Detention is done thur Macro's on the Zonar, tho most port loads have a "Window" time so like be there between 8-5. Detention would not apply to that load until 2 hours after 5 at the end of the window. Detention was $12 a hour last I was there.
Breakdown is 100$ a day starts after 24 hours of being broke down, same with layover. Alot of that tho is left up to the DM as he has to put thur those requests to upper management to get them approved.
Minimum wage means nothing in trucking, they are exempt. You can make zero for being out a full day and the truck not rollling.

Are they still buying Volvo's or is it all Cascadia's and pro-stars?. I understand from reading elsewhere no APU's but hardwired inverters? I assume they are going to all automatics like so many other mega's.
-
I also understand they have bonus program safety, productivity, mileage. Are these bonuses actually achievable, or is it all smoke and mirrors? ( sorry you didn't quite makes the miles loads, or MPG this 1/4) I'm figuring around 2300 miles per week Long beach/LA to PHX and back does that sound about right?

Fuel is #### near impossible without cheating the metrics, if you can get shown the tricks it can be achieved without killing your self. Refeer side has a huge advantage to this as we have flat ways to get around the way they calculate it.
Performance can be hit but with how there 2500 miles for all program is going right now its hard enough to get enough miles to hit the 1cpm maker.
Safety used to be the given one all you had to do was take 2 safety tests and not hit #### to get it. They changed this now it includes. Pretrip, Driver score, Ontime Delivery, Tire failures, Damage / accidents, Truck services (This ones a ##### because if you miss one service by 1 mile you lose your bonus) Tire Air Pressures, On road ready checks and a crap ton of other ######## tied to the cam.Last edited: Jan 18, 2017
TB John Thanks this. -
But dont expect that from your trainer, most of them out there I have met are either scum of the earth kind of people (making there trainee take the trainers crap bucket out and empty kind of person) or so broke they were having issues finding food them selves. I really have no love for most of the trainers I have ran across in my time, so please excuse me if I come off bitter toward them.
Edit.
As for the law
Here is a older thread that has some good info in it, it might have you might find what your looking for.

Does Knight own their own container and intermodal chassis?

I figured the containers belonged to which ever shipping company they hauled for. It was the chassis and their condition that I was concerned about. I've read plenty of stories about the terrible condition a lot of the chassis at the shipping companies were in. Deplorable ( I like that word) in a lot of cases.
It looks like they keep the tractors in good shape, the dry van trailers, maybe not so much? Or am I just taking into stock too much what I've read on-line?
