    Yes pay starts at .33 per mile, daily or weekly pay options. They do occassionally make mistakes but I've never had a problem getting them corrected.

    Avoid going back east, hard to get good miles back there even on the reefer side. A friend who I used to team with is on the reefer side and they are keeping him busy(2800-3000 miles per week)

    Sidenote to Arsewind: It's one thing to offer personal experience and advice, and the fact you are out of florida explains why you would have had a bad experience with Knight dry van, it's a horrid company to work for on the east coast. However, your four consecutive post spewage leaves little doubt that you are just grinding a personal axe and will cause most people to take what you have to say with a grain of salt.

    Sometimes people wanna hear the truth. Remember there is 3 sides to every story. His, yours and the companies.

    Your going to be alone for 2 to 3 weeks at a time, He'll get 1 day for every 7 he's out. They will likely count anytime at home as a day.
    Example: Home saturday am 7:30 am to Sunday 3:30 pm is 2 days in the trucking world. Important days generaly forget them at best he will probably call and not show up because a dispatcher screwed it up. And believe him, will not be in his control generally speaking short of quitting. If your going to marry a trucker, get your license and go with him.
    He will be driving anywhere they send him. Maybe at best north to south, it is just the way freight runs.

    Good luck

    If I deliver at 0800 on a Friday morning in my hometown and then go home, that is not a day off and I'll still leave Monday morning bright n early NOT Sunday afternoon. Maybe it's my dispatcher, I don't know but that's how it's always been for me. Dispatchers will take all they can get, sure, you just have to stand up to them, provided your an asset to the company they will meet any reasonable demand. I'm nothing special, I just work hard and enjoy my time off.

    Did the reefer side take a starting pay-cut like the dry side? Dry side has gone from .33 to 31 cents a mile.

    When Knight screws the drivers, they usually screw all of them. So, I believe they did cut the pay yet again to 31 cents for all drivers including the reefer company.
