Anybody doing that Knght Reefer run from Phoenix to Denver CO ? I would like to know how is it working, is that good miles? Home time?
Thanks. -
Anyone run out of the Katy, Tx terminal and give me info?
-
How much do they pay for stops? What about Layover? Dock detention really works? They said you have "non forced" dispatch, is that true?
-
Detention? $10/hr after 2 hrs providing you arrived on time. But good luck getting it! I have about a 50% success rate in getting paid what I am owed.
Non-forced dispatch? yup, they dont force you to take any load, but... There will be consequences for turning anything down. "Sorry, it's the only load we have. Call me tommorrow ." and if you think the 1st load you turned down was bad, the next one they "offer" you (after you sit for 24+ hrs) probably will be worse!Braazooka Thanks this. -
DNA Mach. I tried to reply to your PM but I don't have enough posts to allow me to do so. If there is a way to get with you and I go to Knight I will use you as a reference but need to start deciding soon on who to go with.

I am considering going through CDL training at my local community college, going through Knight's Squire training, then driving for Knight.
I am particularly interested in Knight's seven days on, seven days off program, as I am 56 years of age, semi-retired, and I want to stay that way.
I live near Las Vegas. On other, older threads here, I have read some pretty negative comments about the Las Vegas terminal.
I will appreciate any insight and advice about working the 7/7 out of the Las Vegas terminal that anyone posts here.
If, instead, I were to decide to be a regular full-time driver out of the Las Vegas terminal, how good are they about home time? If I could be home for two days every week, I think I could be OK with full-time driving.
Thanks. -
i'm now on the 7 days on/7 days off thing. it's not entirely 1 week on. sometimes you'll be out for 2 or three weeks at a time. you WILL also be slip-seating. do yourself a favor by packing lightly. sometimes you'll get a truck that does 66mph. other times you'll get a slow truck that does 61.5mph or 62. it depends on what's available by the time you're coming back on.
