    You forgot about them paying a reduced rate on deadhead and no fuel surcharge on deadhead. Lots of nickel and dime stuff on related costs as well.

    I was talking to the office people one time and the fuel surcharge they were charging the customer was 56 cents a mile, and the O/O were only getting 32 cents a mile for the fuel surcharge. And yeah, you never want a Knight shop to work on your rig, unless you want to become really friendly with the road service people. One shop did a oil change and forgot to put on the rubber gasket on the filter. At least we know one truck now has complete rust-proofing done on the frame.

    Least they where consistent. The shop kept the company trucks half broken too.

    I got stuck in joliet for almost a week cuz my firat truck broke down there. None of the drivers based out of there that I talked to complained about anything. Nice ladies in the office. Shop guys were ok.. just didn't listen to what I said cuz im a female of course..overall.. not a bad vibe in there.
