    How is it there in Gulfport?
    I worked for them years ago and I am thinking about going back.
    I know they can get me home. So many others companies have a problem getting me back to Mobile, Al.

    Never had a problem getting back home. They have accounts all over the gulf coast so even when I'm in Gulfport to get my truck worked on I usually get a quick load to get me closer to home like Bay Minette or Marianna FL.

    If your in Mobile you can probably just leave the truck in Gulfport and commute home. Ask them if they have any openings in intermodal. If they do then you will probably never be more than a day away from home.

    I would say the majority of the loads I picked up and delivered ran between the 6am-11am times. Once and a while I would load in the afternoon and rarely it would be late at night or 12-5am

    Most the time the ones that had those early of pick up times or delivery times were drops and hooks.

    I haven't talked about it but my terminal was shut down. I have been running for Memphis but it isn't the same. I was fully committed to leasing on with them until the closing happened. I will be leasing my truck on with a company here in town that pays a percentage of the load instead. I still recommend Knight as a decent place for company drivers. I was treated good while I was there.

    Sounds good, all of these company jobs are just stepping stones to move on up. Which terminal shut down? I haven't heard anything about it and I was just in Memphis.

    Springdale, AR. They cut almost 200 office jobs nationwide and consolidated operations.
