How did you average 4,116 miles per week over 4 weeks in a governed company truck? :roll:

This is exactly why we need EOBR's. This guy's gonna kill someone.

 

Perhaps you missed the all important word in my post...."LEGALLY"

I did not run illegal in any part of the entire month. Being in a governed company truck has nothing to do with it.

I have guys in non-governed trucks pass me a 1/2 dozen times a day. It all has to do with keeping the left door shut and keeping moving.

If you want proof, I would gladly let you see my log book for the month.

And by the way, you might as well say I have an EOBR because Knight will not put up with running illegal.

Any time you break the 11 or 14 hour rule it automatically send a message to safety and they will shut you down.

I am not out here to put myself or anyone else in danger. I am out here to make money.

I knew I couldn't post without some a$$hole calling me either a liar or an outlaw.

 

You're both.

Oh you're "legal" alright...on paper only...because like the old saying goes "paper doesn't refuse ink". Dispatch gives you the loads while other guys sit because you know how to bail out their poor planning by cooking the books and making all the lines look pretty in the comic book and magically total to 70 each week. No way you're running a legal book and averaging over 4,100 mpw for 4 straight weeks. Everyone here who knows better is laughing at you posting that BS. The rest won't say anything because they're doing the same things (speed averaging, time-compression, logging paid miles only, etc)...just not to the same extent you are.

Just wait until you're involved in an accident. When the opposing lawyers match up shipper/receiver logs, interview people on the dock, toll receipts, qualcomm records, etc we'll see how "legal" you really are.

If you want to lop 10 years off your life running ragged like that with no life whatsoever and never seeing home for a whole month than have at it. Just don't play us for fools by claiming you're "legal".

 

Man, you are a real bonehead. Do you have trouble reading the English language or what? I said I would show you my log book and also said our qualcomm would send an automated message to safety to shut us down if we were illegal. All my loaded and empty calls match the times on my logs. fuel stops match. Tolls match.

Why is it that underachievers such as yourself always try to make themselves feel better by shooting down someone elses accomplishments?

 

hmm,with those knight trucks going 65mph,you cant log more than an average of 60mph(and you couldnt log more than 50 mph in 55mph states),thats with perfect traffic conditions.So you couldnt technically Log more than 660 miles per day 11 hours times 60mpg = 660 miles.now,if you rolled for 6 days straight and managed 660 miles per day that would put you at 3960 miles,which is even below your average per week,since thats around the 4100 mark.so with that said, you would only have 4 hours left to(and really not even that much because I didnt even factor in the time you would of had to spent on line 4 for fueling and dock time) drive on your 70 hours because 11 hours driving a day multiplied by 6 days is 66 hours,minus 70 is 4 hours to drive left?So where would you squeeze in your 34 hour restart to be able to do this again 3 more times? Im not saying you're lying,but what I do think is you added in your miles from the last week of june that rolled into july for the first trip submitted at the beginning of the month.Also,the average for the miles you said you drove 16,466 miles would mean you had to average 531 miles a day for every single day,including weekends.

 

Not to Sound,

Niaeve OR Out of touch referring to the EOBR's? But is this the Proposed BabySiTTer Cam OR Camera ? That' will BE the Day! when all your Independence as A Driver is finally Gone! :roll: :idea: PERIOD :idea:

 

YOU NAILED IT ON THE HEAD! THERE IS NO WAY HE IS RUNNING LEGAL! Knight has to many live loads, live unloads, searching for empties, can't dispatch you because no freight within 50 miles (keep those deadhead miles down), etc. Knight Transportation does have hundreds of solo's running illegal (many of them brag about it in the drivers lounge). We even had a safety director tell us "If it looks like you aren't going to make the delivery because you will run out of hours and you only have a half an hour or hour to go remember customer service is most." (wink,wink) We left them several months ago and we laugh every time we get a "come back and work for us" mailing. The previous entry stating how things work is also right on! They have their favorites and those favorites are the one that run illegal and get all the miles. We actually overheard a dispatcher at the Kansas City yard say "I have this guy that drives me insane, he will only run legal and he is a pain in my a$$". Now that is a great example of how they expect you to work. I for one would love to see the feds to a full blown audit on Knight and see them squirm.

 

With 8.75 hours per day average to never run out of hours and logging only 15 minutes daily for a pre-trip and NEVER logging fuel stops or any othe line 4 work, you would have to average 69.12 MPH every day for a week to get his 4116 mile weekly average.

I call BS. I drive for knight.

 

Ya know Dollarshort, all you would have to do is post up your paystubs. That might quiet some of the uproar :wink: When I drove for knight, I do have to admit the freight in your area was fantastic! Lots of drop and hooks and lots of easy miles, but I had a dedicated account over on the left coast.

Running legal was almost impossible for me even when I had my dedicated run. The huge amounts of live unload/loads where the previous driver had either quit or dropped his trl so now the load was late was simply staggering! I got to the point where I refused to run a load if it was late. I got tired of getting screamed at by customers because Knight told them I was the original driver and couldn't fathom why I was late.

And this has been the only company where most of the time you dread getting a drop and hook because there are never any mt trailers for you to use. Yes the customer may have 20(Hi Shopko ) but that doesn't mean you can use any of them. My dispatchers regularly told me to go load or unload on my 34hr restarts and to just *not log it* and then when safe calls and asked why I'm moving, they would flat out lie, knowing that that Tyler(safety) sat 2 cubicles down from them.

I liked the non-force dispatch and I tried really really hard to accept most of the loads I was given, but after a year you know most of the freight lanes and when you are asked to go into a terrible area with no preload on a weekend, it's irritating to be thought of as so stupid as to not have learned the 5 previous times they've done that, that I have no desire to go there.

I quit Knight in september of 06 so maybe things have changed. Do they pay the same rate? The local ad says they now pay for experience. What is the new rate? Do all the terminals still have to compete with each other in the typical," He's from Katy, screw em'. My SLC guy needs a load"?

 

They claim to be your hometown carrier, and there not lieing.. You may run in the same zip code for 3 days and then asked to do a favor.. And we all know favors dont pay. :lol: [/b][/list]
