Knight Transp. needs to hire more qualified drivers.
4 years, 16 weeks and 1 day
the company I work for gets deliveries from knight and the experience is always frustrating , none of the drivers we get can back up a truck it takes them multiply tries and it looks as though they have never done it before. We had one recently that literally took he/she an hr to finally get backed in . It cost's us time and money waiting for them to figure it out. And they end up asking us what do they need to do, (we are not the truck drivers you are suppose to be the professional ). I feel like all they know how to do is driver forward and nothing else, I am not saying that their are no good drivers at this company I just have yet to see one and wish that we would get one that knows how to do more then drive in a straight line . I think the hiring process needs to be a little more thorough.Anonymous

Knight hires people with at least 3 months experience. Sounds like your property is one of those god forsaken places that's just built to tight. FYI even seasoned drivers need 1 or 2 extra pull ups to back in most cases. It's by far the most difficult part of the job. Dealing with unappreciative people is a close second.Anonymous

It is a training company. It takes drivers a lot of practice to learn to back up. Also does your dock allow enough room to get in your dock with a 53 foot trailer. Some do not have enough room to pull forward and then back up.Anonymous

I totally agree with you. All truckers were in the training process when they first start. Some ignorant mad truckers forgot how they started. Respect new truckers and help them when needed. Do not cry for couple of minutes.Anonymous

I worked for Knight for over 9 years and you have to understand, Knight hires drivers straight out of driving school and then let them train a new driver after 6 months of driving themselves. And now they've become partners with Swift, who have some of the worst drivers when it comes to backing, GOD HELP US!!!!!Anonymous

Not merged! Knight does not merge, just purchases and teaches how to be profitable like they are! If u get to know your team, most of the time it's good relationship between dispatchers & drivers. I communicate by cell phone often with my dispatcher with great results!!Anonymous

My trainer Sunshine was a **** one. Got mad easy. I think after getting off her truck Was easier don't waste your time. Plus Knight never has empties near you waste of time looking for empties that dispatch can't keep track of.
