Going Over the Road with Knight

Sounds like the perfect setup for you.

 

It's even the right color for knight reefer.

My long term plan is to buy a tractor and either stay with Knight or go with another carrier. For some reason I thought Knight was picky about what kind of trucks they allow to sign on. I did see and old Pete 379 at the Atlanta yard but I assumed it was just one of their older trucks a driver bought years ago.

 

That's good news, buying an older truck would be preferable. Right now I run up and down the Midwest and east coast and have no desire to go to CA.

 

Nice truck Mes, Also if the gearing ends up not working at some later time its pretty simple to change out the rear's hell if you did it all Tranny and rears its 10-15k, so when it comes time to rebuild that part you can hone it however you like. It looks in awesome shape, just make sure to stock money away.

 

I'm not much on 'flat tops' having driven a Pete 379 but prefer the more 'open' feel of Volvo (same with the Centurys). Several times when driving out west in the daytime with no traffic around me, I got up from my seat and walked around to get something while on cruise w/one hand on the steering wheel!

 

O god, The sad part is I would believe this, I have seen drivers do this, AS I WAS FREAKIN PASSING them no less.

 

You don't expect a driver trying to make time to stop his truck just to open his microwave and get out his popcorn, do you?!!
