knight transportation

Does knight pull trailers in the shop and fix them? No. Lean on the real problem friend

 

I was on a first name basis with the guys at the Petro shop in wheeler ridge because of all the crap I used to find at IKEA. IKEA finally wised up and started doing an inbound inspection.

 

No...leaving broke trailers that you're aware of for the next drivers is dispicable behavior...you're the exact type of driver that needs to find another career..

Flat out you're just a LAZY driver...no bones about it!!!...don't call yourself a professional because professionals don't do this type of lazy behavior.

 

I am a professional driver. I get paid to drive period. If the company wanted me to take trailers to the shop. They should pay me for it. I am kind and courteous. Just don't ask me to waste time at the shop when I can be out on the road making money. On the other hand...You seem to be the kind that wants something for nothing. Now who is the lazy one???

I work for the money I get!


Sorry for my tactfulness friend, It's a money thing.

 

101 ways to leave an MT. (5)

I was dropping an MT in Texas. The meat plant security told me my load was not READY. Oh no! this is Sunday before thanks giving. I sign in and I am nice to the plant staff. They told me they have a loaded trailer ready to go. What release number is it, maybe dispatch will let me take it? 7xxxxxxxxxx2. I went to my truck waited five minutes, went back inside and gave them the release number. I hooked on and took it out of the yard and called dispatch and told them I picked up the wrong load by accident.

On Wednesday night before thanksgiving I got a call on my cell phone. the meat plant told me my load is ready to be picked up. I was snug as a bug in a rug at home for thanksgiving. Another poor driver lost his load to me and had to get that load.

It is always good to be nice to the shippers.

 

###### Boy!

Well what else could you say?

 

Just writing about the fun of OTR

 

Help me out, Write 101 ways to leave an MT. (6) You must have had some fun out there.

 

I never can figure out why you would steal an MT from a main DC that ships loads to stores to go pick up a Cheap and Heavy load. I mean really, stealing trailers from Ikea or Amazon or *whatever store pays more money per mile* to go pick up a ultraheavy CH Robinson load which pays a huge percent less per mile. Somehow getting a $1.13 a mile 46,000 pound load is better than getting a $4.00 a mile plus fuel surcharge 20,000 pound load.

As for the trailer knightmares, I love hooking up to a trailer that just got serviced at a shop, only to find a completely ruined tire on it. I swear it's easier to get a Mormon out of their magically underpants than a set of tires from Knight.

 

It's not that hard, you just have to marry one.
