Knight Transportation, Inc. - Phoenix, Az.

That's interesting i drove for them and NEVER had any of these problems, i even drove for that terminal.
Maybe the problem is you, I know one thing for sure you need to use a spell checker.

 

Driving longer with more miles then you. No rookie here.

 

I was going to pass this one by, because some things just stand out in your post that speaks for itself, but what the heck...

Driver, you have some issues. Whatever made you quit a position of 11 years, and then to slither through 3 companies in as many months, stands out more than your report about those four companies. And I can tell you that your future is not going to look any better because of it.

You see, I'd be much more interested in understanding what led you to quit Wal-Mart after so long a period of time. It's obvious from what you offer about all these other companies, that none of them could begin to compare to the job you left.

Six days of service with Heartland. An incident where you were suspected of having a handgun at an interview with Crete Carrier, then you made threats to them to facilitate getting you home, after of course, cussing at someone. Then we read this diatribe of how you have filed all these complaints and are supposedly going to bring down Knight Transportation.

Now, because your post is so muddied with all kinds of charges that don't really make sense, you might want to take a little time to clear up a few things, because I am not buying it for a second.

The DOT has no interest, nor any authority to investigate per-diem arrangements that a company desires to make or force upon it's drivers. That is an issue that the IRS controls, and unfortunately, they allowed this to become perfectly legal, and it is exploited every day by many companies to reduce their business taxes. I don't like it, and have studied it, but accepted it for what it is, and do my little deed each year to make the best out of it that I can for myself.

Knight Transportation does indeed suffer some safety issues at the moment. Notwithstanding that fact, your post doesn't really make a good case for informing anyone of what the problems might be, or even if there are any, because you have clouded it with all of this other stuff that makes you look foolish.

As a fellow human being, I'm more concerned with you, and I hope that whatever the situation is, that you can move on from all of this and overcome what has you so torqued up, because that's what I am reading up above and sensing.

Wal-Mart is not going to compare to any other trucking job out here in the OTR segment. You're not going to find a company that treated you, or paid you like Wal-Mart did. That's the bottom line. They don't have a 5% turnover rate for no reason.

If you are cannot or are not willing to retreat and go back to what you had, then you're going to have to sit down and figure out what it is that you are seeking, and then do the homework necessary to find a decent company that meets the standards you seek. Because otherwise, a few more job hops there, and no decent company is going to take a look at you. I'm sure you have realized this yourself.

And if I were you, I'd be looking at my DAC report, because you're going to have some issues on it for sure. Repairing that is going to be in your future, and probably sooner than you would like.

Now, there are a lot of kind people who haunt these forum halls, who would be glad to take some time to guide you in the right direction. I hope you are not too crusty around the edges, because of all this vast experience you have, to understand that you're going to have to soften those hard edges just a wee bit.

I wish you the best.

 

Don't let the few outway the many there driver. You have only experienced the attack of one forum noob and one forum admin that shouldn't have edited your post unless it had improper content. Please don't accept this as the representation of the forum as a whole. It was just a bad first impression there are alot of good people here. If you still choose not to return thank you for exercising your rights.

 

so W.H. why did you give up wally world. they ar supposed to be on of the elite companies to drive for. that is from what i have heard.

 

Actually, White Horse, you did authorize appropriate changes to be made to your posts, as a part of the TOS you agreed to when you logged in and registered with the site. Any of the mods or admins that saw your post and read the phrase/epithet you used would have made the same change to your post. There are standards of language and behavior expected here, and that standard was upheld by Turbo, since you chose not to uphold it.

As for your statement that you have logged a complaint with every agency that has control of federal regulations and the fact that you have hired a lawyer, best of luck with this. It's a real challenge for any lawyer to succeed when his client is a multiple time former disgruntled employee, but maybe you will be successful. I will be watching the papers for the results of these lawsuits and the upcoming changes to the industry as a result of your suit.
