As long as you live far enough from the terminal, yes. I do not know what the mileage limit is though. I live 5.5 hrs from Indy so my truck goes home with me.
Driver give it some time. You started with Knight two weeks ago. You haven't seen nothing yet! The further away you get from Katy the more you will get shafted. That 1400 mile load to Carlisle might look good but if you pick up on Wednesday, deliver Friday and then wait until Monday for your next load then that 1400 miler wasn't so good after all. An 800 mile load to Atlanta would be better actually. You might get moving quicker however Atlanta likes to have drivers pick up battery loads off the yard and deliver them next door to O'Reilly Auto Parts. Quick unload and the pay for that one is an empty trailer. Also you might end up going to So Cal and live unloading. They will then tell you to drop your empty at a customer and then good luck finding another empty to get out of there. You had better be going over your paystubs with a fine tooth comb. They call them "mistakes" but after awhile you realize, if they truly are simple payroll "mistakes" then they must have some real idiots working in there. Seriously just wait and you too can count the many ways Knight sucks the life right out of every driver as well. Then you will understand why you will never meet another Knight driver that's been there longer than a month. From what I am reading here Knight has changed one iota..nada..same ol Knight it always was.
my apartments are only maybe 15mins with traffic away from the terminal and being that there is truck parking allowed on the street next to where i live, i park my truck at on that street ...no one every said anything. i was told that if you are going to take off more than 5 days than you have to leave the truck at the terminal.
this is just something that i will have to learn for myself... i will be driving locally for knight starting in January so i believe i will be then paid by the load not by miles.... today was my first unproductive day though... only ran a 130miler because there was no freight in the area that would keep me in my comfortzone so i just sat all day.... i'm somewhere i like so i didnt mind so much, but it's all good.
Your ignorance of Knight is just too blatant! Parking your tractor in any street is a violation of their 'sitting duck rule'--ask your DM, hotshot...and, btw, Knight will hold YOU responsible for any vandalism to your tractor pending unauthorized public parking, as well as liability for children playing around on it and getting hurt! Enjoy your short time at Knight.... NOTE: You keep giving out lots of bad & false info..misleading the gullible who read your 'stuff!'
Having lived in TX for 19 yrs (DFW area & W. TX), I only have one comment: "Can anything good come from Houston?!"
