    How'd your drug test turn out at school ? wouldn't worry about it, should be ok..
    Personally I'd let all those activities go, its the past...

    drug test passed no problems. Thanks for the advice dca!!! Very much appreciated. You're right about letting it go. Thank you for taking time out of your day to advise me that means a lot.

    I'm sorry I can't (won't) answer that, for one, I am not employed by Knight nor I ever been - I hear good and bad about a lot of companies - I think that's your decision - I will say perhaps it's a place to start or perhaps you may find another that better suits your needs..

    I worked for Knight Refridgerated for a little over two years. The only reason i quit was because they went to electronic logs. This was a few years ago so i don't how things are over there right now. But if they hadn't gone to electronic logs i had plans on staying there. If they will hire you i would say it is probably one of the better large companies you could work for. My advice would be to work for the refridgerated side of the company. They pay better and they run better miles than the dry side. I worked out of the Idaho Falls terminal, and they were some of the nicest people i have ever worked with in trucking.
     
    nosay3479 Thanks this.

    If some one held a gun to my head and said work at knight again I'd tell em pull the trigger if I did work there again I'd drive my truck off a mountain. If I was working at knight again it would take me a hour to figure out I was in hell
