We have worked for Knight out of Portland for 3 months on a dedicated route. Knight personnel are fabulous to work with - respectful, honest and pleasant to the drivers.
THE PROBLEM IS THAT KNIGHT TRANSPORTATION IS IN TRAILER DENIAL.
What does this mean to its drivers? You spend hours of your line 3 and 4 looking for an empty trailer or have to agree to deliver a sorry load in order to go load your next plan. There are plenty of trailers available, but there apparently is no system to know where they are! It would be wonderful to have some plan where the MTs are retrieved and delivered back to the many yards Knight has in order for the driver to be on time. This is a well known problem that management is aware of but fails to correct. The dispatchers give you a list of suspected locations and you and four other trucks drive there and fight over the empty trailer.
The plusses for this firm are endless - good orientation, good equipment, fast pay daily, benefits after 90 days, etc.but the trailer problem is horrendous.
I recommend that you give Knight a try and see how the TRAILER DENIAL affects you!
