Thx Buddy
Knight is still a good place to work, but recently they have taken away our stock options and that sucks. The overthinkers are working overtime. They are cutting back the fleet at every terminal, which is good because that means more freight per truck.
Instead of keeping idle time below 20% they dropped it to 10% which doesn't bother me because I only have about 3% idle time.
I used to be able to fuel where ever I wanted to, but now they route you and tell you where to fuel.
They cut layover pay from $96.00 to $48.00.
I was in SLC last week and there was alot of changes there. Aaron Knight left, Matt in the shop was fired, and dispatch seemed a bit disorganized.
All in all though, I am staying put because I don't see it being better anywhere else right now, and I am still making decent money. I made $58,000 in 2007 and $55,000 this year. and was home most weekends.
