Not the best job
I know the company is growing but the benefits and work life balance were tough. I did not enjoy working here. I felt no one was on the same team. Things may have changed

Good people to work with, not much on compensation or benefits.
Work with customers, try and agree to terms about rates giving us freight. Learned several things including negotiation skills, B2B relationships, and rates. Hardest part of the job, not getting caught up in the whirlwind. Most enjoyable part of the job is winning new business.

Not a bad company overall
I Used to sing the song of Knight Transportation when I started there 2 years ago. Now, I am avidly telling people to steer clear. I started as a driver and eventually moved into the Phoenix Terminal as the Driver Qualification Facilitator, basically I got the new guys hired in and did the "orientation" stuff. Pay was good but the office environment was absurd, nobody ever knew what was going on.
Most of the new hires I befriended had major issues with getting decent equipment, rude driver managers and lackluster professionalism from the majority of the staff. Ultimately they would leave just weeks after starting. The Company is losing it's focus and slipping into a bad place.
Prosfree lunches (office staff)
Consnobody has a clue what they are doing.

work, work
you have a plethora of work through out the day beginning with running through your trucks to see who is on time and running behind . when you alert the appropriate party you then move on to planning trucks and finding loads for them. hardest part of the job is making everything work in everyone's favor. most enjoyable part is knowing that you helped someone make a living or got the home for that special event or doctors appointment.
Prospay, benefits, people in your own office
Conshigh stress, always on call, micro managed, working relationships with employees in other offices

Liked the job
I enjoyed working at Knight. Great people and challenging. Promotions were difficult if you weren't family or friends of family. Worked long hours, not usually recognized for the good work you do but definitely call you out if your driver is late or makes mistakes.
ProsNice offices
ConsLong hours
