    Not that I have personaly seen. I have seen a new hire get in a truck and head to pickup his wife. Best would be to ask the recruiter or your safety manager as they would have alot more info on this.

    You can take out a "personal loan" from any financial institution and spend the money on anything you like.

    Also make sure you follow your milage on the dispatch. They have a lot to do in the office and can sometimes forget to route you properly. Spotting trailers and things like that can mess a DM up quick.

    My truck had to go to Volvo for an injector recall so I am in a loaner. The truck stinks really bad, it's filthy, no oil on dip stick, all tires including steers were 75psi or less, it took a gallon of coolant, I can turn the steering column by hand, and the Qualcomm is broken. I also told them when I get this load delivered I am not hauling another load until the brake chamber(s) are fixed on this trailer; I have no spring brakes. I can deal with the POS truck but this trailer has tried and exceeded my patience threshold.

    Don't you just love that misesian.. They act like we don't care about csa points. Just remind them it's your license that gets points. Keep your head up though. The last 5 days I have only driven about 10 hours. Been stuck with live loads and unloads killing me. Spent 18 hours getting loaded the other day.

    I would have just ditched that trailer, just like the last 40 drivers in possession of it did. You're not going to change anything at Knight. All you will succeed in doing is making less money.

    Knight is OK but this is the third trailer I have had in 4 weeks do this. I am sick of it and want it fixed. I can't fix axle weights or comply with customers that want the tandem s back. I treat this equipment like I own it and can't stand these kind of problems. I know another driver had this thing and probably did nothing about it. Even my dispatcher said don't worry we can just drop it. I am not OK with that.
