I've not posted because I've been busy. So far there is no sitting at Knight. I'm usually preplanned on my next load before I deliver my current one. No issue getting 3000 miles a week. When I hip home the $$$ suffer but I'm okay with that because I'm ready for the rest. Three months in and I'm really enjoying it here.
Blue Zombie Trucker, Veryblessed and JourneyintoTrucking Thank this. -
Score. After 4 months with Knight on OTR I was offered a dedicated run that has me home most weeknights and weekends off. I have to deal with Atlanta every day but I'm loving it. Knight has opportunities for sure. I don't regret coming on board.

What type of changes will you see now that Swift is acquiring Knight?

Also largest inverter allowed is 150 Watts, can't secure bicycle behind cab - I want to stay healthy.
I'm not asking for home time - only every 3-4 weeks.
I'd like to keep up and see if you continue to get those miles. I really love the bonus structure they have too. Is it real? Like attainable?Blue Zombie Trucker and Need4Speed Thank this. -
Think about folding bicycles. they fit into the sleeper and stay clean that way. Some are also electric, so if you get tired, just use the battery to keep going.
Britton Transport is good and the trucks have APU. Don't know if dry van division is better than reefer division. Contract Freighters is dry van and their drivers seem satisfied working there.

Knight is a Terminal based outfit. They don't have centralized dispatch or service centers. Each terminal has their own budget & shop in most cases, dispatching & salesperson. Miles are not a issue for even a half decent driver if you are not lazy or specific on your freight lanes. The challenges at knight are mty trailers & doing pm. Both can be solved with experience. Bonus is attainable but probably only in the .03 a mile range that can be controled by driver. My now girlfriend worked for them for over 8 years & her last full year made around 53k on only 100k miles working 7-10 days out & 2 full days off.
She quit before the merger & now does sales & frieght broker work for a local recycler.Blue Zombie Trucker, JourneyintoTrucking, Need4Speed and 1 other person Thank this.
