Knight/Squire Transportation

I have a question about Knight Transportation, especially their finishing arm Squire Transportation:

I want to do their training program.

I already have my CDL A. However, I haven't driven since Summer 2011. Am I qualified to start their training program or do the require a minimum of driving experience? Do I need to attend a Refresher Course prior to be hired as a trainee at Squire Transportation?

You're certainly best off contacting them directly to find out your options, but assuming there isn't anything major to scare them away and you live in their hiring zone, I would think they would be happy to have you.

You'll have to do at maybe a two week course depending on your home terminal , it can vary form terminal to terminal it seems but I would count on them making you do the full 6 weeks but you can get out of that if the trainer feels you have the skills to go solo. I was given a choice to get out of the trainer truck after 4 weeks but I enjoyed my trainers company so we just kept on trucking for 2 more weeks but as for graduating from Squire it works by miles and that is one thing you can't get out of.

I believe at 10,000 miles you move on to the next step of their Squire pay grade then at 20,000 you move up again and get a .01 bump and then after 30,000 miles you finally get to become a Company driver.

Contact a recruiter and don't make any quick choices, make sure to ask a lot of question and if you don't have any hold on from committing then come back after you have thought everything throughly and then decide.
