R and D's big adventure at Knight Transportation. Wait, really? Yes Knight!

You guys are moving right along. Good luck to both of you. I love when they call collections before they even bill you. I guess $2800.00 is still cheaper than going through a driving school.

How long until they would let you become a trainer? See if they can make an exception and let you train her.

 

How long have you been married ? Seems if she isn't trained by now, she never will be. ; - )

Im an ex-knight as well. Heading back to KC to go thru orientation again Monday. Given a choice, I would select a different company, but on short notice, I need to just get in a truck quick. I spent the last 18 months delivering beer, and the only good things about it was, home every night, and free beer. I really do not look forward to going over the road again, but have no choice. Keep us posted on your progress. I know that a trucking company is only as good as you make it.

Hi there. First post. Thought I'd try to make it a useful one... (I'm a wannabe, FWIW)

RizenPhoenix, you may want to check out this thread, if you haven't already.

It basically is stating that it is against EEOC law for a trucking company to require a female trainer to train a female driver.

Good luck to you both.

 

I don't understand this? The company makes you pay for items that they should provide? Obviously, something just isn't right here at Knight. Makes no sense. I've been doing this a long time and have never had to pay for anything. I've never done OTR but why would a company charge you for items that should be provided to you to do your Job? I don't get it? Please fill me in.
