I'd turn around and run the other way REALLY FAST! Yes...well, it was supposed to be OTR. Their drop and hooks turn into drop and wait for an empty (or chase down empties and burn up hours) while they sell off 100s of good trailers. Then, there is the famous line "deliver this local load to get an empty" while they pay you practically nothing while it takes you hours to do it....or they might just give you a crappy short load even if you have an empty. You write up problems with the trucks repeatedly and Knight just shrugs and doesn't fix the problems! Basically, between not paying you well and skimping out on fixing safety defects and D.O.T. violations, Knight has a lot of money...but you won't!

madaxeman is right on the money about knight. this company blows goats and i cannot wait until the economy around the phoenix area improves. when it does, i'll run far, far away from this piss poor company.
they're going to buyout western express. what do you think they'll do with all their trailers? i think they'll sell them. even the new ones. they have money to buyout a somewhat large carrier and don't have the money to increase the pay. i made more during the final three months at swift than i have in 7 months here at knight. it's supremely pathetic.
