Knight Transportation

viva la me hi co. now open for business south of the border, knight tspt and usexpress as they hire the great 10cpm non speaking non qualified amigo's who we do not blame, to drive the american truckers wages to 15cpm. Quit em before they quit on you gentlemen.

Going back to the same company that had the same problems a year ago, hoping they are better.

 

Interesting as they are calling me on a weekly basis! I have been avoiding them since on our first call the recruiter stated that I needed 6 months experience. I said ok I have that then she said are you sure you have six months? If you have to ask me how sure I am then I wonder how sure you are in calling in the first place. Especially since they were trolling Kijiji and got my number from a posting my fiance and I placed about team driving.

 

I'm getting a weekly recorded call from Kevin Knight himself.

Why the F would anyone go back there? Constantly calling payroll to correct reimbursement issues, "if your not from our terminal, go to hell" mentality, the Katy terminal removing EZpass and them expecting you to run local in Chicago, the Fontana yard telling you to drop your empty or leave while you wait for a load.....

Knight views drivers as being like disposable razors. Their real nice for awhile them you just toss em in the garbage and get a new one. Trucking as a profession would be a whole lot better if it wasn't for these cheap value junk haulers.

 

Well dna mach, when exactly are u saying katy took away the ezpass?? When exactly did fontana tell you had to leave while waiting on load??

 

Exact dates? Those don't matter. People need to skip Knight all together. How does Knight recruit? Advertising. Who doesn't realize that companies that advertise are a waste of time? Newer drivers who put up less resistance to being taken advantage of.

Devote a few days and go advertise yourself to companies that aren't even hiring. How desperate does a company have to be for drivers when they already have 10,000 billboards rolling down the highway to spend big bucks on recruiting?

 

First of all dna mach, u say dates don't matter, that's hogwash then your story is not believable. I for one run out of katy and ALL trucks there have ezpass/prepass. And as for fontana,they do not chase you out while you wait for load. Get your facts straight before flapping your fibbing gums.

 

Ask Kevin Anderson or Debbie when they re-issued the EzPass, it was after I left. It was kind of a big deal as drivers quit over that. You drive to Chicago, shell out 80 bucks for tolls and then have to call payroll to get your money back. Okay how about around March of 2007. The Fontana debacle was in the summer of 2008.

Don't take it so personally when people discuss Knight. I do not see anyone here standing up for them which means their more than likely a bottom feeder..and a bad one at that. Your fighting a losing battle.

 

That's why I was asking for time frame because I wasn't seeing that since I've been here. There are things that go on before people arrive at companies and that was why I was asking what time. I do agree with you that with increase in toll rates in chicago its ridiculous for drivers to pay out of pocket.
