    Yeah I seen another post about that. It is a new system that Knight is testing out that may take them away from the qulacomm system. It is supposed to help make sure that the inspections are actually getting done and not being paper whipped. It also has the feature where if something is damaged you can take pictures and send it in along with the inspection.

    Glad to hear it, I myself and another poster here are headed out to Memphis tomorrow and start orientation for the Squire program on Monday. hope you pass that test on the 13th!

    I passed. I will be getting my own truck sometime tomorrow. Arkansas says I have to wait 24 hours to show up at the DMV to get my license so I am not an official truck driver until tomorrow. I got to drive one of the Cummins 9 speeds for a day with another guy and those are pretty nice.
    I am still a Squire for 15000 miles and then I will be considered a real Knight driver.

    Yeah because telling the shop to fix something and them not doing it, that's not the problem. It's the drivers.

    Did I miss something? I don't see any part where he was complaining about Knight saying anything was his fault or anything related to maintenance.....

    Some people complain to complain, It makes them feel like there experience with the company is shared amongst everyone. Anyways Have a good weekend all, 4100 miles last week and 3400 this week. Time for a weekend of rest at home. Be safe out there all.
     
    lcfd15 Thanks this.

    Well, I am under a load to FL but broke down only a short distance down the road. Truck has to go to Volvo Monday. This one just came out of the shop in Dallas too. Sucks starting off this way.

    Well that sucks. Hopefully they can get you on another truck right away and not leave you waiting around for days.

    Ha, I think I just seen a very similar post on our Facebook group, lol. Hope you get that thing fixed and keep it away from the maintenance shop that broke it originally!
