Renting a truck at Knight Transportation.

Sorry, I shoulda figured insurance at like $300 a week, or are they charging more for that as well?

 

you should of bought it ... meaning ... pay it off and run as long as you can with no truck payment ... good luck

 

That's not bad for a total cost per week.

 

that's actually pretty horrible.. and them only giving FSC on loaded miles is b.s.. i guess that's a van deal.. when i was hoping from company driver to o/o i called them because they were good to me when i was there and told them what i wanted to do.. they told me i'd have to talk to a different recruiter.. nothing that lady told me was good.. but i guess it's a good start if you can't get traditional financing..

I'm at $375 a week, and most of that is my truck payment, i only owe about $50 a week back to the company. and as large as Knight is, the fuel discount should about about $0.20 a gallon. They're obviously holding alot of that back.. If it's only $0.05 then they're only giving you the cash price difference which is something they already get for using a fuel card.

 

Yeah, the Fuel Surcharge bit has me a bit baffled, not only are they holding back on what they are charging the customer, but they are also holding back on discount. Unless they want to tell us they are getting a worse discount than Maverick gives the public for using a Black Card!

i know people always said van rates are horrible, but i doubt they can be that bad.. i mean there are companies paying alot better but drivers still haul van with crap rates. i don't get it.

 

Oh no, Knight is holding a lot back on those mileage rates as well, short haul they are holding mucho bucks back. Hell, that's why Knight jumped into the short haul market, you make more for less effort.
