Squire Training With Knight Transportation
Topic 1800 | Page 2
Congrats Sandman!
Doesn't it seem strange to go on the road with a trainer for thousands upon thousands of miles and then have to come back to the facility to do a 10 minute road test for the company? I always thought that was odd. It's like, "I just drove tens of thousands of miles across the entire country!" But in trucking there's always on more hoop to jump through!

Dispatcher, Fleet Manager, Driver Manager
The primary person a driver communicates with at his/her company. A dispatcher can play many roles, depending on the company's structure. Dispatchers may assign freight, file requests for home time, relay messages between the driver and management, inform customer service of any delays, change appointment times, and report information to the load planners.
Congrats Sandman, got to be exciting finally getting your own truck.
I have decided to stop waiting for knight to get the school in Indy open and am starting a private school Monday. While I am looking at some other options so far Knight is still at the top of my list, so I may have my own big red truck here in a couple months.
Thanks again for all your updates, it has been great following your journey!

Congradulations on finishing. I just finished the school and am heading out on a 3600 mile run.I also finished Olive Branch and will hopefully be back in Lakeland soon.
Enjoy the run. Sounds like one of the dedicated Cummins runs. Who's your trainer? You can PM me from the profiles if you have any questions.
Congrats Sandman. I just finished the Knight school in Olive Branch. I could not be happier with my choice of companies. We are not just numbers but actually people. I am based in Lakeland,FL. If you get a load this way and have any questions let me know and i will give you some names down here. Good luck out there. Keep the doors closed and the wheels turning and above all be safe!! Like they taught us in school no load is worth the risk EVER...

Just delivered a load of sugar from New Orleans to Baltimore. Unfortunately, I think my DM forgot about me as I didn't have another load pop up on the QC when I sent in the empty call. Not looking forward to being stuck in Baltimore for the weekend, in a truck, with winter storm warnings.
I'm in a Volvo, 522473, maybe I'll see you around.
