[quote]Knight still does some training for the CDL, but you need to live in or near Phoenix for them to accept you into their Squire program right now.[/quote] That makes sense why the Knight Recruiter told me they won't consider me until get my CDL. I was really considering working for them until that point. I really wanted to be a Squire that later becomes a Knight. I preferred to do the Knight: port and rail terminal services to help facilitate railroad and seaport transports because I like trains and their fuel per ton mile efficiency. I was trying to be careful on what I say because my limited experience with them. I did a bit of research on their services like Reefer division, Port & Rail division and Dry Van.

If Old School likes them, they must be good. He knows more than me about Knight.

Thank you so much appreciate that.

Knight still does some training for the CDL, but you need to live in or near Phoenix for them to accept you into their Squire program right now. The bean counters at Knight are cutting way back on some things that they consider to be big holes in their bucket, and the schooling they were providing was one of the big items where they felt they were not coming out ahead.

Tone, Welcome to our forum!

I drive for Knight in their dedicated flat-bed division - we strictly haul loads for SAPA Aluminum. Here's alook at my truck and a recent load...

I'd be glad to answer any questions you have, but if you are just curious about what it is like to work for them, I can assure you that they are just like any other trucking company - what I mean by that is that the drivers who are out here getting things done and making things happen are making some really good money and the ones who don't seem to understand how to make it out here are griping and complaining about not getting enough miles. Truck driving is a performance based job and the movers and shakers are the ones that rise like cream to the top.

Knight treats me like a King, and when I walk into my home terminal (Gulfport, MS) they know me by name and welcome me in there just like I'm an old friend who just returned from a long journey. They are a great place to work.
