    So they're finally announcing it publicly huh? This has been in the works for about a year or better now.

    I thought Western was part of the Black Hills trucking, SMX outfit.

    Or is it a different western?

    I know Western bought out SMX a little while back. From what I gather, Knight loaned them money to stay afloat, and ended up with majority shares of stock....

    That's hilarious that as Knight is receiving 1.4 million in consulting fee's from a struggling competitor, their drivers are begging for a measly 1800 miles a week. That leaves more time to scrutinize pay stubs to see how much the driver gave to the cause of creating yet another mammoth behemoth mega junk carrier that exists to only please the stockholder.

    Why do people drive for Knight ?

    Think about this. It is not just that company. But you did ask a good question.
