I just got my Class-A CDL today I love the instructors here they are so amazing, they give you everything you need to succeed as long as you listen and pay close attention 🥰

Great school, The instructors all there want to see you succeed, as long as you ask for help when you need it, they are always willing to help. They had pretty good food 3 times a day all 7 days a week, and their dorm rooms for the guys were very clean. This was a great place for me to get my CDL and I would recommend it to anyone wanting their CDL. You may need to be willing to study sometimes, and to try your best, but as long as you do, you’ll have your CDL. Great place!

All these negative reviews are coming from people who don’t shut up and listen and learn! Yes this program is really fast paced, but IT CAN BE DONE! Just listen to your instructors, if you have questions ASK! Also on the range practice makes perfect, if you’re struggling call an instructor up to the truck they WILL help you! Big shoutout to my boys Jo Jo, The General, Kenny The Cracker (lol), Josh, Barry, Kevin, Mr. C and Tom for all the wisdom and advice for this experienced driver! To Kandi Brooks a big THANK YOU! You know how to run a show!

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Brittany Trichel | Oct 28, 2018
Lucky XL | Oct 28, 2018

It's Monday thru Saturday and options to practice after class. As,a group we would practice on Sundays too

How much is the class , And are the trucks automatic or manual

Daniel Galindo | Oct 27, 2021
Brandon Burke | Oct 27, 2021

The trucks are automatics that you test with. If accepted and you sign a year contract with the company the school is paid off over the year. So you can potentially pay nothing out of pocket.

Apply on the website and talk to a recruiter

Yes I'm interested in becoming a truck driver and kllm is one of the company's I'm looking at. I have a felony record for 3 dwi's. The last one was about 7 years ago. I have been off papers about 2 years. Can I still become a trucker with this.

Vincent Sims | Oct 28, 2019
Tracy BossLady Greene | Oct 28, 2019

Everyone is different. The go case by case but it is an awesome school. Talk to your recruiter. I'm pretty sure you can get in as long as you are 100% honest like frfr because they double search n will find out everything.

what if u have a felony from 20 yrs ago , can u still drive

glenda “Baby” lumpkin | Oct 28, 2018
lisie m | Oct 28, 2018

That would be a recruiting question. It differs, depends on the felony.

I just found out about this AWESOME opportunity! My only concern is that I have a felony from 18 years ago and a small possession of marijuana( $500. Fine) charge from 7 years ago. Please let me know if that disqualifies this chance to attend ?

You have a option of receiving half via gift card during week 2 of the academy and the other half after orientation before you go out for 6 weeks with a trainer. During the 6 weeks you're out or are waiting for a trainer you'll get paid.

Do they accept felons ?

Cynthia Boyter | Jan 30, 2022

Case by case and off paper.

I got a question? Does kllm allow you to take the truck home during home time. The reason I’m asking is because I live in Waco Tx, my wife and I share one vehicle, I don’t want to leave her with no vehicle, and she don’t like driving on highways.

William Harris | Dec 1, 2021
Jerome Green | Dec 1, 2021

I really don't know the answer to the question. However, you can call them to find out. I am just starting in school.

Yes for your upgrade 6 weeks or longer depending on if your trainee feels you can upgrade in that 6 weeks, after you upgrade you have the choice on when you start driving your own truck. Just heads up though you do not get paid anymore after yo upgrade and you tell them you want a break, you will not get paid during that break timeframe you tell.

It is not paid until you go otr with a trainer. You do get a 250 bonus the 2nd week of school and another 250 bonus once you complete orientation (ONLY IF you came in with a permit) No upfront cost for anythiny. If you dont complete your full year after they hire you, you will be paying out of pocket. P.S. i got my cdl through this program 4/22/2019. Great school

I had my CDL per-mit from Columbus Ohio but it expired..the DMV said I can't try for my CDL A per-mit till 2020 so can I even come to kllm in Texas to obtain my CDL A???

Joseph Ball | Oct 28, 2019
Stacy Runyon | Oct 28, 2019

You need to contact Dept. Of Public Safety. I think think it's the key that you just need to transfer your license to a texas license and go test for the class a permit but you need to contact DPS about that. Not trashing this place cause they helped me get my permit but 4 days away from my test for my cdl they kicked me out for something really stupid. They kicked out a bunch of classmates for unspecific reasons. I've talked to too that went on the road for their training and they quit. Look around at various companies doing exactly what this one offers and make the best decision for yourself. I came to San Antonio and am doing quit well now.

Hi, I have my CDL but need to learn to backup strait and into a dock, can I go on saturdays and/or sundays one or two hours what would it cost me.

Henry Aguirre | Oct 28, 2018
Kimberly LaKience | Oct 28, 2018

The academy is Mon-Sat. They wont just instruct you on Saturday. They will probably make you do the full academy at 4000 for a year commitment. They teach you to straight back but you learn how to do a 45 and 90 degree angle back in actual 6 week training. You might be better off finding an owner operator and working with them to enhance your backing. Best of luck to you!!!
