Knight Transportation.............Can't Do it.....

Well well...you know why the insurance co won't accept you??...you have no experience...you continue to act like your entitled to top of the line driving job..you need to get experience first...

 

dude, I'm not the one on here saying I need a job, and that I'm getting low on funds.... The people that I know that can afford to be picky about a job while unemployed are those that live at home/don't pay rent, or mortgages, car notes and the like.

If you had more experience....I'd say more power to you (staying unemployed until the perfect local job comes knocking at your door)...... But because you WOULDN'T (not couldn't) fulfill your obligation at the place YOU CHOSE to get your CDL ....is probably the same reason why folks won't hire you: you have the WRONG MENTALITY.

you fail to realize the time you're wasting when you could be getting the experience YOU NEED (to get the job you'd prefer)

how old are you? (Wondering if you're possibly facing age discrimination)

you have this "I WON'T DO THIS" and "WON'T DO THAT"..... And wonder why you are unemployed. Time to leave the nest for a lil while..... You can do it, you just seem like the type that needs to be forced to....and by the looks of it, being unemployed really isn't a strain on you like it would be for many of us.

Words of wisdom to use at any trucking company...

 

That's what I say too

 

Sound advice

 

Couldn't have said it any better myself... except that my dispatcher also works 1 Sunday (full 8hrs) a month on a rotation... to go along with their other full work week. Yup, always seems better somewhere else, until you get there then it isn't as nice as they said it would be when you get there!

 

Fiddle,
you first started this post back in early February. It is now time to wake up and realize that in this industry experience is what employers want. This is not a job but a Career we have. Jobs are a dime a dozen for anybody
take up. Working in a warehouse is a job, working in a McDonalds is a job working in walmart is a job. All those jobs you can start out with no experience. Here in TRUCKING you need first to obtain a CDL in order to start your CAREER.
Then you need to go with a company that will get you the training you need. The first year is all about training. We all have run into different situations where we learn what to do and not to do in the first year. Why do you think we sometimes do not see the same shipper or receiver sometimes for weeks to months on end? To train us. My first year with Knight is coming to an end as of April 29th. I will have a total of 130,000+ miles under my wheels. After the first year we have the credentials to go anywhere we want with what companies are looking for. Heck alot of companies are now asking for 9 months and some are asking for 6 months over the road experience. They want to make sure you will be able to handle the equipment that they hand you. What other Careers hand you a piece of equipment worth over $100,000 and ask you to take loads worth more then that to and from here and there without the proper training?
