KLLM maintains a
fleet of company-owned tractor/trailers and employs many owner operators. We
operate approximately 1150 company-owned tractors, 400 owner operator
tractors and 2400 refrigerated trailers. Tractor specifications change
periodically to satisfy driver needs and cost control and to keep pace
with the newest technology.
Regular maintenance is
performed on our equipment in the company's facilities, which
provides for superior equipment reliability and cost control
throughout the fleet. Our enroute repair department is
manned 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to handle equipment
problems that may come up while trucks are in en route. A
network of over 2000 service facilities is used to ensure prompt
repair and to minimize the delays caused by mechanical problems.
As a technology leader in the
transportation industry, KLLM has one of the largest tractor fleets
in the United States equipped with anti-lock breaks.
Our DOT recordable accident ratio averages .25
accidents per million miles driven. This is achieved primarily by the
elimination of jackknife accidents, caused from skidding.
Anti-lock brakes prohibit tractors from skidding and improve our
drivers' abilities to control their vehicles.
The anti-lock brake system helps protect our customers' freight
while in transit. With load locks in place and anti-lock brakes
on tractors, our customers' freight arrives in the best possible
condition every time.
Temperature-controlled trailers are available.
All trailers are equipped with diesel-powered refrigeration units.
The outside height of each unit is 13'6", and the door height is 104".
The inside length of each unit is 52'.
The maximum cargo weight is 45,500 lbs. (including any loading materials). Average tare weight is 15,900 lbs.
All refrigeration units are flush-mounts with bulkheads inside.
All T/C trailers are equipped with airflow chutes.
