Knight just bought Abilene Motor Express, the company I drive for. And I have one question...

only time will tell. i worked for a company Celadon bought out,(home based in Richmond, VA) just for the loads they hauled, huge rolls of paper, cigarettes and booze.

 

Thanks. It should make it easier to respond.

 

Bull. If you travel in Ontario you are required to have a 105kph limiter set. I take the chance because it's a pain to swing by a company shop, but that doesn't make it legal. They WILL plug into your ECU and check if they want.

 

Don't be shocked if nothing changes at all. Knight and Swift are operated independently. I worked for knight when the merger took place and all was the same. They may well just take over accounting operations and let it run as is.

 

Knight-Swift Buys Trucker Abilene Motor Express

 

The last line in the article is the real information:

DAT Solutions LLC said the national average spot market rate for vans, the most common type of truck transport, was $2.13 per mile, down 11 cents from January but about 52 cents per mile higher than it was a year ago.

Who the hell can run a trucking company and pay drivers a living wage when the gross is $2.13. With benefits, $.80 of that number should go to just the driver.

 

all I have to say is, Welcome to 'General Feight'!

 

I did too but I left before the transition.

 

Roflmao

 

I just started putting 4% into a 401k with 4% company match at 29 years old. So glad I finally started it
