I started school on 1/22/18.I took my tests here and got my CDL today 2/8/18.It is an accelerated course in which you are given all necessary tools to start your trucking career . I have 3 days of orientation then I go out on the road with my I will trainer for about 6 weeks . After my 6 weeks I'll return for a skills test(not 100% sure yet)then I head back to Fl. to drive a regional route with FFE (9 days out 4 days off) , I am very satisfied with the instructors and training I received . I'm excited about my new career and ready to start hauling goods across America . Safety , safety ,and safety . KLLM is a great school you can't beat the price (free-1 year commitment) they feed you 3 meals a day and you stay at the school in 1 person rooms . Overall my experience here was very positive , I highly recommend it , Shout out to Steve , Kenny , Jim , Tom , Don , Dave , my driving and range instructors , Cindy(my recruiter) , Candy and all the staff at KLLM(cooks,janitorial,the ladies who kept up my room) I apologize if I missed anyone . I will never forget this.
Thank you,
Scott Butler

Usually refers to a driver hauling freight within one particular region of the country. You might be in the "Southeast Regional Division" or "Midwest Regional". Regional route drivers often get home on the weekends which is one of the main appeals for this type of route.
