    I was told by a certain someone in Phoenix whom has shown to be clueless that when I stated 2700mi week shouldn't be a problem obtaining his answer was this.."those kinds of miles are no longer achievable in this business, a realistic goal to shoot for is...2100mi/wk"...I laughed and hung up on him.

    Some must of sued them or they got some sound legal advice because the new status quo is no free work. As usual, Mileage may vary depending on your terminal and division.

    They used to allow you to drop a loaded trailer at a terminal that had to much time on it. Then they would have you pick up a loaded trailer for a local delivery and there was no pay for that. They basically said it was a continuation of the load you dropped and should be grateful for an empty trailer.

    Lmao!! 2100? Yea set your sights low. Although I guess my company must be a dying breed because my last week had OVER 4,000 miles on it. I brought home 1500. And that isn't a uncommon number for me to make... Point is FIND a company that pays higher than slave wages. .32 is slave wages. Do plenty of research there are company's out there

    I am very interested in getting some information about Knight. I am wanting so bad to dive into this new journey I will need to attend the squire program I am concerned about my lack of job history I have been a stay at home mom until recently. I have no criminal history no tickets and never used drugs and never will!

    Just put on the app you where a stay at home mom. If they ask for proof show them your kids birth cert and school records. My wife had no problems coming on board to train with the same hole in her work history.

    I visited Knight Transportation in Indianapolis , Indiana last month when I was in the USA. I talked with them about the school and driving and everyone seemed real nice.

    But you hear good and bad about all companies.

    I am working and living in South Korea at this time but plan on moving back to the states soon and driving for someone.

    Please keep us posted on your progress and good luck.
