Knight transportation same sex mentor?

Request a female trainer… it would be a near certainty that you would get one for the simple fact companies would like to stay away from the potential legal troubles that occur when you start mixing males with females in the truck as far as training is concerned...

as far as the other stuff that you’ve heard about them allegedly keeping a student out for months I wouldn’t buy it I think somebody just the Bs’ing.

 

I would request a female trainer. Just let them know that you feel uncomfortable about training with a male. It is a reasonable request.

 

I would be uncomfortable training with a male. You seen these guys?

I've been to female DR'S. We are all equal, right?

 

CFI puts female students with female trainers.

Female Drivers
CFI is proud to support female truck drivers.
One of our very own female drivers, Stephanie Klang, was named as an ATA’s America’s Road Team Captain. Stephanie surpassed an incredible milestone of driving over three million safe miles!

 

Yes, there are some unclean folks out there. But maybe her husband doesn't feel comfortable about it either....

 

Why can't you train with your husband? Did you not say you were driving with him already?

 

idk, have you seen them female dump truck drivers. i fill safer with a bro.js

 

I know someone on this board who went to Knight. He wanted to pull cans from a harbor to the big city he lived in. He was told sure we can do that.

After waiting 2-3 weeks for a trainer all they had was a refrigerated trainer. They said go with him. He was then told he couldn’t switch to the Intermodal from reefers. He ended up leaving.

 

Most companies will ask the new driver for their trainer preferences. Gender, pets or not, smoker, crazy or sane. Stuff like that. They do it to try to maximize compatibility in order to minimize trouble. I suspect Knight does that as well given the size of their operation. In your case tell them that a female is non-negotiable (in a polite way). It might take a bit longer to get on a truck, or maybe not. You can also ask the recruiter. They BS, but probably not about that.
