Knight Transportation
Improper driver reports filed on DAC, unsubstanitated and derogatory driving comments

As the number of consumer complaintss increase about this company, it should tell any prospective driver the issues to consider before applying to them. Even drivers with a spotless record will soon find themselves questioning comments inserted onto their DAC report by this company. I found myself out of a job 90 days after being hired because of deceptive hiring practice by their employmennt office...

I was involved in an accident in my personal vehicle while off-duty PRIOR to applying to Knight Transportation. While I was appealing the citation in court, I applied to Knight at the Lakeland, FL Terminal and was very honest about what had happened and where the court stood on the accident. I was charged with Careless operation of a vehicle for making a lane change and hitting another car in front of me that had stopped in the middle of the street after missing a turn. Ok...

I was told by the Lakeland HR dept. Not to put the accident down on my application since it did not show-up on their contractor's driving report they pull. My FL DHSMV driving record didn't show it yet, and if it doesn't show then it never happened. I told HR I didn't feel comfortable about it, but was told that if it I claimed the accident I wouldn't be hired, and the office needed me as a driver NOW. I said fine, and removed it from my application. I resubmitted it and was hired...

90 days later I had a review by the local office and found I met all my minimums and was given a raise. 10 days later I get a call to bring my truck in to the yard because I was being termed because of my driving record. Apparently, the Phoenix safety department "found" my Careless Charge was missing from my application declaration after reviewing my 90 day review, so I was being discharged for falsifying a document... How do you like that one?

ONE YEAR LATER, I am STILL unemployed even though I had prior trucking experience prior to Knight. The information was placed on my DAC report and will probably never be removed no matter what rebuttal I pay to have entered.

The motto: Don't listen to the B.S. Recruiters give you at HR and don't work for this company.
