      They are proof that drivers are willing to work for low pay for non monetary benefits. I rather make more money and pay the say $30 it costs to go to a bowling alley occasionally and a gym membership.

      No different than apartment complexes charging extra because they have a computer room and conference room that I will never use. Rather live in a basic 1 bedroom apt and have an extra $500 a month

    Worked for Knight this past year. Been to the Phoenix yard many times, massive parking and driver lounge. Hopefully the money is better for you than it was for me. Was out 3-4 weeks at a time and barely brought home $800 a week. I’m single with no family and still was barely getting by. Hope it works out for you though! They do have great accounts and consistent lanes.

      ​@dabd8175 yes it is good money but it sucks for new drives because they won't hired you bc of the insurance they think we don't have enough experience I think if I'm not wrong u have to have more than 2 years of experience or more I live in El Paso Tx and im struggling to find local truck driving jobs

    Hey Augustine, glad to see your trucking again. If you’re going to continue doing vids, be careful. Remember the Knight policy you signed. It warns you about social media. You’ll think everything is ok, then one day they’ll call you into the office and say, “Corporate has decided to release you because. . .” Oh, you live in Las Vegas yet you had to orientation in Phoenix? What’s up with that?

    been with knight and swift both have different setups even if its both under knight I prefer knight but if i was a rookie I would go with swift we have higher number of crashes simple put we have the most trucks next to JB hunt while JB hunt will work you like a dog knight more laid back. Pay aint the best but what I needed was hometime being #1 priority and money 2nd my family isn't a 2nd place its always money 2nd that said swift or knight have more terminals then anyone else and because of that they can get you home more often then some these mom and pop. companies small and big bottom line all they care about is the bottom dollar don't let anyone say different some these small companies say they care but had many relatives get burned from them worse then what big companies do.
