Knight 2011

From Dec 2009-Dec 2010.

 

Sorry for your loss 1026. If you ever shower at the K.C. terminal, the shower across from the transflo machine has so much water pressure, it will blast the shower head right off the tube, and land on your toe. It is a good shower, just watch your toes!

The Dallas Terminal (Hutchins) has a brand new Kwik-Trip truckstop across the highway.

It is possible to get stuck in California, but I was lucky and got immediate turn around with a 2000 mile load. But my dispatcher did warn me, I might get stuck there.

Sears loads to Riverside, MO are scheduled for p/u at 0400, and delivery at 1800, same day. You sleep on there dock, so bring food and drink.

Not all trucks properly warn you when the battery is about to die. Test it at a terminal first. Run the radio, and anything else you can think of with the truck off. See if it shuts down before completely draining the batteries. Then make sure it will restart. If not, get it fixed. With Knights aggressive anti-idling policy, make sure your truck is in good shape before it lets you down somewhere.

 

keep us posted on Knight. I may look in the reefer side of the house. How is the equipment and do they have APU's or some stupid idle policy ? Very good post you are doing.

 

Thats not too bad. 32-75 is about right. I went to the web sight and could not find anything on pay or bennie's

 

Good to hear anything positive nowdays. How is the colubus terminal?

 

Hey 1021(or anybody else). Is it possible to make 50k a year, after a couple of years, as a driver with Knight? About a grand a week? I am a newbie, thinking about going into the reefer division. And hey, does anybody know if that reefer motor keeps you awake when you are in your bunk? P.S. 1021, nice dolphin photos, you mentioned that it was in Rodondo Beach.. did you mean Redondo Beach in Cali? Thanks all!
