    Gotta be a blind 51 year old not to see a truck on the side attempting a u turn. Probably wanted to beat it like some people try beating the train crossings and loose.

    Makes no diff to Knight...the Knight driver is screwed!!

    Plus if he planned on making a U-turn on a Hwy, and admits it to Knight, he is "toasted screwed!"

    By who? Knight.

    Law officers said no charges.

    Yeah, Knight! Do you work for Knight? It's in their Driver Orientation Book..Knight has the most ridiculous Sitting Duck policy in the entire world..altho, if this was on a major Hwy, would be the same as most other trucking co.s.

    Knight also demands that if at anytime one 'must stop' along a roadway for a breakdown and cannot get off the road, they must "immediately" put out their triangles...not the 5 mins that DOT gives to do. So 'pausing' along side the roadway also violates their triangle policy even if one wants to 'momentarily' checkout a Qcom msg, weird running sound, etc.

    Sorry, was told 5 mins but book says 10 mins..also that the rig flashers must be on until triangles are set.

    Not to mention Knight will fire you on the spot if they catch you making an U-turn.

    I met a guy in Tulare that was waiting for them to give him a ride in the van to Grayhound so he could catch the bus home to Olive Branch. Got caught making a U-Turn on K street just north of the yard by Casey. Guess he forgot something at the yard. When he got back to the yard Casey was standing at the gate and told him to park it and come directly to his office.

    Knight was at least nice enough to get the guy his ticket home.
