Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookDisapproves of CEOI have been working at Knight Transportation full-time for more than 3 years
Pros
Starting pay, no experience needed
Cons
Literally everything else. Horrible, high school clique- like management; unattainable metrics; complete disregard for your personal life; they find every way possible to not pay out bonuses or give the yearly raises that they promise; the systems/ programs are outdated, horribly slow and unreliable; literally everything else. If you want a short time job (1 to MAYBE 2 years), it’s fine. If you want a career, well, if you didn’t go to high school with any of the management or if you don’t act like a complete lapdog, you won’t progress. Easy as that.

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI have been working at Knight Transportation full-time for less than a year
Pros
There are terminals most of the time along the route
Cons
Finding myself once again sitting on a load as a result of inadequate communication between office management and the driver (myself), can’t count that high in regards to how frequently this has happened since I started here 4 months ago. Hopefully you love you having your time wasted and losing money due to poor communication and terrible planning. Compensation here sucks as it is at 43cpm, add in the amount of time you lose working here and do the math. When I was going through the hiring process for this company, they told me they had brand new equipment, trucks and trailers both, and that their equipment was more than adequately maintained - false - enjoy sitting in a dirty, used truck with an interior left filthy by the fat sea cow that sat in it prior, no they don’t clean it out for you, and the truck has 300,000+ miles on it when you get into it, most of the bunkheaters don’t work and your batteries are constantly dying, the trailers are all rusted, and you can never find an empty because they let their customers fill empty trailers with pallets. Home time is said to be 1 day off for every week out, but they could’ve shoved it from day one for me, I go home whenever I want for as long as I want, I don’t get paid enough for the bs in this company to care. Thought I would have a lot of positive things to say about working here, but its all flowers for the first month (if that) before you see how dysfunctional this company is. They’re just another mega-carrier, don’t expect anything more or less than reality. I’ve about had enough, seeking my way out already

Pros
A decent, place to make friends.
Cons
Not a lot of room for promotions because they don't like to replace people, so they will keep you in the same position for a while. They don't like to give raises, they don't like to tell you how much vacation you have. They don't like to help out employees and they like to fast track learning.
