    If you come to the back of the yard alongside the body shop, you’ll see the same new Volvo’s tore up. It’s a vicious cycle here.

    Sounds like a case of “you get what you pay for” and/or Knight’s low hiring standards.

    Lack of experience, very little common sense, plain stupidity.

    She meant it doesn’t make business sense for the mothership, but that’s why I left Abilene years ago, piss poor planning.

    On a positive note, their preplanning has gotten much better, at least for me. The rest of it? Poor.

    You don’t live in the same universe as the other drivers at Abilene.
