Hi Crazy Rebel,

Did you go to a private CDL school or a company training school to begin with? Did you drive for someone else before Knight? I have heard that some company schools will train you then give you the miles until after you complete time with your trainer then they cut your miles because they need to keep the new drivers busy.

I just had Prime call me to join them in their reefer division starting at $600 week for 6 weeks then .41 mile with 2300-2600 miles a week.

I was thinking dry van originally and Knight was my first choice.

Thanks for your input and help

Hi Bret,

I do not have any DUI's ever and not even ticket since the accident 13 years ago. The hit skit as I mentioned (the parked car 5 houses from mine) and I did not take a breath test when asked (thinking I was innocent until proven guilty etc. WRONG on my part)

I just think it's strange for a company to not hire because you failed to take a breath test even when not found guilty afterwards over 13 years ago. But the same company will hire you if you have up to 2 DUI's as long as they are over 5 years old.

I am going to pay the $100 to remove it from my record and then I can say "I never had a ticket of any kind"

Thanks for your insight. I love this site and think it's a great resource for anyone interested in trucking.

Hi Michael,

I am looking into Knight as well. I spoke with a recruiter today and let them know what I was looking for and they seem to always say "YES, YES, YES!" to everything I ask for. It would be great if a few drivers from Knight would see this post and reply. Best info is from current drivers and NOT the former drivers with a grudge.

Best of luck to you,

Stacy

Hello Everyone!

I am just starting my schooling for my CDL and thought I would get a pre hire letter today.

Need help and info. I had a hit skip over 13 years ago (hit a parked car on my street then walked home). Also, I did not take a breath or blood test at the time. No DUI. Fine was $332.00 and not even a speeding ticket since. I spoke with CRST today and they will not hire me. IF I would have had a DUI over 5 years ago I would be fine he said. But refusing to test over 13 years ago and I can't get a job?

Is there other companies that use common sense in this matter? 2 DUI's are OK as long as you don't have 3.

Please help with ideas etc. One person suggested that I get my record sealed/expunged for $100 at the local court house. I think I am going to pay it to get it done but it just seems like there is something wrong with the logic.

Thank you for your help and advice in this,

Stacy
