Do not work for knight transportation!!!

Knight cheer boy? LOL I guess if you call people out on disinformation they try to spread as fact you are a cheer boy. Oh well I believe I have said on more then one occasion in a post that NO OTR company is good only degrees of bad.

Like I said before there is plenty to bash Knight or any other OTR carrier about that you don't need to make things up or exaggerate.

 

yES, THAT'S WHAT I AM SAYIN'!

 

Well, I don't claim to have all the answers...but I have talked to a lot of knight drivers and most of them seem to be pretty happy with the company....for what it's worth.

 

This 'Report a BAD Trucking Company Here' section is a joke. Its turned into 'Im PISSED and I want to feel better so i'll Whine and moan about my company' section. There is no useful info here anymore, just a bunch of whiners that can't do the job. No one makes you work for a particular company. No one forces you into this job. Take responsibilty for your own #### life and do something else.

 

Dishonesty, unpaid work, did I mention WORKING for FREE? If that's not enough, here's a truck that has the top speed determined by an idle percentage. No APU's at this outfit, no sir those cost money and might contribute to driver retention.

Most of us old has beens from Knight have too much responsibility. When you actually take pride in your work and enjoy seeing a HARDS day work being unloaded from your trailer then you will understand why some people get upset seeing Knight screw it up every time. Most loads never even reach your quallcom until well after the p/u time. 300 mile loads with 30 hours transit time are great if it's round trip freight and your pay is merely for supplemental purposes.

There you've learned something about Knight. READ IT, GET IT, MOVE ON.

 

Throw a whiney truck driver an itch and he just can't help but scratch it! LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Okay I will just spell it out for you since you have nothing to contribute but childish games.

First off I do fine, I have a great job and could not be happier.

Truck driving is being ruined by mega junk carriers. Things should be much better.

These issues need to be discussed so maybe things will improve.

Dryver I am sorry you enjoy being treated like the idiot red headed step child that you are and don't care for a living wage but many people have avoided Knight because of this forum.

What's so hard to understand about this? You mega junk carriers fanboys content with peanut wages and doing nothing to improve things lying down like a dieing dog. I'll never understand why you folks could care less about a once noble profession being ruined.

Edit to ask

I and many others have quit Knight and recieved annual raises of over $10,000 annually. Instead of doing work for free and babysitting freight for a low wage to begin with. This makes Knight have a harder time and looking at their slick ads in the trucking rags, looks they have bit off more than they can chew. Next month their stupid glossy will probably say "now with pay" or maybe "if you drive, pleeese try Knight"

 

well i guess im not going to truck it all the companies screw u so why bother

 

This is a good place to find a decent one. Knight isn't it. I found this forum after my husband left for orientation and was driving. Everything happened, pretty much as I read here. Lot of short trips, didn't get the miles per week they told him, have 2 days to get 400 miles, then sit for another day waiting on load to pickup. Didn't get home for 12 days after he requested, after they assured him they would get him home. I didn't see him for 6 weeks. But its all good now, home every nite, WAAY better pay, and happy. I know how lucky we are to have the job he has now, and I am thankful every day.

 

There are good companies out there... the trick is in finding 'em. I've heard nothin' but bad news about Knight, and I personally would never go there, but I do things a bit differently---I only hire on with companies that run long, literally coast-to-coast. I don't mean coast-to-coast in 10 short hauls, I mean loading on the West Coast and delivering on the East Coast, or vice versa, with the odd intermediate leg thrown in in light of HOS considerations. Truckload freight, not that time-wastin' LTL #########. I used to run CA-PA-GA-CA, CA-NC-IL-CA, runs like that which made for good mileage and let my hours roll over so the truck kept moving, yet minimized the time spent at docks dealing with the proverbial ##########... I guess the trick is to figure out what works for YOU and then research companies to find out which ones run the way you want to run. That FLEETDIRECTORY.COM site is a good place to start, with plenty of listings in each state, and company info or website links to boot... Sure, there are crappy companies on there as well, but that's what sites like this one are for, to ask and determine whether a company recruiter is giving you the real story or slinging b.s. like so much hash down at the Waffle House... When you're with the right company, running the way you want to run, truck driving is the best---if you're with some suck-##### outfit, then it blows. Again, the trick is to find the right company... not an easy task in this economy, but it can be done. That's my $.02, and good luck to you if you stay with it. Here's what the last bad employer looked like when I told that chump he was fired > Here's what I looked like > Enough said.
