and $250 when you graduate. Then it's $800 a week till you upgrade.

[@charlesmartin2903]

@stevesliff wow. We didn't get that. I believe it was $475 a week when was OTR with trainer. No bonuses.

[@charlesmartin2903]

@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.

[@stevesliff]

And good luck on Monday! I should be back next weekend to go with a trainer. Come say hi.

[@paulmcbain3233]

Very nice good luck how long are you out training.

[@stevesliff]

Hello and thanks for watching. I am half way through my Phase 2 or (240) training. I will be posting my review here in a day or so.

[@omarbravo739]

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

[@stevesliff]

Sorry for the late response. Hope you started and are enjoying it.

[@julian6088]

i keep calling but they say that lancaster academy is closed and they don’t know when it will open.

[@stevesliff]

Yeah. They review it every month. Keep trying. Hang in there.

[@funkmeyer4614]

When you are in truck with instructor, and later with mentor, are they playing music?

[@stevesliff]

Yes. Lucky I have an instructor that loves 80's Hair Bands like I do. Blasting White Snake, Motley, Poison, etc.... All day long!

[@stevo6891]

I was debating on KLLM, Roehl, or Schneider

[@davionbanks883]

I’m thinking KLLM

[@stevesliff]

I looked at all three as well. I chose KLLM for my personal goals.

[@stevesliff]

@@stevo6891 looked at it. Did not like the 6 months team training.

[@stevo6891]

@@stevesliff yeah same here

[@CakedadyCakedaddy]

How long it took to go there when u first call?

[@stevesliff]

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.

[@tahlikdavis5450]

@@stevesliffdo they train felons & hire them ?

[@stevesliff]

@@tahlikdavis5450 that would be a recruiter question. I am not sure on that. sorry.

[@ddstanfield9259]

Do they train only automatic???

[@stevesliff]

Yes….. only autos here. Thanks for watching.

[@gonzalezmichael52]

Do they drug test before you get there or while you’re there?

[@stevesliff]

They will drug test you on the first day as well as the following week.

[@gonzalezmichael52]

Are they both hair follicle, or just hair follicle first week and urine the next?

[@stevesliff]

@@gonzalezmichael52 Correct. Hair follicle on Day one and then Urine on the next round.

[@SSDirk1976]

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.

[@stevesliff]

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.

[@SSDirk1976]

Great feedback Sir and keep up the great videos - Thank you @@stevesliff
