KLLM LISTENS TO DRIVER REQUESTS, ANNOUNCES NEW PAY PACKAGE

Richland, Miss. — Continuing a tradition of exceptional commitment to their drivers, KLLM Transport Services announced a brand new pay package that will go into effect on May 1, 2007, as a response to welcome opinions from its driving force.
This new package, which includes several exciting changes across the entire pay scale, is just one way KLLM hopes to communicate to its drivers that their voices were heard, and their concerns were taken to heart.

Under KLLM’s new plan, a company driver can expect a generous starting pay of $.34 per mile, and teams can expect to start out at up to $.51 per mile. Owner operators will also benefit from the changes and can expect to bring in $.92 per mile, plus paid reefer fuel.

Aside from the incredible increases in pay rates, KLLM has a few other incentives that will help give drivers even more of an opportunity for success: tuition reimbursement for training school graduates, a $1,000 referral bonus, a quarterly productivity bonus, currently paid out to an average of 38% of KLLM’s drivers, plus all the other great benefits that have been a staple of their package to provide for their drivers.

With the increase in freight as the summer months approach, drivers expressed their thoughts on pay within the company. KLLM listened to their opinions and, with this new pay package, has taken action to ease any worries or concerns. Kirk Blankenship, Director of Recruiting for KLLM, believes introducing this new pay package is an exceptional way to show their drivers how much they are valued. “We want our drivers to know that they are the life force of this company and we truly appreciate what they do,” Kirk stated. “What better way to do that than by listening to what they have to say and responding to those needs?”
