Knight Transportation, Inc. - Phoenix, Az.

32 hrs to run a 400-600 mile load? That does not sound like a plus to me, unless there was lots of drop & hooks. If they pay the same for a driver with 4 months or 4 years, I guess they are looking for drivers with little experience. Since just about any driver with a couple years experience can find a outfit that pays .36 without waiting a year.

I used to see alot of their trucks layed over down at the 49r T/S in Sac on the weekends. Though most of the drivers I have talked to seem to like it there, so who knows? It might not be a bad place to get some experience under your belt if your are a newer driver trying to get away from swift or werner.

 

I have lots of experience and drove for many truck lines in the past. Most of them are unstable as far as im concerned. I have been with this one over 3 years, I get very cranky and thats mostly the nature of trucking in the first place. Knight realizes this and I am still there strong. Last week I was really cranky and like I said they still appear stable, get some experience and go with them if you want a stable long term job for years and years. If you want to hop about truck lines though forget them and go with the ones that want turn over. Good Luck

 

lmao....boy what was i saying when i first started this post? how good knight was? I think it was my evil twin that made this thread lol

 

What happened KnightRider? Did you lose your "hot" dispatcher?

 

..I almost quit every 3 weeks! ha ha There's good & bad---I'm there for the Express runs (out 5-7 days/home 3-5 days), no forced disp, no out-of-route mile tracking, daily payoff, dont mess with me (no threats!), etc---i.e. the perks---not the $$$. Average mileage is only 350/day with all the short-medium runs and live lds/unlds! But I consider myself "semi-retired' and dont need all that 'filthy lucre!' ha ha Good luck!!

 

no i didn't lose my "hot dispatcher"...... lets just say knight wasn't for me besides that was 4 months ago

 

Good grief...chill out dude.

 

Took 4-months to get you sick of them? That ain't too bad. Who you going to from Knight?

 

It is funny. Driver's post that they hit the jackpot when they go to a new company. A few months later they have either quit, are planning on quitting and have not one good word to say about the company. It's like moving to a new town, meeting some gal that is the love of your life, and then finding out she's the town tramp. Never ceases to amaze me.

 

lol. 4 months huh. Im surprised you made it that long. I cut loose after 3 months.
I ran out of Katy, TX. What a joke this shindig was. TX drivers were supposed to be home every weekend. lmao
Anyway, orientation was a joke. Then they sent everyone out to go track down abondoned tractors. I got a trashed out century class, and was told I would get a new volvo or Pete in 30 days. lmao again.
I remember a couple times I decided to stay out over a weekend, because I was told I could make some extra money. Id hustle to drop on a Friday, and sit until Monday for a load. Of course I wouldnt get layover pay, because they would dispatch me on a load that picked up on Monday, hence, I was under a load.
When I did have hometime, they wouldn't even deadhead me 2 hours to get to the house, if they did it was reluctantly, and wouldnt pay deadhead miles when I came back out and picked up a load in my own town.
What a joke.
