    On your pay sheet the following days appear.
    6th
    7th
    8th
    9th
    10th
    11th
    12th
    13th
    14th

    That is 9 entries. I'm not stupid. I don't care what you make. But it was a newer driver asking about Knight and Gordon and you misrepresented a 9 day pay sheet as a week. And fyi the calendar doesn't work like that i.e. 14-7=7. Not working with inclusive days.

    I stand by what I said. You made $1479 during 9 days of employment.

    In the first column it shows the 7th to the 14th. this when i got paid. The second column shows when the loads were submitted Which shows the 6th to the 12th. Now if you take another look at column 1 you will see it is only 7 days in between the 7th and 14th. and what about column #2. Now please make sure you count those days too please. Nowhere is there 9 days.

    Ok I believe that "week". Since you say that is average, that means you make $76,000+ at Knight. W2 says ??

    I am lucky, i get a dedicated run going from Westampton, NJ to Canton, MI. When i get to Canton i get to park behind the reciever and get unloaded while i am still off the clock. From there i go pick up a load somewhere within 100 miles usually then drive right back to pennsylvania or Jersey. Most of the time i can make 3 trips a week and sometimes more. When i do my 34 i try to do it out in Canton, mi because i arrive the night before and i am off the clock, line 5 it over to a truck stop 15 miles away and i am still off the clock. Just got to do one more 0100 - 0500 in order to get my 34 reset. Actually just got to do a 24 to get my 34 in lol. By no means is Knight perfect but until i decide to leave i am just going to try and keep things in a positive perspective. Will things go wrong from time to time? Yes. Yet i could sit in the driver's lounge and ##### and moan all i want but i do not need to do that. There is always going to be something wrong but it depends on the person and how they are going to look at it, correct it or try to deal with it. I do know if i am down for the day then my dispatcher is down one driver and he doesn't like it either because it will hurt them in the wallet also.

    Judging from your posts, you are going to do well as a truck driver. With your attitude, you will do well in life all around. When the time comes for you to go to a different trucking company, it most likely will make an excellent impression that you stayed with Knight as long as did, while maintaining a decent outlook about it.

    GOOD LUCK TO YOU!!
