Before i go to another crappy company. Is it true what I here about Knight? They have a 2500 mile a week gaurantee? I asked to recruiter when I talked to her before and she its company policy but she didt say anything about gaurantee. I cant do this anymore I just got load to pickup tomorrow morning 20 miles down the road and a 200 mile run. They gave more than a day to get it there. I can get this load there sooner than 24 hours. So to wrap up the week it looks like right around 1200 miles

Will you get 2500 miles or more every week with Knight? No

Will you average at least 2500 miles per week over the course of a year? Yes.

Dispatchers are required to get you as close to 2500 miles per week as they can and still meet your home time requests as they can or they have to answer for it. While Knight is a non forced dispatch company, the driver has to be cooperative and careful when it comes to turning down loads. Turn down too many loads and you may find your home time request tossed aside.

where exactly is "Metro East?"

If it's where i think it is, you'd be better off considering Smith Transportation/Transport? And/or Marten transport.

I know nothing about Knight except that you'd be better off considering the above to companies over it.

Metro East area is st louis area

Knight has tons of freight in and out of the St Louis area. There would be no problem getting you home when you want. They also have a secure drop yard in that area if you need a place to park your rig or drop a trailer at when you do go home.

I lived in Hamel. Now im stuck here on the road with my wife and no home to go to. These miles screwed my plans big time.

What about Arthur Wells Inc, right out of St. Louis. Yeah, their trucks are older, but they get you home every weekend, and they pay really good per mile and the miles are there. I don't work there, but a friend of mine just send of his application to them.

Knight will get you the miles. It is company policy to get 10,500 miles a month. Some weeks will be lower then 2500 but not by much. I had only a few weeks that was below 2500 since I started. Most of the time miles was around 2800 to 3000 a week. You will get home when you need to be as well. BOL
