Sorry I haven't posted any updates just slipped my mind. I like it so far I'm not on my own yet still with trainer. My test out date is Oct 5th but will be after that our load drops in Nevada and my terminal is Lakeland Florida. So it will be a few days after we drop and try and get back that way. Please ask any questions and I'll try and answer or find the answer.
Veryblessed and Orcashark Thank this. -

No problem, glad to hear it's still going well for you. I've seen around the forums that Knight's trucks don't have APUs, is that true? If so, do they get very picky/micromanaging about idling?
This isn't super important, but I was also wondering if their pet policy allows for more than one pet or not. -
If you only Idle when necessary & try driving your max hrs, you will only lose the fuel bonus about 3 or 4 mos out of the year. They want you below 10% in winter & 20% in summer
Knight is a big company but each terminal has it's own fleet. From everything I have heard the worst terminal for micromanagement is Phoenix because that is the home of the Company. -
Tony850, are you still at Knight? How was the rest of your training? Curious as I've been looking at going with them once I've gotten my CDL.
Veryblessed Thanks this. -
Also curious. Looking at them but it's been 2 years since I got my cdl though and no trucking experience.

I have been here 6 months pretty good place to start. They just got me a brand new VNL 760 I'm not complaining
nqSupes Thanks this. -

@Tony850, one of my instructors seems to think that while in the squire program a new driver will only go home if the dispatcher allows it until they are a full "Knight" after they drive 30,000 miles. On the other hand my impression is that while doing your 30,000 you're treated like any other driver with Knight when it comes to home time depending on your fleet. For example Western 11 drivers are out 10-14 and home 2-3 according to their website.
Anyhow...how were you treated during your time doing your 30,000? Is there any truth to what my instructor is saying?
Thanks. -
