Knight Transportation Truck Driver:   (Past Employee - 2009)

Pros

Being able to drive a 379 Peterbilt,

Cons

I felt we had to drive unsafe equipment. After orientation, you are assigned a truck , you do the initial inspection and find various unsafe conditions, bring it to management , and are informed everything is legal. You drive in winter conditions, the truck is sliding because of bald tires, but they are still saying this is legal.
You end your load for the week , informed by dispatch that there is no reload, so dispatch informs you to bring the trailer home, clean it, fuel it, and drop at a designated drop yard, and bobtail to the office. When your paycheck comes out the next week, you are shorted over 200 miles, asking management about this, you are informed that those miles will not be paid, They only pay miles from your home base, how you arrived home is free to them, you drive and log this pulling a trailer for nothing

Advice to Senior Management

Look at safety issues, communication between management and drivers need overhauling, communication is slim to none.
