I have been with Knight reefer since March 2012. I am based out of Idaho falls...I get treated pretty good and get descent miles. I really have no complaints except one (I will get to that)...They work with you if you have issue at home! First time I had a major emergency with my mom and had to take 27 straight days off. A month later, my wife had to have major surgery and i ve had to take 8 days off and plan to return this coming tuesday. The bad part is they reduce your speed if you over idle when its hot...I had to straight loads to Barstow area 112 degrees plus and had to do my 10 hrs rest in the mojave. I idled to sleep and after 2 days my top speed is now 62.8mph. I dont understand that rule cuz i dont abuse the idle time, only when its so FLIPPIN HOT! What are we suppose to do, camp in the drivers lounge of the truck stop?
