Thank you I can't wait to get back behind the wheel and see the rest of this beautiful country
Ive always been curious about Knight. I hear alot of bad things about the company BUT the company cant be all bad since its such a strong history. There are a few thing about Knight on YouTube, and if your serious about running with them, then Id tell you to find out as much as possible about the company, ask questions to recruiters, and get the low down... Aside from that... Good luck with them!!

Sounds like I'd consider the source of the complaint. They are probably disgruntled and don't recognize that their poor attitudes contributed to their circumstances. I've seen similar ones about Swift and there are at least three drivers here employed by them. One got a brand new 2015 tractor just off of training and another landed a sweet gig on a dedicated account for Marvel Universe. I'm waiting to go to school for Swift on Nov. 24th and the prevailing advice I get is to come prepared with a positive attitude, strong work ethic, and a willingness to learn.
I work for Knight and they've been great so far. I'm training on a salary of $400.00 a week until I go solo but for the past two weeks they've paid me $50-100 more than what I suppose to get paid just for inconveinces with loads. Simple things.
Also I think it depends solely on your dispatcher to make it a pleasant company to work for or not.
Dispatcher:
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.New Reply:
