Stop Knight Transportation!

I am also having trouble believing that this Driver got 4200 miles on e logs. I am on e logs and that is just not possible. I have hit 3500 once and my truck was set at 63. The load selection was almost perfect for me just to pull that off.

 

Yes this is a difficult one to swallow. He said he averages 3600-4200 miles a week. So if I understand the term "average" at some point he has to drive MORE than 4200 miles in a 7 day period. THAT is what I find hard to believe.

 

I'm srry but there is NO way ur pulling 3600-4200 miles a week. Week in an week out. Maybe 1 week u turned in 3600 ( extremely difficult in NE) but to turn around the next and do it again. Srry no way. Plus u run for Knight, so wut ur governed at 65 if ur lucky. Lol. It's just mathematically impossible. Just my .02

 

the do not call list is shutdown non essential LOL

 

4200-miles/62-MPH =67.7419 hours of drive time alone, under optimum conditions.
I used the 62mph as an average. I haven't been on that side of the US since 04 and can't remember what the speed limit is. If I remember IKEA loads, they are all turn and burns at both ends. Go to DC and drop MT and p/u loaded and haul mail to whatever store and drop the loaded and p/u the MT there and deadhead right back to the DC or a different one. BUT that was also the ones in California and some of the Store, all you did was drop the trailer somewhere at the store and a local guy would do all the moving since some of the darn docks were in the weirdest locations. There was once near oakland that was in a parking garage. I actually refused to go into it until I walked through it and and found the dock. There was NO WAY a truck would get in there during the daytime.

I dunno. My last year with Knight I averaged $924 a week working Sunday afternoon through Friday afternoon, driving from SLC and back twice. No way I could have done it on Elogs. God, I loved that route! Trailers always weighted around 24k both ways and my customer in SLC was a few miles from the terminal and the customer in Mira Loma was 5 blocks from the terminal there. But of course Knight had to screw it up and they lost the account.

 

I left msg for a recruiter to call me about going to work there, they called me, but I was only looking for local work, they have a terminal here in Las Vegas, they said sorry nothing, ask me my driving experience, I told her, she said they can put me right in a truck for OTR, But thanked her, and said, not interested in OTR, and she was very polite and said, If you ever want to go back to OTR give us a call, well actually, I am going back to OTR, but not with Knight, I have not heard back from them, Just finding it hard to believe they call that often, with driving schools flooding rookie drivers out faster than you can change your underwear
