Yes. I am still with Knight

For what its worth, yes I am still with Knight. I havn't been on here in a while so I thought I would see what is happening. I see the usual suspects are still on their rampage about Knight. Good for them. It is still a free country with a 1st amendment ( for now anyway ) but that's for another time. I am not here to be a cheerleader for Knight but for the most part I am content. I have enough time with them to voice my opinion with validity. That being said I call Bullcrap. I do not believe half of the claims of injustice I read. The truth is the ones yelling the loudest are the victim of their own demise. Lets face it, a large percentage of truckers (including Knight) are not the sharpest knives in the drawer. They do the most stupid things and get pissed when the company takes action. I see the comments on everything from Knight is unfair to they haul cheap freight. I don't agree with some of the things Knight does but at the end of the day it is their company. They provide the truck, insurance, permits, fuel etc.

The comments on the cheap freight I don't understand. Freight is freight. If you are a company driver it pays the same whether you are hauling recycled paper or beer and the pay is the same whether you are empty or loaded.

I have also read the post's about crappy Knight dispatchers and that is true. Although I have been very lucky as mine has been very good. However, there are crappy ones but that is true with every trucking company. The truth is, the problem usually isn't with the dispatcher but with the planning dept. If the dispatcher gets faulty details from the planner, they will pass that bad info to the driver. It happens, it is what it is.

So anyone looking for a job at any trucking company, go ahead and read these post's. But don't base your decision on misinformation and disgruntled ex employees. In my opinion, I take what I read with a grain of salt. As a general rule I don't believe half the stuff I read here.

So anyway, thought I would put my 2 cents in and say happy trails.

To all the folks reading these posts and trying to figure out which company to work for. I would stop by truck stops and actually talk with truckers and ask them how they like the company they work for. Hear it straight from the horses mouth so to speak. Once you start driving You might go through several companies before you find the right fit or you may get lucky and find a company as I did and not have to switch.

Like I said, don't believe everything you read.

Goodbye until next year......Peace out bruddah
