    No point in contacting quallcomm. Just get the word out that Knight rips it's drivers off and find a new job. I understand your "new too the biz" Smaggs but that doesn't give Knight the right to rip you off.

    I paid my dues ten years ago with Schneider. They kept me out for nine days at a time but in that nine days I made a decent wage. Man oh man how times have changed for the new guys.

    Do you know how to ask your DM for a p.o.#? Do you know how to put "that" p.o.# on your trip sheet?:biggrin_25517:

    I was told that scales didn't require a P.O. I've been reimbursed countless other times without one. You better believe I'm getting a P.O. for EVERYTHING I do from now on.

    I'm supposedly getting all the money owed and I checked the payroll site and all the back pays are magically showing up out of nowhere. They either cleaned up the paper trail and paid me for tomorrow's payday, or they just made it look good on their end and I'm boned...

    I'll find out tonight :)

    My DM has been helping me, as I despise calling payroll... I went through my DM so that everything I said was on the record ;)

    Hopefully all will be good from now on. I've got longer runs coming. Going to San Antonio tomorrow. Staying at the PHX yard until midnight-2am then rolling out.

    I second that one. I lived in goodyear for 6 months then moved to peroia, I would take estrella over most other places in the area, Just know if you live within PHX city limits your bound to be stuck next to a dope house or stash house U name it lol

    Well, that sux. I lived in Tempe along Baseline, then Phx (way south 48th street in an apt complex) back in 99. Never had any problems other than moron drunken students in Tempe.

Well on the bright side if this whole trk driving think don't work out u can alway (Break Bad)-cook meth-. Lol. Hell you could probaly get rich just selling at knight terminals.(when I worker there, the lounges looked more like Poorer homeless shelters).

    There are a lot of hot women in PHX although it seems they are very generous with little or no effort. Maybe its just me bein from a town like Porland OR but livin in PHX for a couple years I couldnt believe what little Inhibitions are the ideals there.

    they wont issue PO's for scales or tolls, you just have to scan those in with the trip sheet and ya get paid for it that way. if something doesn't show up. it's always easier to just let your DM know and they'll talk/email payroll for ya, and if you have the tracking code for that trip it'll help also, but it only really works if your DM is worth their weight in pubic hairs.. so much for the detention.. that macro22 or what ever number it is,... is a real killer.. they were getting me like that for about two months, then it got to the point where now i just send my arrived message, then i go line one, and then i send the macro 22.. and then i go check in with shipping/receiving. If i'm not there for more then two hours after my appointment, then i dont worry about it.. if i am, i know i sent all of the messages needed (force of habit now) and i still dont worry about it. but alot of the time detention will take almost a month to show up, because Knight wont pay us detention until they get paid detention from the customer.

    free? well supposedly the way Knight quotes it to the customer is that they expect it to take 2hrs to pickup or deliver a load at a customer, but anything after that Knight charges the customer for holding up the truck because it could be making money somewhere else.. but i've also been told that Knight get's a lot more then $12 an hr or what ever we get for detention.. it's more like $56 or something like that, but once again it's just talk as always
