Knight Swift Logistics

Booked a load with me. It took one hour for the set up. Then I found out the load was given to someone else in the meantime.

I don't like when they set you up then give a load to someone else. I could have booked another load in the meantime.

 

I don't want to work with them.
Their practices are wrong.

 

Yes.
It's end of the day. So, practically I lost a day of work for tomorrow. Do you like forced days off?
I'm limited to my schedule, so I'm restricted to what I can book.
I have only Wednesday open this week. It's too late to find a load for tomorrow to be back home the same day.

Practices like that are bad. Since I could have booked another in the meantime when I have seen them available on load boards. But I was kept captive.

 

I knew something went off since the broker stopped answering the phone and responding to the email.
Then when I called the main office I was informed by someone else actually that the load was covered already.
At the end of the day the broker confirmed what I already knew.
I mean---You don't do it to carriers. And if they do, they should let them know right away and not have a carrier wait for nothing.

 

Nope. I don't need more forced days off, especially now.
I learned the Room and Board went up 20% for the new year where my son applied.
He's going to be a Freshman. Now, they are making up for residences halls being closed during the Pandemic by adding 20% more for room and board next school year.
Inflation is killing it for most part. People need to make up for the difference in costs somehow.
