It depends OverDrive, when i was there i was able to take my 2 day hometime after 2 weeks anywhere. It is terminal specific. For instance Atlanta allowed it, but Kansas City couldn't. Knight still runs their terminals as if they are their own entities under the Knight flag.
OverDrive Thanks this. -
Knight is worried about volume and not quality and will be restructuring on being able to cycle drivers with the lowest effect on profits. Driver cams, crash mitigation, Zonar and Driver rating / scale rating are all just the tip.
I'm sorry, I cant and I wont be more specific as stated above this was a conversation I had with a friend. The only reason I bring it up here is so people dig a little deeper before they just believe what they see on the surface. When I say Knight is headed toward C.R. England's management style its not a exaggeration, just a warning.
Stay safe and I really do hope some of the info I have share helps somewhat.
My personal opinion, I worked for them for years, they treated me good but those days are ending and the company is headed in a different direction. I will not be returning to them.
Edit,
I will add one more thing, Just because they say something wont happen now, only applies to the here and now with them. That does not mean they don't plan on implementing something later.Last edited: Aug 31, 2016

After they grew, competing with and becoming a Swift wannabe, drivers became just tractor numbers..Last edited: Aug 31, 2016

Yup, if I remember right, didn't they start out by hauling hay for farms?

Mega Fleet can't possibly be that bad they are a typical company. I'm a owner operator I know this business and got to give credit to the drivers that sacrifice so much for these Companies... I started with Schneider National and that job was okay years ago... Good Luck with Knight...
