But they say that Knight is your "Hometown National Carrier"? Lets look at the facts. Are they an OTR carrier, Yes. Do they pay for all of your on duty time? No. Do they pay the exact miles that you drive? No. Does their health insurance cost you an out of pocket expense? Yes. Does the company pay for your retirement or do you have to contribute to it? No and yes. Do you receive holiday pay, vacation pay, sick day pay, funeral pay and jury duty pay? Only you can answer that. Knight is just another Junk OTR company. Why do you folks still work for companies like this? Good grief!

Driver can show up early for an 8am appointment... Lumpers start to unload soon after... and it still takes 4 hours to get unloaded??? and it’s just pallets of soap... can’t take that long to count and verify...

Blows my freaking mind.

I don’t hear anything... but the light is still red... go inside to double check... they went to lunch.

Turns out the appointment “window” was 8am to Noon... and yup, they are using all of it.

ya, ya, ya... I know... it’s trucking.

Is Wyoming considered “northwest”, or “midwest”?

Mack, I’m pretty sure it’s in the “mountain states” category.

So a snow storm popped up and closed I-15 out of SoCal today... guess it was a good thing I only had 2 hours on my 70 and couldn’t really go anywhere anyway... so we will see what tomorrow brings...
