Ecently attended a orientation for knight transportation in turalre, ca. On 08/10 was at their terminal promptly at 0730 along with 9 other possable new employees.
What the recruiter got things going it seems to me she was coming off a little strong, she didnt the same attitude she had on the phone. Kept telling me she would run a dac report even before i got there.
Not only did she not run a dac report, she didnt call previous employers for a reference. Even had to fill out another company application when i got there dispite the fact the one i filled out was one that i downloaded pinted and filled out by hand and faxed it to them.
So what was the need for another one? But thats not the half of it, the safety director they have is a ex deputy sherrif who's attitude is something other then what it should or probaly be. When it came my turn for a road test, the truck they were using is a 379 long nose pete.
Didnt have a problem with the kind of tractor it is, just the way its made. Sleeper thats wider then the cab and having the exhaust mounted right outside the door made it hard to see when using the mirror's when backing.
So when i opened the door to see where the end of the trailer was going so i wouldnt hit anything while backing it into a parking spot, my road test was failed because of it.
They used the excause i could of fallen out of the tractor because ot it. Seems to me that if you still have your seat belt on, have one hand on the steering wheel and the other on the door handle, how are you gonna fall out?
Spent 14 1/2 hours going there on the bus just to have them do that. And almost the same going home. Seems to me they would have all their i's dotted and t's crossed on the dac reports background checks mvr report and previous employer's verified before they decided to do anything.
Instead of getting someone there, and finding something they didnt like and sending them home instead of wasting the drivers time, their time and company money doing all this.
