Please double and triple check Knights Transportation Pre–Employment procedures and especially before finalizing your travel dates purchasing and leaving your residence along with the assigned recruiter, once expressing interest with this company, who faces challenges retaining new recruits and retaining them even up to 60-90 days.
The Atlanta Georgia and Memphis Tennessee (Southeast division DOES NOT HONOR) what they say!! BELIEVE ME – BEFORE YOU START TRAINING OR SEATED --REQUEST ALL COPIES OF YOU AGREEMENTS OR CONTRACTS: I can't stress this enough!
Before leaving your home and transferring your Class A License, check the perspective states transfer fees, and laws. I moved from California to Georgia: Knight Memphis recruiter – is a piece of work, Christy Miller presses you hard - upfront to withdraw your current registration within the first 30 days: GEORGIA DMV WILL NOT TRANSFER YOUR HAZMAT ENDORSEMENTS: I believed she’s moved on, so good luck.
Be cautious. Call the DMV Office – FIRST before considering transferring or switching your license…It will cost you out of pocket (extra spending expenses: /// Make sure payroll sends you a final confirmation for automatic deposits, initially, it was a disaster to get it matching with your auto banking needs.
The W- 4 withholding statements were out dated in their employee portal site:
The form was 2 or 3 years old showing 2012 or 2013 as recent….so I wonder what else isn’t being monitored efficiently)?
They take an $100.00 (nonrefundable fee upfront inwhich I informed payroll and recruiting that I did not have the fee prior to starting their training course) Christy from the Memphis department still had an attitude about this.
The teacher to student ratio skills test is completely false. New recruits are being cheated coming in door, especially if you have NEVER driven before:
OTR TRAINING IS EXACTLY $400.00 /per week, along with this, use extreme caution being careful with pay advances, this can be a trap. After all the tax deductions, it averages around $ 200.00 p/week: Remember: You will have to live with this wage for 4-7 weeks, If you can manage…? Crappy? It’s part of the plan to make the company money, unless your Independent from the beginning, which is an option and can be very lucrative.
I had been solicited through email, and phone calls stating that I would receive a Sign on Bonus and Transition Pay for attending an orientation for Knight Refridgerated. I attended this Orientation, and was told to go home and they would provide me with a driver number and get a truck assigned to me. I did not hear back, so I called in, and left voice mail, I sent Email, and I never had a reply to the email or voicemail.
I then noticed that the phone number on my recruiters email had a Direct Line to contact him. I called this number to maybe back track and locate the right person to speak to in regards to when I would be getting a truck, and getting on the raod. The voice mail had a ladies voice on it and I left her a few messages.
I was then under the assumption that the recruiter may no longer be working for the company and they replaced him with quickness. This turned out to be the case.
This female recruiters called me roughily 2 weeks later, and stated that she was the new recruiter at the number I was calling.
She then discussed with me the issues at hand, and the fact that I never received the pay as per the Advertisment and the Recruiter, and the Location Manager.
She asked if she could work on it and get me paid; would I still be interested in driving for Knight.
I stated I would if she could get it straightened out, however, I would like to get the pay thing situated as I had already waiting several weeks, and no pay.
She said she would get it taken care of and give me an update the following day.
She did not call, so I called and left her voice mail, email, voice mail, and email.
No Response. It has been now Over a Week since the Last Corispondence.
In all professionalism, if a company is going to place a Recruitment ad, and state that they will pay you these items for attending their orientation then they should pay you, and not waste your time.
When they forget to pay you, they should make it good; especially when you call in, or email in, and remind them that they owe you this money; as you did what they had asked of you.
This even if they have had second thoughts about you working for them, and then decide to move in a different direction.
This company wasted my time, in which i would have been working for another company, on the promise that I would be working for them, and I would be paid for the Orientation.
As a Driver, I would be wary of these companies that state they will pay you, and then do not.
I bought/leased a 2010 peterbilt from knight transpotation. after running very hard for the last 5 months I have only taken home 3,000$ total I do not wast my fuel I run at a safe speed and keep falling further and further behind. every chance knight has to take extra money from me they do it I have lived off 300$ a week in advances for 4 months lost my house and my car I'm about to loss my cdl to child support because knight find every way not to pay me. I have made payment arrangements a few times to pay down my neg bal witch when It looks like they will have to pay me out on a good week knight double charges me truck or neg bal payments. Needless to say goiif in to business with knight transportation or any oth of its entities is a bad choice I strongly encourage people not to lease or buy trucks from knight transportation.
