I have no idea what the actual percentage is but I probably see 20 Knight trucks for every Squire truck I see. I have heard that they are no longer putting Squire drivers into Squire trucks - they're going into Knight-labeled trucks from their eventual home division. So if you see a Knight it could be a Squire in disguise. Better that way I think - no reason to make every Squire driver explain "well it's the training division..."
Where was it at? Just curious.
I totally agree with you. I imagine if you had run out there screaming "WHOA WHOA WHOA STOP OMG WAT R U DOING" he probably would have stopped and listened and learned a lesson. Everyone does stupid stuff when they're new, or are in a situation they haven't been in before, regardless of what company you work for.
It's entirely possible there wasn't a trainer. You're out with your trainer for 4-6 weeks and then you may end up in a Squire truck by yourself for an additional 90 days before you "graduate" to Knight.
Is anyone else having any problems with Knight?

Sometimes not causing a scene is the best way.
I'm sure you would agree that someone stopping on tracks needs to get off said tracks ASAP. -
My husband and I started driving together back in 2005. I got off the truck to raise a grandson husband ended up finding a local job but because of the bad economy and getting laid off he went back to driving. Ended up at Knight transportation. Not a good experience all the way around. Payroll sucks, it was like pulling teeth to get reimbursed for scale tickets. He was getting ripped off really bad until I got on the planetknight web site and looked through every single pay stub. It was a nightmare dealing with those idiots. I ended up riding with him for several months at which time we traveled from the west to the east and the south. Ended up at many different Knight terminals. It is one of the worst for being driver friendly. It is one of the worst for pay. It's sliding scale they say they'll pay you so much a mile and then it's up to them whether they pay you 35 cents a mile or 28 cents a mile. You can not count on a certain amount. their stupid little bonus pay is nothing more than a joke. Do not ever purchase a light bulb because you wont be reimbursed. Most terminals don't carry those things so if your rolling out there and a fuse or light burns out to bad for you. If your steer tires need replaced be prepared to have used ones put on your truck. Asked for new wipers, never happened. Ended up in those nasty storms that came threw the west coast back in Nov, and Dec. Try seeing out your windshield when your wipers are wired on with wire. ( this was actually done by the shop at one of the terminals) What a joke. Be prepared to set for days. they will try to get away without paying you lay over pay. To make a long story short I spent months getting my husbands pay straightened out. Little hint for all who are fairly new to Knight the squeaky wheel gets the grease. It wasn't to long before Husbands dispatch figured out that he wasn't going to set for free or that they could rip him off on his pay. I was on the phone right away when I noticed something wasn't right pay wise. Husband quit Knight a few months ago and we haven't been Happier. A person shouldn't have to work twice for their pay check. There are better companies to work for and of course worse, but I personally would never work for Knighttrans not a driver friendly company at all.

I can not figure out the pay stub. My husband was told he would get $00.28 per mile, has not gotten that yet!!!!
He has not been home yet for a requested time off, he always gets in 2-3 days after requested time, consequently missing a special function, Birthdays, Mother's day etc. He has put requests in 2 weeks in advance, they just ignore it and do what they want.
Often they send him out about 400 miles and then let him sit for 24 hours, stating they can't find him a load. For the time he is out and the amt, of hours he is "on duty" he gets paid "chicken ####'!
I told him he could stay home and work Mc Donald's!!123456 Thanks this. -
