Looking forward to Knight's Squire program

How true---a trucker's life is like a box of chocolates.

Eating too many chocolates will cause you to develop diabetes and you will die young with many complications.

In trucking, you will live in unhealthy truck stops eating fatty over-sized meals, getting little exercise, and dying around 65 yo if you're lucky!!

Sorry, if reality sucks!

 

I see you've been to Santa Cruz

 

My training begins with Knight on the 8th of September as well. Will you be in training at the Memphis location?

 

@ aecarr my situation is someone similar to yours..I too live in Atlanta...I cant afford to go that long not getting paid...Millis,Prime Inc,Celedon,and Knight are my four..but not sure

 

does Knight check job verifications?can I be accepted with a misdeameanor for possession of Marijauna in March 2009

 

I believe every company uses a PSP now when hiring prospective drivers. Anything on your record will pop up. Be up front about it. If you had a possession charge in the past I hope your are clean now. I believe Knight is now doing hair tests. Any criminal activity on an application could be bad I guess but at least it isn't a felony. You will probably get dozens of answers on here. Best bet is to call a recruiter and ask them directly.

 

Watch your pay at knight...they specialize in not paying a trip...every week and come up with a lame excuse for it...you'll constantly battle to get paid what's owed to you..

 

They will dig and find every little detail about your entire life. Do not lie

 

I was once asked if I could take two trailers from the Hutchins yard to Fort Worth for outprocessing. 49 miles one way x's 4, 198 miles sure why not. They never paid me mileage despite being promised. After about a month of asking them about it they finally gave me $25 bucks for my efforts. Go have fun at Knight, might as well because you won't make much money.

 

Unless there is a paying load (where Knight gets $$) associated with the effort, usually the 'extra' effort on the driver's end is 'rewarded' with a 'good' load following.....might work with a driver's home terminal but good luck with another terminal. Often the logic is: "You're a 'Professional" driver, meaning that you work for the 'joy of the job,' not just as a common laborer!"
