You are right about the complainers. They will post before someone who is happy!! Hang in there Steve! Freight is slow because, there are still more trucks than freight available. It will take time for balance!

[@stevesliff]

Thank you for the kind words. I try to always be real. I am still excited for the future..... Thanks for the support.

[@DJPardoACP]

Loads not been ready, appointment times, early arrivals, big issue. Need better scheduled loads.

[@jl909-nr5vx]

There are always going to be ups and downs in trucking...the nature of things.

[@Austin.8150]

Do tyson account

[@stevesliff]

I have heard that. Have to look into it.

I am here to calm your mind. Call me Daddy just like our good friend jay Canall.

Slow trucking confirms that the economy is still in a recession. I appreciate the videos. I can deal with the slow trucking days.

[@stevesliff]

Well said. Thanks for stopping by.

[@chrisweathington5042]

Been watching your videos lately. I'm thinking about going to the FFE CDL TRAINING. I already have my CDL but I stop driving for personal reasons. And it has been over two years since I got my medical card renewed. Now I have to start all over again it sucks but what can I do. I live in Corpus Christi as well. But I have to do it to get back on the road. And your videos have been helping me to make the decision or not. Take care and stay safe on the road. God bless

[@stevesliff]

Nice. Keep pushing and get back out there! Keep us posted and God Bless you as well. Thank you.

[@pridemizzle1565]

I’m a solo company driver at KLLM and I really have had very few bad weeks with the company. Maybe I have a good dispatcher I dunno. It’s possible those complainers aren’t doing well because of their bad attitude.

[@stevesliff]

Thanks for the validation. It really is not bad here. Thanks for watching. Say Hi if you see me.

[@MrCountrycuz]

Are you an OO or a company driver. If I have no bills at home except utilities,, how well can I do as a lease operator? I have been driving since 2006.

[@stevesliff]

I am on a lease OTR. I will have more of an average in a couple of more settlements. I am only about 6 weeks into the lease.

[@Btf.Damon1]

I’m about to be 90 days sober June 16th. I stay in Jackson Mississippi, I look forward to going to the 22Day program at KLLM. I just turned 23 in March. I appreciate your videos 💯. Hope I’ll be able to follow your blueprint. I really need this opportunity to work out for me. I’ll love to start off an Otr company driver. I will definitely stay down for the Grind

[@jermainepryor7777]

They do hair test so it go past 90 days

[@Btf.Damon1]

[@Btf.Damon1]

I hope

[@will_i_am_legendary]

​@Btf.Damon1 Even though they only go back 3 months...I would recommend waiting another month or so...just to be safe. If you fail chances are you'll never be able to work for them at all in the future

[@stevesliff]

I see folks have helped you out. That's great! Congrats on the Sobriety. That is something to be proud of. You got this! Thanks for the support. Reach out to my email if you ever need support.

[@DanielJohnson-ot8wj]

Don’t get frustrated buddy. My wife and I team drive and we’ve been doing a bunch of sitting too. We sat in Ellensburg, Wa for 2 days waiting for a reload. Finally got one to Cali and then from Cali to Florida. Freight is just slower for some reason lately. Hopefully the summer will perk things up soon.

[@stevesliff]

Thanks for the support and validation. I am excited for the future.

[@OTRHandTeam]

Hey Steve, Love the videos! We're a husband and wife team thinking about coming onboard at KLLM. Any advice you can share with us?

[@stevesliff]

Just received your email. Thanks. I will respond. Thanks for the support!

[@OTRHandTeam]

@@stevesliff Thanks Steve!

[@charlescontreras4135]

Nice backing job, I think I would've handled it like you did, I tend to be cautious. They trained you well! Your attitude is great, sir. I agree there's too much negativity out there. I see it a lot where I work at, and that's at a rehab center. To me it's not worth getting stressed out. Hopefully I'll be taking those steps soon and get myself back on the road. I always found it kinda relaxing. Like they say, if you love your job then it won't feel like work. Anyway, keep up the good work, stay safe, and I'm looking forward to your videos.

[@stevesliff]

Thank you for the comments and support. Yes, do it and get back out here. The only thing I do not like is being away, but we make it work at home. Otherwise, this is some of the most fun I have had and have been given life back.

[@charlescontreras4135]

@@stevesliff will do my best to get going. The only problem with being a little older yet still dashing is having to keep doctor appointments. But I'll figure it out. Take care!

[@will_i_am_legendary]

How long after applying did it take you to actually get into the academy? I saw someone say it takes 2-3 months.

[@deathx1030]

@@will_i_am_legendary after applying it only should take 1 week at most

[@stevesliff]

@@will_i_am_legendary It only took me three weeks and 2 days from my first call to waking into the first day of class. I would think it depends on how full the classes are and how far booked out. But the background and offer letter process will go quick.

[@philosophicaltrucker9279]

Im in reefer too and ive been sitting a lot more as well. For reference, Ive had a reset virtually every week since may before all that Id probably get a reset in once a month unless i took hometime. Its not KLLM its the industry as a whole is shit right now. Too much capacity for the volume of freight out there.

[@stevesliff]

Thanks for your view and thank you for stopping by.

[@RedRedred-ld4pb]

Don't complain

[@DealerBTC]

I'd hate to see you give up on KZbin. I'd like to see you collaborate with other channels and get your name out there so that you can grow your subscribers a lot quicker. You're a good man. Good luck

[@stevesliff]

Thank you for the support. No plans on quitting. Gotta grow, grow and grow!

I drive doing deliveries from grocery warehouse to stores, our work has started to pick up slightly so maybe it will start picking up for you OTR guys

Thank you for the positive vibes and stopping by.

[@dpfontenot2558]

Steve, do they pay for break down and layover? While waiting to be unloaded

[@stevesliff]

They do have both. Layover- Unloaded and available for 24 HR. Breakdown is classed as Extended Layover.

[@eddiemestre7478]

Hey! Steve have a question for you I been out of trucking for 8 years and thinking of getting back into the game and been looking at different companies and thinking KLLM but wanted to no when you started with KLLM did you start solo or you had to be a team driver because was thinking of applying but they keep saying teaming

[@stevesliff]

Thanks for the watch... I started solo. I am not expert, but I hear teams are struggling just as much, if not more at the moment. Keep me posted on what you decide.

[@eddiemestre7478]

@@stevesliff ok! I will just wanted to make sure because the recruiter said would have to team with someone and I see the nightmares tat happens with team drivers

[@DJPardoACP]

Just replying to a comment here: It doesn’t have nothing to do with Politics Parties, I’m pretty sure Brokers and dispatchers will vote Republican and will keep taking money away from drivers. It’s always been like that it’s our endless fight .

[@foxtrot684]

Welcome to, 'Make America Great Again'... Democrat version.

[@stevesliff]

LOL. So true

[@ojerico6097]

Have nothing to do with Democrats or Republicans economy issues are a lot deeper than a political parties shit was getting bad during trump last year we faced a recession under bush now when something is wrong and democrats are in charge yall want to blame everything on them
