    I always do my pre and post trips... what I like is that Marten will actually check and not let you leave with things wrong. Knight sent me out with bad brakes, which I knew about and took to the shop.

    That was my biggest pet peeve at Knight, it was a constant battle with payroll to get paid and reimbursed. I wonder how much money they save every year on the scales and tolls they miss and drivers don't follow up on.

    part of me wonders if they just "forget" to pay drivers back and actually claim the receipts on their taxes.

    knight is nothing more than a driver mill in the same mold as swift, shnieder, etc. they dont want drivers to stick around even though they say they do. actions speak louder than words and their actions scream.

    Well you may be on to something there. Since mister CEO himself Kevin Knight learned the ropes while working at Swift.

    From the Book of England

    Chapter 1

    1. For Chester shall beget the Sons-o-Chester
    and that shall be called after the islands of England
    2. From the Sons-o-Chester shall come forth the Jeff and
    he shall be filled with Pride.
    3. The Sons-o-Chester shall also beget the Moyes and they
    shall indeed be Swift.
    4. From the Swift shall come another who is of the Central but
    once was of the Dick.
    5. And from the Swift shall spring forth the Kevin
    and he shall be as a Knight.
    6. And they will be known by the book they read on
    Sunday and the manner which they keep, which is not unlike
    the made men in the new city of york.
