    That's a bummer. I was relying on that video to win me the best new starlet of 2015 award

    I don't think I'd want a cam on me 24/7.
    Knight though. Good equipment and you can refuse dispatches if you want to avoid a state.

    Depends on where you live in relation to each companies terminal. The closer you live to a terminal (within driving distance I mean) can really change how home time works, since all they need to do is route you to the terminal instead of your house in the middle of wherever.

    Knight is a bit smaller of a company, but from what I've read in the Knight forum they have a pecuilar maintenance program that shafts you out of miles pretty consistently.

    Only true when it applies to truckload freight. In the oilfield, big companies are the best career move. In LTL freight, UPS and ABF drivers are probably at the top of the food chain.
