    You've been there a year already... how long do you have to stay at only .21cpm? Mileage pay is deceptive. You can make .50 cpm, but if you only run 1000 miles a week you aint making nothing. My personal feeling on a situation like this is that you knew how long you would have to give the company in service to pay back the company for training, you should live up to that agreement before you leave.

    What Biscuit said! Also, take a long hard look at some of the threads about Knight on this forum.

    After that, if you decide to jump ship for Knight...:biggrin_25513:

    You REALLY need to read the thread on Knight, CR England and the rest before you jump into this cesspool of a job! .21 a mile? ROFLMAO!

    Those 3 I just mentioned are BOTTOM FEEDERS! They'll make you sit for a few weeks while they "talk" you into a fleece program designed to make them money but you get the shaft! And Knight will do that just as fast as CRE!

    I still can't figure out how after a year you haven't paid back that school? That had to be a ripoff! How much more could you possibly owe them?

    I agree with freebird lol, On there web site its saying 32 cpm for 0 experiance (student) i would think, for a year with a 3cpm increase after 2500 miles???? do they take school out in cpm?

    I would pay the school off and then go find a new job. Knight and england will still be around when you are clear and free from your current employer.

    So what you are saying is you are thinking about paying to go to Knight ? And you expect more home time and more money ? Say you could get 12 cents a mile more . How many miles would you have to drive to pay off the school costs ? Don't forget you'll lose some of that 12 cents to taxes .
