For the 5 yrs that I worked for them it was NO PETS! For the company drivers, pets reqd A/C or heat and long idle times as the primary factor. Some pets also caused damage to the inside cab of 'their' trucks. But policy was also carried over to their O/O's due to 'safety concerns'...Knight is NOT pet friendly, and I once heard of a lady O/O who snuck in her old, well-trained dog who was her best friend and considered a 'family member,' and was fired later when discovered...

Ouch. Looks like US is looking better. Thanks.

The big negative that I heard about USX a couple of years ago was that they charged drivers for any running out-of-route. Including avoiding any bad weather! Knight never did that to me, and I (any many of their drivers) ran OOR often, avoiding I-70 during winter, as well as the L.A. freeways by going north on CA58 and taking the 'back roads' of the high Mojave desert..
Good luck! When it comes to working for any of the national carriers...it's a crap shoot!---pending terminals, terminal mgr, and particularly your DM.

Agreed on the damage some pets can do. Many co's will charge an 'un-refundable' pet deposit to the drivers of their trucks for general cleanup, etc. Altho I never understood the O/O restrictions...but with Knight, safety is everything...well, other than delivering on-time freight.. -
We'll I started looking at them when I seen a job posting talking bout home weekends. Any truth? What about pay. I live in nc right off 95 so not sure what term is closest. Thanks for all the info so far.

As far as the OP's question about pets, I've seen a few in Knight trucks. (2 or 3 out of the thousands that I've seen.) Not sure if they were "legal", or not, but one woman I did talk to said she had an OK from them.
Maybe it's on an individual basis?
