Gordon or Knight Transportation?

I got offered a job with both companies. Should I go with one or the other? I'm in Idaho and am trying to get a pre-hire letter to test out next week, but I'm not sure which outfit to go with.

Gordon:
-10 spd, APU, inverters, gov'd at 62mph, .35 CPM + .01 CPM *Hazmat = .36 CPM on the 6th month. End of year, .04 cpm increase = .40CPM with possible .01 cpm safety bonus
= .41CPM.

Knight:
-9 spd, no APU or Inverters, gov'd at 65mph, .37 CPM + .5 quarterly bonus by the 6th month = .42CPM. End of year, possibly .43CPM, more or less depending on your managers review on your performance. --- BUT lets say I don't get the full .05 cpm bonus, instead I earn .41CPM, possibly .42. The bonus has to do with safety, on-time record, and fuel.

Training is 4 weeks for both, Gordon pays $600 a week I believe, and Knight pays $400 a week. Equipment quality should be the same. Miles should be the same.

I've heard a lot of good from Gordon *gti*. I haven't heard much until yesterday about Knight. But I heard our local terminal is pretty cool.

 

Ha-ha... I've exhausted myself... these are the 2 best in my area that is willing to hire a student. The 3rd and 4th in line is May Trucking Company and D&D Transportation. May pays .35 cpm after 6 months, and that's it, with a minimum guarantee pay. D&D can start you anywhere from .33cpm to .42cpm but I've heard good and bad. I'm not risking it with D&D... I need to know my base pay... recruiter may just be throwing that .42cpm to lure me into the pit.

None of the LTL outfits called me back or has told me i need a minimum of... and tankers, not many tanker jobs in my area that will hire a student. Hopefully, after my first year, I can find a good paying job in the oil fields or a OTR tanker job.

 

I just called Navajo. They are out of the question.
Freymiller won't hire me, I can't remember why.

Don Hummer doesn't look like they have a training program for my state, but i'll call them to verify.
Pride had a really low CPM so I rejected them, but i'll call them back again and ask for more details.
I'll call Decker tomorrow.

Thanks China.

 

No experience.
And I just talked to an employee from may trucking... found out they have a bonus program where you can make up to .45 CPM... He's getting 3,000 to 3,500 miles a week...
