Going Over the Road with Knight

Lack of Common Sense >>>leads to>>> Poor Judgment......they are inter-related

 

Who knows what's causing it. GMOs in food. Overpopulation of the planet. Less focus on personal time.

On that note starting next week officially with Knight! Hope I made a good choice. Everyone has been nice.

 

Sweet, You may see me up at the terminal. I run a dedicated route for them and swing thur the terminal often.

 

Cool, will see ya around then! Do they have many dedicated accounts? Wonder what sort of routes Reefer go? I heard training is 3 weeks with a mentor. Is that about right? Thanks Fajo.

 

No, Dedicated can be quite rare. Im more of a dedicated lane then a dedicated cust. As for training that sounds right can be less can be more just depends. Refeer goes where ever food is needed. Or some odd reason TVs that fred myers likes to load on a refeer.

 

When it comes to commercial trucks, it is a pay me now or pay me MORE later situation. Expensive to maintain diesels, not just the engine but et al.

Quote from a Semi tractor owner:

"When buying a used truck, I have always been taught that if you are planning over the road,and plan on doing it awhile, look at something around 350,000 to 500,000 miles."

I agree, as have driven tractors with up to 900K on them (I put on most of it and 'baby' all my machines in life) and started having many 'little' probs that kept putting it back in the shop (shocks, air bag, air compressor, etc.).

 

Congrats bro, hope it works out for you. You have the knowlage to make it work and I feel you will be successful at doing it. Keep us updated!
