My experience with Knight Refrigerated

Today ...........

The Real Adventure Begins !!

Best of Luck Driver !!!

 

Does Knight Refer have a Rider/ Pet policy?

 

Rider policy, yes. Pets, no.

 

What is there rider policy? Age limit, are you allowed more than one passanger? Looking for a carrier that iwould be able to take my wife and daughter with me sometimes. Thanks.

 

I've been a doormat at pretty much every job I've ever had. Now that I'm used to it... I should be fine.

I an interesting delivery last week. The Shipper put the wrong P.O. on the bill.. I was 30 minutes early for my appointment. By the time the consignee figured out their paperwork, an hour went by. They made a note that said "Driver late, Driver issue" on the paperwork for me to sign after unloading me. I called in to figure it out. I did have to sign the dumb paper full of lies, but Knight had my back...

Fortunately, Knight said it was okay. I did my macro on the qualcomm, so they know I'm on time. Plus... I have cell phone records when I called in proving I was on-time/early once we figured out the incorrect P.O. was on the paperwork. Had to wait a while for the shipper to fax the proper paperwork over.

Unfortunately, this is how consignees try to not pay detention, but now I know what this specific customer needs on a piece of paper before I get there. They tried to doormat me, but Knight didn't, so I'm happy.

I'm sure I will have tons of experiences out there where I will potentially hate working as a trucker from time to time, but that kind of thing comes with any job.

This sure beats working a sales job for minimum wage and never getting commission.

Plus... I've gotten to meet some really cool and some really scary folkds out there. Fun times..

 

The adventure begins..... tomorrow. I go in the AM to take another road test.. then I get a truck. Will update tomorrow, then.

 

Yeah, they do have a pet policy. And that policy states no pets may be taken in a company tractor.

 

yeah... that! You can't have pets... that's what I meant when I said no. Thanks, Big Don!

I don't know the specifics of the rider policy. I'm told it can only be immediate family. I don't know if you can take more than one passenger at a time, though.

I'll ask about it tomorrow.

 

when im at work, i try not to complain much, especially about the equipment

the way i see it, the guys who complain all day just get ignored......then when they have a legitimate complaint nobody is listening

i drive junk all day, but it is safe enough for the road so i shut up about it.....but when something isnt safe, like the ICC bumper that was very loose last week, my dispatcher had my back on it, because he knew that when i do happen to refuse a certain piece of equipment or a certain dock, it is legitimate

 

All is good. Passed my road test with flying colors. Getting my own truck tomorrow morning... they're giving me time to put stuff in it and I hit the road solo tomorrow night.
