Going to Knight Transportation in Tn.

Do yourself a favor, and search the word Knight. Read away...and see if you don't want to change your mind. It's not too late.

 

Why did you decide on Knight?

 

Well where ur going there is nothing there pretty much but car lots they tell u memphis tn but u are about 10-15mi from ur gonna be in boon docks olive branch ms but I guess no company is perfect right had a friend stay exactly 3months he said they played with his money and never got him home he has 13years exp hope u picked them caz u stay close and plan on doing local if not u need 2 do more research BUT LIKE I SAID NO COMPANY IS PERFECT if u are new have u tried tyson in springdale ar they hire newbies and u start out at,.39mi

 

If you don't mind let me know how it goes. I applied on line last night spoke with a recruiter today, she told me I was good to go to Memphis, TN. for training. I still need to get my Florida permit though.

 

Im curious, I have knight on my top 5 list of places to start with as i will be starting school on Dec. 2. why is knight not a good choice?

 

I Currently drive for Knight out of Carlisle, PA. There will be drivers out there that will bad mouth Knight just because a friend of a friend of a friend told them it is a bad company. These people have never driven for Knight themselves though or they only drove for a few months and never stayed around for awhile to get their feet wet. If you want to go with the Daily pay...This is the easiest way to make sure the loads you run you get paid for. Works for this driver, never had the payroll department mess up my check yet after 1 1/2+ years with the company. Get to know your Dispatcher, sure sometimes you will get the crappy loads but if you do the crappy loads and dont complain your dispatcher will realize your a driver they can count on and you will start seeing the better loads. All trucks will eventually need to get repaired. Take in stride and when it happens find out how long your truck will be down and ask your dispatcher for a loaner truck. Dont sit around and earn breakdown pay. You can make more on the road then sitting in the terminal or hotel. Overall it is a good company, just make it work for you.

 

If you choose C R England after ALL the info available to you on this site, shame on you. Knight isn't great but they are adequate for a newby.
