    I actually went to salt lake city instead of Tulare, CA. Because I was there turning in an England truck.
    Now they have flown me to Kansas city KS to recover a CA. truck, And return it to CA.
    they are paying $150 to come here then whatever I make driving it back.
    So far so good, sure beats england.

    At Knight it's all regional work, most of your loads will be in that 300 to 800 mile range.

    No, and I doubt they will, last I heard they where waiting to see if idle air stays afloat and MIGHT do I test program with them next summer.

    You can boil an egg with the bunk heater though

    Started orientation 2day, It was the typical day,physicals,drug screen,paper work out the yazoo. Columbus,Oh runs 2 divisions out of Columbus... van ab
    nd reefer.Dispatch says they have tons of freight available out of Cols. going west.?They would like every driver to take turns doing a weekend at least once a month. I might have to go elseware to get a truck as they don't have eough trucks in Cols. Might have to fly to Phoenix to get a truck. Only 4 in orientation 2day inclunding myself.

    I was sent to Kansas city to recover a tulare CA. truck. first load was 1200 miles to tolleson AZ. they paid $150 for the recovery plus the miles for the trip back, Also put me up in decent hotels. The truck broke down in Albequerque, NM. So I'm sitting here getting layover + hotel room.
    Went to orientation last monday, So far they have deposited almost $800 in my direct deposit, And I've only driven about 900 miles.
    So far so good!

    Well I was running good this week, sitting in El Paso w/ 2800 miles since friday and there is NO FREIGHT here. I'm on the second page of trucks waiting. I volunteered to do a 34 since I only had 12 hours left if they would get me a decent load for Friday lined up.

    Before today this week was great. Left Kraft in Fresno Friday night. Delievered at Walmart in Grandview, WA on sunday morning. Picked up at International Paper in Union Gap, WA on sunday and delivered in Idaho Falls, ID on Monday. Loaded in Jerome, ID Monday and Delivered today(Wednesday) in El Paso. Not the hardest I've ever run but still pretty good.
