    To update this thread, In the last 3-weeks I have emailed, called and even tried to reach out to current Knight drivers, and I have received zilch, nada, nothing in response. Silence can speak volumes. Right now, Danny Herman is my carrier of choice!

    This kind of maneuver is not unusual with some carriers. My dad has been pulling 53 ft trailers since '86 and he pursued an opportunity with a particular carrier. They wanted him to "train" with a guy that had been driving for 6 months. He said no thanks and moved on.
     
    Crusader66 and DRAGON64 Thank this.

    Yet I keep getting emails from them saying to contact them, only to get "crickets"

    I drove for them for many years, with the current state of affairs at Knight. Trust me when I say those "crickets" are saving your arse.

    I just watched Sinnizter's video, and he too, is leaving Knight. That makes 4 YouTubers that have quit in just about a months time. Something must be changing there to make 4 company "cheerleaders" jump ship so quickly...
     
    SHOJim Thanks this.

    Changing companies seems to be standard operating procedure in this industry.
