DONT DO THAT, make sure you give and work out your 2 weeks notice! It will suck, and they will go out of their way to make it suck...BUT you and i both know Knight will Destoy your DAC if you dont, make sure you get EVERYTHING in writting and take lots of pictures of your truck when you turn it in, make sure its CLEAN inside and out even if you have to pay the $30 for a Blue Beacon to wash it. No matter how pissed you get, dont let yourself do that, always leave on the best terms you can even if you dont want to drive anymore....leave it as a option.
As far as the exhaust goes, if while driving its BAD inside yes do not drive it, trust me you'll get very sick, been there done that.

If Knight tries to destroy my DAC, I will contest it and sue the #### out of them.
This company has deliberately sabotaged me. I can never reach the appropriate hotline people when I need them.
Knight always tells me to keep driving... wether it's 3 blown tires or an exhaust leak or a broken windshield.
I'm done doing what they say. I'm done risking my license and the safety of myself and those around me.
This is THEIR problem. THEY need to step it up and FIX THEIR ####!
Their phone system is set up to cause me to never get through. I sit for a minimum of an hour at a time just trying to get ahold of my DM. If it's breakdown or payroll, I RARELY ever reach a live person. I normally get directed to a voicemail that isn't set up, so that's what the recording tells me "the voice mailbox for this extension is not set up, GOODBYE!" Then I hear a click and I die a little more on the inside. -
I am ABSOLUTELY NOT giving them anymore service unless they FIX MY TRUCK or BRING ME A SAFE TRUCK.
I'm not asking for much.
If this is too much for Knight, then they don't deserve my service. I already work for crap pay and I spend too much time down. I've never gotten a quarterly bonus and I'm already on track to not get this one in March, either.
I have no motivation to work for them anymore. I keep busting my ### and all for naught.
I've also given up sitting on the phone trying to reach a live person... I'm starting to think they have Caller ID and they choose who to answer and who to ignore.
If Knight thinks they can bully me into driving the truck like this, THEY ARE WRONG!Jarhed1964 Thanks this. -
Don't play their game Smaggs. Be cool, don't react and ruin your DAC; win this one. You know how to out smart them. Forget about Sue, that girl likes rich guys.
The Challenger and Smaggs Thank this. -

American TruckerJarhed1964, sammycat, Dna Mach and 1 other person Thank this. -
They do have caller I'd in their phone system. When I used to work there and would call in they would say hey(insert my name here) b4 I even said a word. So more than likely if they know u r pissd they will avoid u to defuse the situation(I don't know why it pi$$es me off more to be ignored)lol. Good luck smaggs and quit the right way. Be careful I have heard stories of people giving their notice then knight firing them out on the road and they have to ride the grey dog home.Smaggs Thanks this. -
I was 700 miles out and told them I quit. One up'ed them with the fact that I was more than willing to purchase the fuel. A load magically appeared delivering about 5 miles from my house. After about a year of thinking it would get better it just kept getting worse. I cringe when I think about working for that company.
So I delivered that load and then had to return their truck. I lived about 20 miles from a yard but was based out of a yard 250 miles away. Went home for about a week got all set up with my new job, where I'm still at, and finally returned that POS truck, cleaned up for the next victim, too those stupid retarded idiots. That was the best day of my life. The day I quit Knight. I'm amazed at these people that chock Knights inadequate existence to "just trucking" yea good luck with that outlook. -
Thanks for all the input

Smaggs,
Use your friends phone to call them. Politely explain the situation and see what they say. I know it must be tough to be in the position you are in but for your sake please do not ruin your DAC. If you feel that bad, send them a message stating that they have your two weeks notice. Good luck.

Hey smaggs knight that f'd upped? Was thinking knight be a choice forms but reading all your post man they seem to be real crappy to say the least. Knight seems to be lousy how can they keep filling seats. Now I'm looking at prime inc for there student traing but have read some bad about them too. Not sure which way to go. Wish you all the best bro and keep the videos going love them.
