    Fajo...you cannot compare the refrigerated from the dry side at knight they are two separate companies with two separate pay scales with two different operations

    TBH I think both sides should be on even footing. It's one of the things I don't like, Our Dry van brothers need the love also. Plain and simple.

    Edit.
    I also want to add in that I have a good friend out of the Denver Terminal who is a O/O he does better then I do most the time. It can be done tho it takes alot of work and it takes a good relationship with your Terminal/DM

    Aye, That's a whole different topic but I don't mind them if that's what your asking. =) Kind of like Tri Color on the dry side. I will point out I have not seen any difference in Loads on my side, Still the same old customers and the same old freight.

    Kool trans was formed by knight...they openly admitted that it will at some point interfere with knight refrigerated..makes no sense to start another reefer Co when you already have one.. look at there pay..exactly to a tee like knight..

    They also use our Terminals, Shops, Dispatch and Planners. Kind of hard to interrupt something that is planned and dispatched by our terminals. Again I'm just not worried about it. Kool trans was formed to soak up the SLC, UT. Market, It mainly goes after accounts that Knight has lost or cant touch do to "Conflict of interest" with other accounts (hence the "Reasoning" they used to form another Reefer company.)

    Why it is true they are there own company, they are also a experiment and if the experiment fails it will simply be reabsorbed back into Knight. Or they could go the other way and Drop the Knight name and we could all be Absorbed under the Kool trans name. Frankly it dont matter, Knight is Knight.

    Knight is what you make of it. :)

    They treat me decent, yes they have BS but its bs I can tolerate and they seem to be able to tolerate my BS also. Just like any trucking company it has its up and downs. As long as your content with where you are its all that matters.

    be safe out there X if youu have anymore questions dont be afraid to ask.
     
    X-Country Thanks this.

    Well I am out of Atlanta terminal and a dry side driver. I will say that coming out of the squire program, my DM is awesome. As long as I communicate any and all issues, they feed me any and all miles that I can handle. For instance, I went home on a friday night loaded, home saturday and sunday and than worked Monday through Friday. During those 5 1/2 days I ran 2800 miles and only used about 50 hours. The miles and loads are here and it is what you make of it. If you put your heart and and work ethic to good use, than you can make a decent living here.
