    Yep, but that kind of stupidity is not limited to USA. He could have came from Knight for all we know. I see it often from many company drivers and Owner Operators. When we develop technology so we can hire cheaper labor (like elogs) we forget how to use common sense.

    Just wait for the next quarterly report. I think some people will be really surprised. It might not show a profit but I hear it's going to be close to zero. Seeing as how it's been badly in the negative, getting to zero is a big improvement
     
    Thomas0810 and J_FROG Thank this.

    I got news for you... e logs have nothing to do with the utter stupidity that this driver has... I have seen way more wrecked trucks with USA Truck than knight.. Now I know Knight has their share of Bad drivers just like everyone else does for the Most part but the actions by this USA driver shows what kind of standards USA has

    "you, I or any other posters", no. But another CEO making that much money, very possibly. I hear one of the first things he did was redecorate his office. Now, before you other readers say that's a rumor, it's a fact that his office was redecorated. Whether or not it was one of the first things, I can't say for sure. However, I was there with my truck in the shop shortly after he took over and his office had been redecorated and there were several thousand dollars worth of flatscreen TV's all over my fleet managers section. Those aren't the things most CEO's would do if they took over a company that had been losing millions the past few years. Furthermore, many of our competitors are making profits. Our last CEO went with short haul and this one spends too much money.

    FYI, USA acquired a whole trailer load of flat screen TVs when the trailer leaked. That's how we got new TVs in the terminals and driver appreciation give aways also. And besides, as CEO, he's earned that right to redocorate if he wants. That comes with the position.
    Each President we elect spends thousands on redecorating the White House, why shouldn't a company CEO?

    Are there any Knight company drivers consistently getting decent miles every week with decent pay to go with it?

    God bless every American and their families! God bless the U.S.A.!
