The people I know that work their  are running their butts off 7-10 days and home for 1.5 -2 days in between. But they are go getters who put in 12-14 hrs a day while they are on the road and have shown themselves to be drivers that can be counted on to service the customers needs and pu and deliver loads on time and safely. A company would be dumb to dispatch first in and first out. They have to match loads with the right driver. Some of their freight incurred heavy fines if the load is late from what I am told. They don't want some driver that is scared to chain or can't read directions or prone to getting to tired to drive after 300 miles rolling time specific frt. Since Knight employs a local relationship with some of their customers it is natural that they would trust drivers they know out of their local terminal to run loads before drivers from far away.   From what I have gathered from talking to knight drivers it is best to stay close to the terminal you work out of so your terminal can keep you rolling These days it is customer first, driver second.  Don't like putting in the long hours and playing the games that being a successful OTR driver require?  drive local like me[/QUOTE]
