Knight Orientation Pay:$150.00 for Three Long Days!

Hey buddy, here's how the real world works. No one who attends Knight Transportation's orientation had a gun put to their head.

I asked you how much should Knight pay perspective employees for orientation, you never answered. Keep in mind, just because you attend orientation, doesn't mean you're an employee.

Self esteem is the stuff of utopians who live mostly in a make believe world where one thinks someone owes them something just because.

I was grateful for my job at May. I learned a lot, drove nice equipment and was able to pull myself out of a real financial predicament over a couple of years driving OTR for them. In spite of being paid $50 a day for a 3 day boring orientation.

I moved on and upward these past 7 years in this industry. No one ever handing me anything on a silver platter.

I've worked hard and smart to get to where I am now as an independent owner operator.

Save your self esteem spiel for some other blowhard

 

Knight only pays if your hired. Other then that your shipped home on a bus if the terminals budget allows it.

Just chimed in to point out that point was kind of moot.

 

Dont forget 3 days of "free" sack lunches!!

 

What do I think? I think you need to find another line of work.

Sowflakes...makes my butt hurt.

 

Which point is moot? The OP's headline says Knight only pays $150 for 3 long days of orientation

You're right, these companies won't pay anything if they don't end up hiring you. Perspective employees are sent packing all the time during these orientations.

Dirty pee tests, failed basic driving skills, concealed and false information submitted on applications that are found out, etc.

 

$600

 

You have a future as a DM or an OM.

 

Ultimately the CDL is worth several million dollars to the driver over a career. The cleaner the driver's record, the more opportunity to earn bigger dollars per year. Keep your eye on the long term ball not next week's paycheck by speeding through the work school fuel zone today.
