Knight Transportation Class A Truck Driver Reviews

Pros

No force dispatch Great DM

Cons

Not a lot of local work

Pros

Big company you can get away with anything somewhat maintained equipment Won’t go broke they have many accounts. If you can get locked onto a dedicated route that can get you closer to $1600 a week.

Cons

More you work the less you make. (Sliding scale) “Freight is slow” I worked there 2 years and freight is always slow. They try to keep drivers around 2500 miles because it’s safer and gives them buffer zone for taking care of customers. Pay discrepancies, don’t get paid for anything extra. You have to keep a running ledger to keep track of empty miles, empty moves, layover, detention. I stopped driving and stayed at the terminal a week to get paid because the amount owed was $2700+ in failed payroll issues. Over 1 month No raises worth mentioning. This company survives of new drivers working 1-6 months. They don’t need long term drivers.
