R and D's big adventure at Knight Transportation. Wait, really? Yes Knight!

Hey phoenix have you gone through colorado this last week, if so did you happen to go through canon city few days ago?

 

I already know my DM is planning on moving on soon. He enjoys his job when he doesnt have to deal with MM or corp. I already told him when he quits so will I unless I get to be local. Already made the agreement with my wife. 2 years OTR and then a local job.

 

What state are you in today? Im in NM.

 

Ya know, going to work for these big trucking companies reminds me of what it must be like for an innocent, young, pretty girl in a pick-up bar full of horney old men. All the smooth, clever talk; being treated with kindness and respect. Made to feel like you are special. Being told that you deserve the best. All that gentle, but firm, persuasion... and then... WHAMO! Bammo! Thank you Ma'amo! The next day, all the showers in the world cant wash away all that regret. Best thing to do in the future? Just say NO to all recruiters.

 

So true! I've had a couple of "conversations" with Safety about "hard brakes", also, and was able to bite my tongue, but it was close.

I don't know everything, but I have been doing this for over 20 years, and having to explain things to a 20 year old "non truck driver" kind of irritates me, just a bit.

 

You're probably competing with all the 'dedicated container drivers' who have no freight, as the Long Beach port has been shut down for a week due to a strike...ships stuck off shore waiting to unload...

Try a request for a DH home..what is it, 100-120 miles??
