Decided To Go With Knight...

Haven't posted in a while, sooo.... after moving out west, I updated my application with Knight, and the process moved along very quickly. I completed their orientation, was officially hired yesterday, and started range training today; already did a straight back, offset back to both sides, and parallel park - didn't say I did them well, but the trainer said I was doing ok. He was happy to see me on the pad today, all the other 'noobs' in my class are starting on Tuesday (today was optional). I'm also going in tomorrow, a more senior guy who's currently on the pad is going over his pre-trip, and asked me if I wanted to come in. Thought I'd throw a few things out there -

1. The class I was in lost at least 3 people right before the drug test, and I think Knight may indeed be going back a full year - I had 90 days worth of head hair, about 2 inches long - they took armpit hair from me, and I believe most others in my group as well;

2. Knight is also moving toward a fleet of all automatic transmissions, that's all they are buying right now (I think I heard about 2 more years and they should have very few manuals left...);

3. First day impression - Hope I get an Automatic early on, shifting is kicking my @$$...lol

Knight student here as well, out with my trainer. Which school are you at? I may well see you when I get back.

If you're at the school in Indy, Kenny can get you lined out on shifting in about 15 minutes on the road.

I'm in Phoenix...

Right on. We'll be rolling through there tomorrow as a matter of fact. Welcome to Knight, have fun and keep the shiny side up. Knight has been a great company thus far and I did quite a bit of research before making my choice.
