What is the minimum age requirement to be hired at Knight? I'm currently 21 years old and have 6 months experience in with Swift. Would I be eligible to get in with Knight yet? Thanks.

 

Yes, they would hire you at 21 with 4mo exp.

 

kcfalcon, thanks for that info. Do you know if Knight has a terminal in Western PA or Eastern OH? I know they have one in Carlisle, PA, but I was wondering if they had one closer to me in Western PA that I don't know about. Thanks in advance.

 

Not that I know of, indy or carlisle I believe.
You would more than likley be out of carlisle.
However, I know two drivers who live in your area, and that is a massive freight lane for us through there so should be no problem for you.

 

Kcfalcon, do you know anything about the charlotte nc terminal for knight. Do the guys out of there get any miles?

 

If I would most likely be out of Carlisle, would that hurt the chances of me running mostly in the midwest and central US? Thanks.

 

No it wouldn't. All it really means is that is where your dispatchers desk is located at.

 

There is also a new terminal in Columbus, OH.

 

Nut's yes there is, I gotta get a list of all the terminal's!
No, no problem running the midwest from there, you can run pretty much anywhere you want to run.
Like u-turn said your home terminal is pretty much where your dispatcher sit's.
I am out of the Kansas city terminal and spend 85% of my time running between texas, the carolina's and florida.
I spend more time in the gulfport yard then mine.
As far as north carolina, most all the guy's I talk to there are happy with there miles.
I know some of the guy's in the office and they have worked well for me when I'am down there.

 

Thank you all for your info. Knight sounds like what I'm looking for. How strict are they with hiring if you have one minor preventable (hitting a barrier at a fuel island during my training with my trainer)? Would that keep them from hiring me?
