    If anything the guy should have taken his own life... and if anything anymore Phoenix now has control over everybody for the most part in Phoenix is the reason for the Shady crap going on like the payroll theft... I'm also very shocked that it took this long for something like this to happen at any Knight facility considering their long history

    The people there we're generally very cool with the drivers that I worked with that are still working there because I left a little over a year ago... The big issue is what corporate brings down on some of these terminals like stealing payroll that's what pisses the drivers off now I know for people in that office personally that are still there better that are very good to the drivers so I guess we'll see what comes out of this

    I worked out of the Katy Terminal in 2011... My dispatcher was Lonnie, and he treated me well. Pay was low, benefits were decent, but I was home every weekend for 48hrs. My guess? Guy failed a UA, realized his career was over, and decided to take out the safety guy who canned him.

    Bottom feeder companies such as this are scum. They cheat drivers out of their wages. They expect drivers to perform certain work for free.
    That being said, I don't condone violence against anyone. Who knows why this guy was fired? It doesn't give him the right to do what he did.
    Like other posters have said, it is surprising this type of stuff doesn't happen more often.
