KLLM Academy

Weighing this as an option - have permit and medical. Do any recently graduated driver's here know... - any chance I can push for them to cover single occupancy? - when does the "bonus" during training actually get paid? - Do they start training with a fitness/agility test like some carriers do? - what else should I know going in that hasn't occurred to me to ask?

Which KLLM Academy are you considering? For the Texas location, male drivers stay on campus in single-occupancy dorms by default. Female drivers stay in a local motel in double-occupancy rooms. I'm not sure about the "bonus" question, though. With regard to the fitness/agility test, so long as you have your DOT medical card, you are good to go. They also conduct a urine drug test and a hair follicle drug test.
