I don't recommend eating big meals like that if you're a truck driver, u don't need all that food, you don't do anything but drive, all that food is unnecessary.

@MrSouthsidejunkin 8 лет назад

I think this is a great idea that someone who works with drivers in an office setting, goes home every night, sits down and has dinner with his or her family and has more time to relax at home actually goes out with a driver and experiences the road life with another driver. This should be part of the training videos that ALL office employees including payroll should watch.

I drove for Knight back in 20011 for several years. I was a trainer for one year. Knight is now Merged with Swift and it's quality of Drivers has gone down a lot. As for not being just another driver, well that is BS!!! When I left to work for another Truck company, I am pretty sure there was already another person driving the POS rig I had when I was with Knight/ Swift Transportation.

As a 20+ year veteran of the trucking industry and a video producer, I have to say good job Knight. You have the bravado to put forth the initiative to combine office personnel and drivers on the front lines AND video the journey. This is something that the trucking industry is slow to respond to. This is how you recruit in 2016. I know how much time and effort is needed in this type of video. Whoever you have paid to shoot and edit this just earned their paycheck 100% Good job all the way around...

As a former trucker and a former Knight driver, I really appreciate what this guy did. This should be mandatory for all dispatchers and most upper leadership as well. There is nothing worse than being stuck with a immature dispatcher that obviously has never left home trying to tell you about certain things out on the road. It's good to walk a mile in the shoes of those you will have so much control over. I really enjoyed my time with Knight so it doesn't really surprise me that someone in this good trucking company would do this. Good people make for a good company.

I always got the feeling that very few of them that were higher than drivers actually cared. T.J was one of them.

it's like watching a small potato start to grow! Before he grows into a big potato. Such is life. We are all small potatoes. Even you, hot chicks! Such is life. I'm a driver too... but this is a corporate video. Most of us are small potatoes. Unless we grow into big fat potatoes but then we're still just potatoes So are the rich people who make us drive. We are all potatoes. If we get buried we send shoots up from our core that gives new life. If Knight is a good company then awesome for them.... I don't think there is anyone more qualified for a driving position than an honest person who doesn't put up with any bullshit. my two cents. you're welcome, Knight.

Why is the driver not properly holding the wheel with both hands in the proper position? Isn't that a bit distracting to have the driver taking his eyes off the road to look at the person he is talking too?

@TheAksleepy 8 лет назад

Ok today I had my opinion of who is "just a driver" proven to me, so here's where your vp's viewpoint should IMO change. I had one of my own drivers blow past me in a shippers yard because he was frustrated he couldn't turn around and back in where he was at, then he clogged the whole shippers yard up because he couldn't back up, to top it all off he stole my assigned empty from the shipper without telling them! That to me is just a driver that doesn't care about any other driver!!!! A professional drive is patient, considerate, and helps other drivers out! What was funny to me was that driver got reported by me and the shipper and had to bring the trailer back to me!!! :) I was on a dedicated drop and hook run to this shipper. So that to me is what the difference is between just a driver and a professional driver is.

@megapeterbilt1 8 лет назад

I'm quite sure if you only drive 400 miles a day in good weather, I'm sure your driver manager would tell you that they expect more(much more). I think knights trucks are governed at 65mph, you can drive 600+ miles a shift. I drove for a company that had their trucks governed at 65mph, and I consistently drove 625 miles(or more) each shift(weather permitting)

@KnightTransportation1 5 лет назад

What he was saying is that he expects to average 400 miles a day for all days in the month or 12k a month typically. (including downtime/hometime etc)

And I believe The knight Brothers can improve Swift and make her a better carrier and they do have a flock of good drivers to do it.
