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
