“These drivers are the best that KLLM and our industry have to offer,” said Vincent Schott, Vice President of Safety and Information Services. “It takes approximately eight to 10 years of accident-free driving for a person to reach the million-mile mark. We greatly appreciate the professionalism and commitment these drivers have made to our company and offer them our continued love and support as they continue their KLLM career.”

To recognize their great accomplishment, KLLM presented each driver with a ring, a leather garment bag, a leather jacket, a cap and million-miler attire with million-mile logos. In addition, KLLM equips each million-miler truck with special decals.
