Hello all looking for info on knight went threw the schooling section in here and it showed terminals and drop lots was just wondering if Syracuse New York is a drop lot or a terminal looking at starting school soon love this site very helpfull

Terminal:

A facility where trucking companies operate out of, or their "home base" if you will. A lot of major companies have multiple terminals around the country which usually consist of the main office building, a drop lot for trailers, and sometimes a repair shop and wash facilities.

I'm not certain but I think it's a drop lot. I don't believe they have a terminal there.

I work out of the Lakeland Fl terminal. I went through their squire program in February in Olive Branch TN. I live about an hour and 45 min south of the terminal and drive my personal vehicle back and forth.

Best thing is to call a recruiter and tell them where you live and see where you would be based. Ask if you can take the truck home or if you would have to park at a terminal and drive your personal vehicle to and from the terminal for home time.
