I have seen alot of threads about this company but havent really took much of it to heart. So in looking for a new oppertunity I decided to call and see what they had to offer. First thing I ran into is their automated systems promps are incorect. You push a number to go to a certain department and you get another. So I finally get ahold of someone in Phoenix and try to ask some very basic questions. The Lady had a bad attitude but it wasnt affecting me. I just kept being polite. Seemed the more polite I was the more she got mad. Anyways back to the questions. So I asked like I said simple things like are you hiring drivers right now? She ask's for what. I replied for driving class A trucks. She says what division? I said I'm not picky what divisions do you have and which have emediate opinings? I told her I'm pretty flexable and always up to learning something new. Well to make a long story short she replies, That she didnt know! So I asked about their container fleet. I was given a number to call in California. So I called the number. Same thing with the phone system. It said if I you want to speek to a recruiter press 3. I did. No! A recruiter did'nt answer, A guy named Art did. He seemed friendly but as soon as I started to ask questions he cut me off and said I would have to speak to a recruiter. Well I explained the phone system prompt error. Then asked if I could speak to one. He said yes he would transfer me. So he did and I waited. For 15 minutes nothing. So I hung up and called back after a little while. Figuring they could be busy. Ran into the same thing. Bad prompt, Got Art, Transferred than nothing. Then I call back again. After being told the recruiter was their, Now Im told he's on lunch. WTH! Well, No big deal. This went on all last week! Crazy. I called in everyday last week just trying to get some basic info. I dont know if its me but everyone I talked too sounded ghetto. Whats the deal with this company?

After working at Knight for just a few months many, many years ago, it became obvious that Knight runs a skeleton crew at all terminals, but with a 'few' bones missing! They hire competent people in the office, in most cases (altho most are hard-up for a job, green college graduates with NO experience in the trucking industry), and take these normally competent people and put them in positions of performing 'incompetently.' That's why most DM's leave within 3 months, some that make that period are promoted to Safety or Recruiting, and then might last up to 1 full year before being burned out with the 'rat race' operational environment.
Knight's bottom line is to make $$$, and all casualties are considered as normal business............very, very sad that 'many' American corporations have come to this!
