    choose whichever has the faster truck EVEN if it is a mere 2 mph. seriously, you'll learn to hate,despise even,a slow truck.I hate them and i've never driven one but then i did not go to a driving school nor did i have to train with anyone. times have certainly changed,huh?

    best of luck man.you are about to drive in the constant cluster of slow trucking-

    I once drove for a slow company and can tell you it was much less stressful sitting in the right lane and not having to worry about constantly changing lanes to pass slower traffic.

    Millis. Knight is a distant cousin of Swift after all.

    Narrowed it down to two companies and Knight made the list??? I'd read through the forum more and broaden your horizons. The good jobs don't advertise. Drive your car around to local places. Build some contacts. I would avoid terms like forced dispatch. Look for good equipment. The more trucks and trailers a company has the more disconnected from reality they become. They have all these employees sitting in climate controlled offices with made up jobs with no clue what it takes to do the job out there on the road.
