Coming back to Knight

LOL

 

Ok, Even this one made me chuckle. Why drivers can and do get bad DM's that is far from the issue at Knight. Not even the best DM can fix the issues currently going on there. Not to mention DM's have NO control over loads anymore, that's all on the load planners. The DM is a middle man that really cant do crap in the grand picture.

As for the miles, Ill be honest good luck, Knights problem right now is they are bleeding accounts. The attitude of this customer is more important then that one on top of not being able to service most of their own loads on-time leads to a company that cant promise crap. They just lost there main Anheuser account out of Fort Collins, CO. because somehow they managed to fail at drop and hook.

I wish you luck.

 

2000-2500/week is good? Hopefully that's home every weekend with a full 2 days off

 

I've never driven for Knight, only Swift and I would like to get hired with them out of their Phoenix terminal. I don't have a TWIC card or hazmat though. Looking to do this in April when I get into town.

 

What about Kold Trans which is a division of Knight? Does it seem OK?

 

I tried to get on with Knight before I even started in CDL... I went to the office in FL to talk to someone and liked what I saw. It was hard to get calls returned or advice about what to do next... I completed CDL School and still couldn't get a response. I wasn't even looking at other companies at the time... That was in FL so I though maybe they just weren't hiring for that state and just wasn't telling me...

So after CDL School, we then moved to NC, contacted the local office after we got settled in and again... Not returning calls etc. still wasn't looking into any other company... Ok, they just don't want a mature second career guy with clean records... No problem.

I looked around and found my current company... And you guessed it... The day after I started I finally got a call from them... And still get an email now and then...

Now I am thanking the Good Lord above that I dodged that bullet... Whew!!!

 

I'm seeing alot of Kold Trans pulling Knight tlrs as of late and vice vs, when I left Knight Kold Trans was not doing that well and was heavily relying on Knight for day to day.

 

If you plan on going to work for the Phx Terminal Reefer or Trans you will get screwed, It is by far the biggest sewer pit of the entire company. This could also be why they moved Corp part of Knight to its own building 15 miles away from the terminal they also made a point to make sure there was NO truck parking to the corp offices.

 

I have a CDL issued out of PA, but I live overseas when I'm not driving, so Phoenix is just a jump off point for me to get hired on with a company, did it 4 times with Swift in the past, but am ready for a different company. I don't care what I pull, as long as I can get driving as soon as I get off the plane. Every day I'm not driving costs me a hotel room and rental car. I've never done reefer, but am not against going out a week or so with a trainer to learn it. Seems to have the longest length of haul these days or slow freight and a no growth economy.
