How much do/did YOU make working for knight?

Im sorry didn't mean to hurt your feelings.
You ought to talk to a recruiter. You'll be making 100 for orientation and 400 a week for training. That's all I know.

 

The easiest way to look at it is just to plan on 2400 miles per week at what your pay is going be. .30 x 2400 - $720 gross per week(or 7 days out running from Sun-Sat). You may get more miles or you may get less. I averaged $900 a week for dedicated run to LA and back twice a week with weekends off. But there was ALOT of work behind the scenes to make everything fall into place. I did that for a year and a half before I just got burned out from all the free work I did to try and please Knight and the Customer. I think I averaged 42k-45k But I knew the freight lanes really well and had a GREAT dispatcher and I didn't mind going to Cali.

I knew a few guys who did the 4 on/4 off and they loved it, but they were all older guys either retired or semi(no pup intended) retired

 

knight will work with you on your schedule and running area. been with them 7 years. i run everything south of i-40 out of the katy,tx terminal. last years take home was a little over 42,000. not much for the time i spent away from home. but, on par with with other trucking companies as company driver.

 

My dawg.

the scale now works like this. 0-1oo they give you a P.O. number for your trip sheet.
100-200 miles .42
200-300 miles .39
300-400 miles .37
400-500 miles .35
+500 miles .33

as of may 2013.

just left there end of may. well, a good week was like $800 . before tax
an average week was like $700 .
there insurance prices are terrible. $36 for one person. a week. that is just the medical ins. so you might net $500 a week if you are lucky. and they will make you work pretty hard for it. a lot of garbage loads. literally. and hay. then you can sweep all that #### out your trailer "for free!"

 

How much should a driver with 12 years OTR Experience be making with Knight running a simple 2400 mile home on weekends schedule??? What I understood from orientation & what my check say is different.

 

Experienced drivers should be making .42 to .52 cents a mile. If you are on a dedicated or regional runs that price would be fixed and not based on the length of the run.

 

Does anyone ever get the fuel bonus? I don't idle and I cannot seem to make the target to get the #### thing. Seems like the "carrot in front of the mule" trick to me.
