I worked for knight for 2 years. In august they kept me out for 6 weeks. Right before labor day I got back to my terminal in Carlisle, PA.
That was the wednesday before labor day. When asked what day I would be ready to go back out I said Tuesday after labor day. They said I could only take four days off since that was company policy.
I said but you all did not get back home when i asked to be. I was out for 6 weeks and should be off for 6 days. Thats when i was informed to clean out my truck if I wanted to be off that long.
Although they had no freight to haul until tuesday, I asked for a load sunday or monday to comply with company policy hometime, they still had me clean out my truck. I had to call for someone to pick me up I lived 162 miles away.
Brian Lewis the terminal manager and my dispatcher Victor refused to work with me. Reason they had more people coming out of orientation that day than trucks. I was the second person they did that to that day alone.

I am so sorry you had this sort of issue with this company, they are the biggest bunch of rip offs that I have every worked for. Brian Lewis and that fat f*k they call a safety director in Carlisle are a bunch of corrupt liars. Brian tells us that if we dont run a minimum of 2500 miles per week then we are not meeting company standards and will be terminated, well if you dont get the miles you cant comply. I was wrongfully terminated by this terminal a few years back and it put a bad taste in my mouth for trucking ever since, it is only in the recent weeks I have decided to go back to driving but unfortunatly because they were my last job and I was fired from them it makes it hard to get on with another company but with the demand of drivers nowadays if you explain yoru side to companies and if you look hard enough you will eventually find a job. I have had 2 concrete job offers today alone after searching for almost a week now. I only pray that this company someday gets the rewards it so deserves but as with many of the larger companies who are evil to its drivers they will just continue to get away with it because no one will ban together and stand up. Hell its hard enough to get 2 drivers to agree on the time of day much less standing together for what is right.
