Pros of working at Knight Transportation

They promised very realistic and expected things, made Knight seem like a great place to work....

Cons of working at Knight Transportation

They never made good on any of the things they said, worked you to the bone and either deliberately attempted to bankrupt me or where so incompetent with their use of my services that it nearly accomplished the same end result

Knight Transportation benefits

The "Walk Away Lease" (which, through "creative accounting", they also didn't uphold). I'd prefer to work for the Mob. At least there's some honor and decency with the Mob.

What do you like best about Knight Transportation's CEO and the leadership team?

He's studied how to angle and edge the legal risks of the company so the drivers individually burden them for the most part. Funding the company off of the drivers financial lives rather than relying on running a "good" company. - You've got to respect the business man who can do that, and somehow make it seem legal.

How would you improve Knight Transportation's culture?

Class Action Law Suit against the Corporate company aimed at restoring the lives of drivers such as myself who've lost 4+ years of their lives being abused, starved and in many ways tortured to artificially make Knight seem like a well-to-do trucking company sucking in more unsuspecting victims.

How did you prepare for the Knight Transportation interview?

I checked on Knight's safty score, reviews, and prior interactions over the phone seemed good and on the up-and-up, then I drove to Knight's terminal in Phoenix, AZ.

How does your compensation at Knight Transportation compare to the industry average?

Less by orders of magnitude. I'd make more working as a School's bus driver.

What's the diversity at Knight Transportation like?

It's sufficiently diverse. But that should never be the factor. People shouldn't be hired because the company needs more [Insert the minority] representation. A company should hire the best people for the job. If someone feels a company is discriminating based on [insert the minority], then a review should be done then and the company should be encouraged to hire the more qualified personnel.

What brings you the most joy at Knight Transportation?

Not being under Knight's thumb anymore.
