CURRENT Knight drivers please respond

Thanks I will call them..... I think last time I called they would only do nationwide for me due to where I live. As far as knight - denver is concerned, I think Kabar may have nailed it - **censored**. Or the whole company may be like that as HappyPappy said.

I've already sent my app to the person Kabar suggested for 11 Western.

P.S. Hey Kabar..... I mentioned your S***E which I assume is your driver code. Thanks Much....

 

Got a call from a safety guy from Knight/Denver this afternoon; I *think* he wanted to explain why they could not hire me. I explained that I had one moving violation and one INCIDENT withing the last three years.

And that "incident" MAY be bogus (what is known as "frivolous" in legal terms). He said "you know you can dispute that, right"? I said it's already been done, sir and a copy of the dispute was enclosed with my app!!!! Along with TWO separate letters from the carrier that dinged my DAC inviting me to come back any time I wanted to.

He said "what about these other two accidents/incidents". I said they were in early 2004, sir. Let's see, that's FIVE years isn't it??? Hmmm. He seemed surprised, even though my DAC was right in front of him. What can I say?

I got the impression he was going to have recruiting run a full check on me and if all was well, they may offer me a job. That was my impression, I may be wrong and I'm not waiting around. First DECENT carrier that offers me a job, I'm gone!!!

Thanks to all you guy/gals that have offered ideas, suggetions,etc. I'm really greatful even though I don't HAVE to work. I'd really be going nuts with all this crap if I had to rely on any money I might make.

Fun, fun, fun...........

Shame on you RECON for "having the audacity to doubt my veracity" (look it up).

I took my first training in late 2003. I stuck with driving for a year, then someone asked me for help with a project, so I bailed out for a year. Then I went back in late 2005, until my eyes started failing in mid-2007. In Feb of of 2008 I had artificial lenses implanted which took me from soon-to-be-blind to 20/25 without correction. Went back to driving last May and June, but got fed up and quit again. If ya want, I can put an exact list together with start/end dates of each job. So ya see, with my on-again-off-again trucking career, I have 3 years of driving exp over a 5 year timeframe.

Now, as to why I want to go out again, when I really don't HAVE to...... Wife lost her health insurance and I'd like to NOT have to pay almost $900 per month, for MINIMAL coverage. Secondly, while I VERY likely have enough in my retirement funds for the rest of my life, in never hurts to have MORE. I lost quite a lot (almost $100K) in the "great crash of 2008" and wouldn't mind putting some of it back.

Oh, yeah..... I've had one preventable accident right after I started (early 2004) one "bulls**t" incident a month later and then the other "BS incident" in june 2008. Have NEVER been in an accident where I was at charged, although I could have been for the first one in 2004.

Hope this clears things up.......

P.S. Hey Maverick.... I see you are from FL. What part??? I lived in JAX for 20 years.

 

Where'd you guys go????
