OK, name the good things about Knight.

I like the funny stories I hear from other drivers. Overheard something in Portland the other day about a driver touching himself in a manner that isn't right in public!

 

Or finding out a troll here is a transgendered chubby-chaser!

Holy CRAP, and to think.... that's funny!

 

What trucking company doesn't?

 

At least we know they treat everybody equally like crap!

Pros
Great experience in the Truckload carrier section of the business. Knight gives you the opportunity to cross train in many different areas, and learn how to be a leader in the industry.
Cons
They tend to make you work numerous hours of overtime without compensation. Sections of the company seem to fight against themselves to achieve thier own goals. There is a lot of finger pointing between departments.

Pros
Working in one of the offices, it provided excellent networking. Good opportunity to learn more about the industry, good for refining people skills. Most employees are paid the low end of fair, but still fair. Other than Corporate Office, most locations are relaxed and casual. Most employees are respectful towards each other.
Cons
Pay isn't stellar, the benefits are not great. Drivers are paid by the mile, office/support staff is either salaried or overtime-exempt. Promotion structuring rarely makes sense, and the yearly wage increase is a joke (I got 3 cents an hour increase once). The company watches their bottom line religiously, and may end up putting you in some ethical tight-spots.

Pros
Growing company with opportunity to do a lot of different things. Good place to build your resume and gain experience.There is opportunity to advance if you kiss the right butt and tow the company line.
Cons
Tons of hours, inadequate pay for the work expected, on call 24/7 expectations. Poor benefits package in general; medical benefits are expensive and sub par, the 401k match is a joke. You'll be told that "everyone gets stock options" but the value of those options is very overstated and you have to stay for over 5 years to even think about getting any of the cash out of them. Basically you get paid less than other companies with the premise that you'll "make it up" in opportunity and stock. It doesn't happen - you will always be paid a substandard wage for a very tough carer path. Raises average 2-3% max per year even if you get a great review. If you are promoted, you will be told "you have to prove youself" before you will get the pay raise commensurate with the new responsibility. Lot's of family and church connections that work for the company make it tough on the outsiders.
