KLLM was the first nationwide, temperature-controlled
carrier to utilize satellite communications
fleet wide. All
KLLM trucks,
as well as all lease trucks, are linked to our
Jackson, Mississippi, headquarters through
a satellite communications network.
This system allows for monitoring the status and
location of every KLLM truck on the road at any
given time. It also provides for a two-way
communication link between drivers and terminal
personnel. This system has allowed us to enhance
our service to our customers, our drivers and
the entire KLLM system.
KLLM, in keeping with the latest technology,
also utilizes Electronic Data Interchange,
one of the most valuable tools used by the
transportation industry. This technology allows
KLLM to transmit and receive information
electronically. EDI covers everything including
billing, status notification, notification of
receipt of payment, bills of lading, load
tendering, service and performance standards and
third-party messaging.
