You make it at Knight that kind of money?

 

You can not make more then 2200 mi a week at Knight

 

When I get the time, I'll PM you a sample of my stubs.

 

You are O/O or dedicated for Marcy’s to make this kind of money, I make that much money back to 03 true 07 not anymore, dream, dream, dream

 

That is a nitemare i would not want to experience and trust me i have had alot in the past, Not at knight, at universal am can, I am thinking of trying knight refrigerated out but after reading all the bad things about them i think ill look elsewere, As a company driver problem is out of all the companies i have checked only 3 are hiring in my area and they all suck. FFE, knight and crete (crete told me they would make me stay out a minimum of 45 days and only give me 4 days max off) that is not gonna work. Other than that i think Crete is a good company. Dont go to universal am can if you are an owner op, you will loose your truck like i did do to cheap frieght and sitting for a week every other week.

I once sat for a week at home unable to get a load (amarillo tx) then got a good load to fl, sat for a week there, got a ld to ny state sat for 4 days,
I have been driving for 10 years and im trying to find a regular job (non trucking) cause i am fed up with trucking, problem is trucking jobs are the only ones i have found so far. This economy really sucks. and the real unemployment rate is near 22% not 8 or so like the liars in D.C say.
anyway wish me luck, if all else fails ill join the army, at least i can blow #### up and not go to prison for it as a way of letting off alot of frustration

 

I have not been driving since April, and was looking at Knight Refrigerated out of Maple Grpve, Minnesota. After reading what everyone is saying about Knight, I think I will go with the majority, and look at some other company. Didn't sound like fun at all.

 

Knight is basically just a 'transition' co., for those with minimum experience (you'll find many former Swift drivers there), who are desperate or dont know any better, but will eventually wise up and move on to a 'more' reputable co., after getting burned out while gaining some more experience.

Knight really wants drivers who are 1 yr or less in experience, who will put up with their crap (not knowing any better), and drives away those good drivers with 3+ yrs experience and having a good driving record who can find jobs elsewhere that will pay them what they are worth.

You, with your 2 yrs driving experience, having made the decision to avoid Knight, are ahead of your time..!!

 

I tend to agree with you. I have now been here 3 years. rarely sit, i get 2900 to 3200 miles per week. Out of the memphis yard (Olive Branch). The folks at my terminal are great, always treat me well and i don't ever catch any flak from anyone. I run all 48 and dont seem to have any problem getting frieght to haul as i stay preplanned most of the time. I get an occaisional crap load but its usually backed up well so io dont grouse about it.

 

What about the Gulfport MS terminal, any news there?

 

I started with Swift in Feb after I got out of school, but had an accident during my first 240 hours, so was terminated. I need to get back on the road, but so far have not had any luck, I wonder if Knight would be worth it just to get back out till my 1 year wait (no new accidents needed) is up?
