I worked for them at one time and for the most part was treated well. I made good money, was kept moving while I was out, and got home 99% of the time when I was suppose to.
The equipment is pretty decent. Most tractors in van fleet are or soon will be 660/670 Volvo's. There are still some Century Class running around and a few Pete's. Most Pete's are in the reefer division. Do a search on Knight here on CAD. It has been discussed at length. Feel free to ask any questions you may have either here or shoot me a private msg and I will answer what I can.

From what I understand, Knight was started by somebody who worked with Swift years ago. Looks like they really take care of their equipment. I've yet to see a Knight truck that looked like it was run through the wringer, lol.
