Knight transportation verbal abuse

um...exactly where in oregon are you going that is 750 miles from point a to point b?

Secondly....this is MY industry...ALL of it...GTFO! that's right....no room for crybabies who will whine because they overslept or would rather hold a playstation controller than a steering wheel.....

LOOK guy...I'm going to be blunt and brutal...ly honest here. In this industry we only have ONE thing to offer the customer and our employer...SERVICE...NO...NOT lip service...but dedicated have your ### up 10 hours after you lay down, hit it hard, get it done RIGHT...and SAFELY service and frankly it's jackwagons like you who JACK it up for the REST of us....for EVERY load at EVERY company that is delivered late because some pencil knecked geek that don't know a fifth wheel from a spare tire thinks they are being worked too hard in what they thought was going to be a JOB can't get it there on time and safely causes freight rates...INDUSTRY WIDE...to gradually decrease...get a 9 to 5 Dolly. Tissue? You touch my tissue and I'll pepper spray you....sicko.... THIS ISN'T A JOB...IT'S A WAY OF LIFE....LOVE IT...OR GET THE HELL OUT OF IT...

Is KNIGHT bad?....is a fat guy on a nude beach with a rubber duckie flotation device hanging below his hips bad?....pic not needed...but I DO have one.

I'm going to put it plain and simple.....ONE late load is perfectly understandable....but you yourself said MULTIPLE...meaning MORE than one time.....I'd verbally abuse you too....I'd probably run you off the yard with a tire iron for that matter...FREIGHT rates go down...SALES COMMISSIONS go down...COMMISSIONS go down...BONUSES go down...BONUSES go down...wife forgets what that term means....it's a horrible chain of events that people who DON'T need to be behind the wheel set in motion....GET...A....JOB...YOU...ARE....CUT....OUT....FOR...because CLEARLY trucking is NOT it. /rant off

 

Okay on a more serious note....HAVE the God given common sense to TURN THE LOAD DOWN if it's not enough time to get there...and then BEG them to fire you for it...soon as they do you get a lawyer...lawyer gets in touch with FMCSA and KNIGHT becomes under new ownership most likely....it's THAT simple..and THAT'S why I said what I said in the post above this one. USE...YOUR BRAIN....I'm aware of KNIGHT's schemes and ploys... It's due to a rampant age old mentality..."I'm a driver so it's US against the dispatchers"..."I'm a dispatcher..it's me against the drivers!" "I'm a planner and I have a corner office so screw you BOTH!". I'm FULLY aware...but a scam on their part don't constitute a "I MUST go to work for them" on YOURS....goes right back to 3 simple words...USE...YOUR...BRAIN.

 

OMG, that's what you're whinning about? Geesh, I've been ripped 10x as bad as that. You never served in the military did you? As a LEO I've had worse tongue lashings. Thick skin you do not have..

 

Yeah & you went to jb hunt & started crying there after one load.

Want some tissues?

 

Ive had several loads that were origionally dispatched onto my qualcomm stating "this load must deliver on or before" after letting dispatch know I did not have enough hours to cover the run and informing them I would not run the load illegally, I was put on hold for the next day or so. This happened quite frequently actually.

 

Less noted is the fact that there was another vehile that created the whole incident and caused the car driver to crawl out into an open lane. Bad situation all the way around.

Something like this happened when I was with Metropolitan; one of our trucks was stopped in a traffic jam just south of Petersburg Va. on I-95. There was van full of family members stopped right on his bumper. Another truck coming down 95 did not notice the traffic was actually stopped and plowed the 4-wheel van right into our Metropolitan trailer killing all 5 people in the van. Needless, to say, relatives were able to bring suit not only on the truck that hit the van, but also on Metropolitan under Virgina law. It cost Metropolitan's insurance company 3 million and our truck was just sitting there in stopped traffic and had nowhere to go. So, you can be sitting somewhere doing nothing in the right, not even moving, and the next minute your in a law suit.
