I have a good job and I run the routes I choose. I just thought I would share this oppertunity here because Knight Refrigerated only hired experianced drivers in the past. So in a way you are right, you ALWAYS find what you are looking for, good or bad.

I honestly do not have all the information on this new program because Knight Refrigerated only hired experianced drivers in the past. So find out for yourself, maybe it is not your cup of tea. Getting paid to get a CDL and the chance to work in a company that lets you choose the routes you run. Some will like it and some would rather pay a school big bucks. Information is a good thing. -

Filled out an app. on 7/31 and was contacted by e-mail and phone message. In the last two days I have tried once by e-mail and 3 times by phone and still have not heard anything more.

Then another page says it's 4-6 weeks with a trainer, but that training continues 4-6 months. Where? For what?

Tuition reimbursement? How does that work?
They just seem vague, if not complicated.
I'd never get hired there. The recruiter would say 'this guy asks too many questions' and my experience with low-paying jobs has been that they don't want you asking too many questions about the terms of employment or benefits. They don't need to answer all that, as they can just say 'next?' and there are others who are willing to be herded like cattle, whatever the terms. Not all of us are desperate. I'm not near as concerned about what the terms are, as long as they're clear and explained to me without having to pull teeth to get answers, and the company keeps their word.Last edited: Aug 6, 2013

Trainee fees for Range and Road training (including hotel and transportation)
$3,000
Trainee fees for Range and road training (without hotel and transportation)
$2,500
Non-refundable application fee
$100
Approved trainees who attend the CDL course will sign a training agreement and will be paid a salary, as a Trainee Employee, of $400 weekly.
CDL training fees can be paid through the following two plans: Plan 1: Trainee CDL training fees paid in full
Trainees who pay fees in full prior to training will be provided a 10% discount of the Range and Road training fee.
Plan 2: Trainee CDL training fees financed (0% Interest Financing)
Trainees who elect to finance the remained fees owed will agree to a weekly deduction of $50 from payroll until the balance due is paid in full.

An application fee shouldn't be a deal killer. Many immature people apply for jobs & quit over some minor reason; maybe no creamer for the coffee, or now that they have a job, they realize they can't sleep till noon every day. If I was unemployed I would be happy to pay an application fee to a company willing to hire and train me. Why should the people in the office spend hours on paperwork, then the applicant just walks out the door?Last edited by a moderator: Aug 7, 2013

And not everyone who applies is unemployed. If they are, they're the last people who can afford to waste $100 for no job.
