    I think this is a great idea that someone who works with drivers in an office setting, goes home every night, sits down and has dinner with his or her family and has more time to relax at home actually goes out with a driver and experiences the road life with another driver. This should be part of the training videos that ALL office employees including payroll should watch.

    I'll consider driving for Knight. I Like the way they encourage drivers to take their breaks at company terminals instead of regular truck stops to have a sense of security. And Knight has good equipment and good top of the line trucks. so count me in.

    As a 20+ year veteran of the trucking industry and a video producer, I have to say good job Knight. You have the bravado to put forth the initiative to combine office personnel and drivers on the front lines AND video the journey. This is something that the trucking industry is slow to respond to. This is how you recruit in 2016. I know how much time and effort is needed in this type of video. Whoever you have paid to shoot and edit this just earned their paycheck 100%
    Good job all the way around...

    As a former trucker and a former Knight driver, I really appreciate what this guy did. This should be mandatory for all dispatchers and most upper leadership as well. There is nothing worse than being stuck with a immature dispatcher that obviously has never left home trying to tell you about certain things out on the road. It's good to walk a mile in the shoes of those you will have so much control over. I really enjoyed my time with Knight so it doesn't really surprise me that someone in this good trucking company would do this. Good people make for a good company.

It was many years ago but I still remember how much I enjoyed driving over the road and I do miss it, but I could not do what I did then, I've gotten older and much softer.. Much kudos to the men and women making our deliveries so that we can enjoy life!

    What a great video. I like the fact management is getting in the trucks and running with their drivers. If you have been a driver and went into management that's great. Just NEVER forget your roots and treat drivers with the respect they deserve. There is no perfect company and no perfect driver, so don't criticize the company or driver. I drove for 15 years and went into the fire service for better money and to be home more. Retirement is just around the corner and I will most likely go back to driving. Driving is the best job I ever had and I would be willing to give Knight a try, especially if the benefits are good and it looks like they might be. Great videos!

    I heard about knight and Swift merging together. I trust in the Knight brother's ability and business skills to attract new drivers. I also have considered Swift as well. But I'm more drawn towards Knight. And I will put in the effort and determination to be a good, safe driver, and establish a bond between me and my driver manager/dispatcher. And I believe The knight Brothers can improve Swift and make her a better carrier and they do have a flock of good drivers to do it.

I always got the feeling that very few of them that were higher than drivers actually cared. T.J was one of them.

As for not being just another driver, well that is BS!!! When I left to work for another Truck company, I am pretty sure there was already another person driving the POS rig I had when I was with Knight/ Swift Transportation.

    Ok today I had my opinion of who is "just a driver" proven to me, so here's where your vp's viewpoint should IMO change. I had one of my own drivers blow past me in a shippers yard because he was frustrated he couldn't turn around and back in where he was at, then he clogged the whole shippers yard up because he couldn't back up, to top it all off he stole my assigned empty from the shipper without telling them! That to me is just a driver that doesn't care about any other driver!!!! A professional drive is patient, considerate, and helps other drivers out! What was funny to me was that driver got reported by me and the shipper and had to bring the trailer back to me!!! :) I was on a dedicated drop and hook run to this shipper. So that to me is what the difference is between just a driver and a professional driver is.

So they literally stole money from me: That is why I am no longer there! I'm an employee: Not a volunteer, so yeah, I have an expectation to be compensated for the work that I do!

    When you first go/report there for training? Can you start at the terminal of choice ? Or does it go by closest terminal to the zip code on your drivers license? Great Video by the way very informative, detailed, well done! Congratulations too the person/persons that made it .😊

    I've enjoyed driving jobs in England. Not semis but LWB Mercedes sprinter vans. Used to drive the length of the country and sleep in the van regularly. Was good fun whilst I did it, but what stopped me going back to it was the heavy heavy manual lifting that came with it. Getting too old for what they expected.
    Good way to see your country and different scenery. Take a mate or even more fun a girlfriend !! 😁🙏

    A terminal that has a shower that’s definitely a luxury. Of course I very seldom spent a night in a terminal. Get your trailer and hit the road

    at 5:44 mns Hum !!! This driver should keep both hands on the wheel, he n; not in his living room to think about what to do!
    If an obstacle that stands before him he can not avoid it!

    Only way you can get me with knight is if all their trucks come with a fridge, inverter, and APU. I had none of that when I started with Werner and now I have all 3 and I'm spoiled now lol. And 400 miles per day? I usually drive about 550-630 miles per day depending on the load

    Anyone that has any dealings with drivers should have to do this on a regular bases. If not having to drive for themselves.

    I'm quite sure if you only drive 400 miles a day in good weather, I'm sure your driver manager would tell you that they expect more(much more). I think knights trucks are governed at 65mph, you can drive 600+ miles a shift. I drove for a company that had their trucks governed at 65mph, and I consistently drove 625 miles(or more) each shift(weather permitting)

    • @KnightTransportation1

      What he was saying is that he expects to average 400 miles a day for all days in the month or 12k a month typically. (including downtime/hometime etc)

    There is no way I would want to be out on the road and only getting home once a month. Forget that! I drove a class eight semi for six months hauling a utility tractor in the top dresser and a Kubota front and loader doing sports turf maintenance and it was extremely stressful
