I was referring to the dot inspection being the only one that really mattered in terms of getting dot inspected at a scale house or what not. You won't get csa points for a late knight insp.
If you could improve 1 thing at Knight, what would that be?

As I said, only in trucking is refusing a work assignment allowed. In my previous life as a manager, if an employee refused to do a valid assignment, no matter what day or time or perceived "injustice," that person would be taken off the schedule and sent home.

I refused maybe 3 loads being with Knight for 5 yrs.
Loads that took me away from plans given 2 weeks ahead of time that would put me, as said by others, 'sitting in Fontana yard with no necessities for days w/o an MT that another trucker could have taken but their 'local favorites' in the area were not given!
As said b4 in regards to turning down another load: I had an MRI scheduled in Phx on a Mon morning that was in regards to a work-related injury (torn rotator cuff) and scheduled 3 weeks in advance, where my DM set me up with loads over the weekend that would have gotten me back to Phx Sun night---the return load was 'pulled off' of me Sat by the S.CA dispatcher, I was given (no PP but was put on me) a load up N. CA which I took knowing that bringing that load back to Conagra in Rancho Couc would have left me w/o an MT and stuck in Fontana, out of hours, and no MT to get a load out! I took the Conagra load, but after sitting in Fontana w/no MT, and asking for permission to bobtail back to Phx while I had hours left (I refused running all over L.A. looking for an MT and then being out of hours for a return to Phx), and was turned down, I did bobtail back to Phx having enuf hours to be 'legal' when crossing the AZ scales. Was called in Mon morning b4 my MRI appmt by my DM (who was a 'Knight son') and explained the situation, who just said "Dont do that again." End of conversation......he knew that I was right!
There ARE reasons to refuse a load esp when they sell new drivers with "No Forced Dispatch!"
