In the beginning when there was a issue with the trailer paperwork wonder how long that would have taken for the driver to resolve without the CEO at hand. Not sure it would have taken longer but I would bet it would. Would have been much more interesting had they matched him with a driver that was not as necktie friendly. Now that would be great!!

I pray that every night my father stops at a truck stop and is able to sleep. I am glad that your trip was very nice with Allen but not everyday is so tame and nice.

I am not a truck driver but an engineer in the cellular smartphone industry. I have heard a lot of conversation on SiriusXM Channel 110 (Trucking Channel) about the upside and downside of E-Logs, trucking violations, trucking regulations and much more. I also heard about lots of wasted time for truckers waiting to get unloaded or loaded. In this video, the receiving dock did not have a record of the incoming shipment which I can imagine happens more often than it should so the driver and Knight Transportation CEO had to spend time to figuring out at the warehouse site about their load delivery instead of simply electronically being informed which dock they were to be unloading at when they arrived. There are a lot of proprietary hardware devices in the truck related to the truck safety, federal/state regulations for tracking truck/trailer/driver safety. In my opinion, the next step for the trucking industry is to have an electronic delivery information interface to the warehouses where they are picking up their loads or unloading their loads. What are thoughts about this? Newer versions of Dell computers can run Android applications so applications that can run on smartphones could very well be developed on Dell Computers with a regular keyboard.

I know that he said that he is semi retired, two weeks on two off. But those two on, wouldn't he want more miles. And, the unloading and loading in LA, was about three hours. That along with the 30 break cut into his 11 hours driving, by at least 30 minutes. Is this common?

Excellent one other thing I noticed in a lot of those videos of truckers is do we know where which truck is at the time too? I mean driving for the same Company shouldn't we also have some sort of a CORP safety agreement so when we part at truck stops we park next to each other to enhance security ? I think thinking BIG should include also BIG TEAM work. Also Vet's should have a label on their trucks or years of driving for this Company should be on the Truck marked so a rookie could walk over and ask for help knowing the other trucker has X amount of year on the belt already. This would strengthen TEAMS too.
@KnightTransportation16 жыл бұрын
Being able to park next to one another at locations other than company terminals is not always possible. Those place are open to the public and anyone can choice to park where they like. You will see tho that if it is optional in many cases out driving associates and other companies tend to park near one another naturally. As for the stickers who do have stickers for our retired military driving associates. As well as years of service! All great ideas ! Appreciate you taking the time to reach out. We look forward to hearing from you again.

Knight Transportation the trucking Company Maverick for example has the sticker for Veterans, UPS-SCS has that and for years and some even award truckers for accident free 10plus years and such. If I would be a rookie at your Company and I have loading issues for example at a dock I now would be able to ask an experienced driver just by looking at his cab I know how many years he’s working here. 2nd Leadership at them stations should teach teamwork because sometimes a new guy going to a terminal or customer has no idea but can ask an other team member who’s been there before or like a company trucker guide what to do at what customer and which gas/ rest station or preferred routes to take. That helps truckers a ton and cost a company only pennies.

Loved the video, but I think I've never laughed so hard. first I heard the CEO, sounds like a nice guy, say as he's watching you face time with your grand kids, "isn't it nice that modern technology allow you to stay in touch with family while away from them on the road.", then the pro says "Yeah, it really is. " but what I heard in my mind was. "isn't it nice that when you're gone so much, you never see your kids, but at least you can face time with them." Then what made me laugh hysterically is when the CEO said something like. "Isn't it nice to be able to look out and see the wonderful country we life in, I mean, what a beautiful view!". and the pro driver said something like. "Yeah, it's very theaaputic when I think about my second divorce." as if to say, living on the road away from home will cause you to loose not one but two wives. sorry, I drove back in the day before we even had cell phones and GPS's, and I'm sure it cost me my first marriage. so I guess my mind put that all together... great video. really. *smile*

This is to the CEO of knight trucking I saw the KZbin with you and a driver the way to insure your truck and trailers are safe to run over the road is to have a dedicated knight shop and make it mandatory that each truck and trailer that come off the HWY MUST GO THROUGH SHOP FOR QUICK INSPEC.YOUR MAINTENANCE BILL WOULD BE WELL SPENT

Great Idea to certify in-house drivers to make on-site trailer inspections while waiting for an unload. Good for $50?
