Knight reefer drivers?

I appreciate what you can tell me... I was told by the reefer guys that they are not forced dispatch (not a problem if they were but its nice to have options)..

I was told reefer side in idaho falls is good at keeping you moving, if you want to keep moving (which I do) 2400 to 3200 depending on how hot and how hard you like to run.

.33 a mile and higher for shorter runs, plus fuel bonus and quarterly bonus. As well as a production bonus for runnin 10k miles in a month...

Dispatched at 55 mph in 62- 65 mph trucks, so the runs can get real tight. I know the basics I guess and ain't afraid of it... I guess I just am looking for affirmation I'm not lookin to leave one place that treats me ok but keeps me away from my home region for 6 to 8 weeks at a time if i dont demand the *favor* of seein my family, to go to a place that keeps me closer but is a nightmare outfit ya gotta be a cutthroat to make it for. I just wanna work. And at least be close enough to remember where I live. Lol...

Knight reefer drivers?

Looking for some drivers from knight reefer to tell me some about them. I'm with PRIME right now, not unsatisfied with them but with my mothers passing away a couple months ago I'm looking for a place that runs the western 11 and doesn't run their trucks at 55 to 60. I don't trust recruitera as far as I could push a kw with it brakes set. Bottom line main things I want to know is how steady the miles are if ur not picky bout yer runs. How picky they are about routing. General things to look out for, Satisfaction with pay and do they act like you owe them a favor when u take home time. Equipment tips would be good too I've gotten used to my apu and I know they don't have them... might need my own inverter and ten fans lol...

Finding a career start in Idaho

Hi, names too tall, I'm from boise. I had the same issue, all I found was squire in idaho falls, but didn't want to drive for knight transs or england... look into PRIME inc. The training was very very good and their system is very easy for a beginner once u are moved to A seat.. home time is what u make it but its bet ter for ur wallet if u stay out longer... its a good place to start... then once magic year is over for u there are lots of places in idaho to get more regional and or local gigs.. particularly if you go tanker or flatbed.
