I hired out for kllm in 2007. Left colton ca. To load in santa fe springs ca. The truck broke down in industry ca. And had to be towed to freightliner in fontana. I picked up the truck 4 days later, loaded in rancho cucamonga ca. To deliver in tracy ca. It still didn't run right. Iconsider myself lucky to have made it over the grapevine. I started hearing athumping noise.By the time i arrived in tracy, this piece of junk was shaking like it had the flu. Didnt want to back up at all. Finally unloaded, my f.M. Sent me to freightliner in stockton.
After staying ther waiting for repairs that couldn't be made, i was sent to a motel for the night. Next morning, back at freightliner, i was imformed of the repairs need and they were waiting for authorizatinon from kllm.
At 1430 kllm called my cell, telling me freightliner was ripping them off. Take the truck to the detroit shop in west sacramento. Oooookkkk. As i crossed the county line the truck stopped dead on the 5 fwy. Called a tow truck, towed it to west sacramento. Arrived at closing time, shop said i could not stay in the truck cause they lock up. Called kllm for approval for a motel, which was refused. Kllm left me standing on the street, in the dark, would not get me a ride into town. I had been imformed this truck would be here for one week.
I called my husband in yucaipa ca. To come to sacramento to pick me up. Waiting on the streed in an industrial area until 2.. A.M... To this day i have never heard from kllm. They completely forgot about me. They also for got to remburise me $80.00 for the motel room in stockton. They forgot about the six day breakdown pay, $100.00 a day. Fpr six days. And kllm also forgot to pay me $142.00 for the load i delivered.
The really sad part of this is that a driver has no recourse against a company from mississsippi. I hope these low-livered snakes have a good life.
