[@annettemcilwain4652]

[@tyronejimenez3937]

Love the vids been watching all of them, hope one day I can drive for knight seem like a great company 👍

[@jparker12004]

Not a great company. Drove for them out of the Phoenix AZ terminal for a few years. Then came to my senses and realized there are other Commercial Trucking companies that pay more and have better and newer rigs...

[@TheIntelligentView]

I think ALL office people that are hired should be mandatory 2 weeks on a truck before they can be in the office so they have a very good idea of what goes on and learns to have respect for the drivers and what they endure on a daily basis. I really like the FEW trucking companies where ALL employees in the office were previously professional drivers.

[@scottsmith5774]

And have to do it on regular basis

[@chsepaul]

No matter what, it's all about the home time.

[@FARMERJARED14]

Just saw one of your trucks going thru jefferson city missouri First time ever either that or never paid attention till now lol. Im enjoying these videos.

[@KnightTransportation1]

Cool. Next time give us a wave. :)

[@jamesmccune1278]

check your tires every time you stop 105 psi at 32 degrees is ideal for every 10 degrees increase in temp add 1 psi never drop a trailer that is not road ready or ready to load

[@joelucio3490]

keep on truckin

[@KnightTransportation1]

You too Joe. Thanks for the comment, we really appreciate it .

[@centralcal6604]

knight is a great company

[@TruckerSteve]

Eric Caro i agree :)

[@annettemcilwain4652]

🤔 I HAVE MY CDL PERMIT & MEDICAL CARD! I'M REAAAALLY THINKING, ABOUT JOINING THIS COMPANY!!!👈

[@bentrishaleemartin926]

They should implement a fuel pay system like Apple Pay , walk up scan the card or phone and your done.. it would save hundreds of thousands by the time the drivers fool with those terminal keypads

[@LifeInTheFastLane151]

Kevin, you will always be my dear friend. Say hello to Buddy Holly for me. I'm always the last to know

[@1masut]

[@KnightTransportation1]

[@Kuronekaux]

Hahah I've been to that Pepsi CO. dist centre. I sat there for 5 hours for a load.

[@KnightTransportation1]

That is a long time to wait. Trucking is not easy.

[@BigBand1942]

@21:50 tires are way BAD!!!!!

[@1masut]

It's just the resolution. They're actually in good shape

[@marccolombick7900]

Hello, good afternoon, today I discovered your videos, I love them, can I ask you a question? How can I do to be a driver of those beautiful trucks in the US? I am Argentino, Bus Driver with 27 years of experience. and for several years now I want to emigrate to work there, in trucks, but I never knew clearly how to do it. I know that you have to have and / or process a CDL license, but that can only be done while there. What do you tell me? At 51, do you think I have any chance? Is age an impediment? I don't speak English very well, but I think it's a matter of dedication. I would like you to help me know how it is. Thanks, very good videos.

[@corireeves]

Are all the trucks automatic?

[@JAndersonThe2nd]

why at 11:19 he took apart two turkey slices just to put both the slices on the sandwich.

[@1masut]

J.Anderson The2nd it was provalone cheese...gotta space out the cheese and turkey to make sure equal amounts of cheese and turkey in each bite

[@1masut]

Cracks me up how much attention the sammiches received 😂

[@louisGC28]

if you have the time you should back in to a spot so you can get as much experience as possible quicker in my opinion

[@1masut]

Louis G-C I agree but most close quarter contact comes during a backing evolution. my point was.. don't back if you don't have to

[@travpark8163]

did the C.O.O forget to check in at the gatehouse? as he would check in through the office?

[@stevehirsch8413]

Does knight help with actually obtaining a CDL here in Fontana, CA.?

[@infidoll]

Steve Hirsch They have a School is in Phoenix...

[@TimHollis3006]

Kevin has that gastric bypass body

[@scottsmith5774]

How come they don't have auto inflators

[@Layitdwn]

Y'all should let them go to a shipper were driver's sit 6 hours

[@reubengonzalez617]

Sherwin Brown g

[@stanleyanderson7280]

can we get a video about the reefer side

[@KnightTransportation1]

Have you watched any of the driving associate profiles? Check them out reefer side are all in those videos

[@gabrielgonzalez250]

esta empresa tiene camiones nuevos y automáticos y también tiene escuela de manejo si yo supiera manejar tractocamion les pediría trabajo

[@babayega_]

Does Knight require a strict background check? Will you guys hire anyone with a white collar feeling in their past? I'd really love to to be a part of this company but I have a stupid felony from my past. Would that hinder getting hired?

[@KnightTransportation1]

You can give us a call and we can talk about it.

[@michaelmedina8304]

Liked this driver didnt put up with no shit even if his boss was around

[@1masut]

It's been a curse my whole life but you'll always know where you stand with me.

[@chickenpermission]

betcha won't ride with me.

[@babayega_]

14:39 bro you got a ghost in the back that just reached up and closed the curtain. 💀👻👹👿👺😈👻👽👾

[@KnightTransportation1]

Joe you're sharp - you caught that didn't ya.

[@babayega_]

Knight Transportation can I ask you a question please? It's very urgent actually. I'm considering going into trucking. My entire life I've been an operations manager, director of operations, vice president of business operations, and finally vice president of business development. So I have a ton of business management experience. In 2015 due to some unfortunate events out of my control some things happened with my old company and to make an example or of be in order to make themself look good they charged me with embezzlement so that they can walk away free and clear. U was given a prison sentence and served about 20 months of it and got it early for good behavior. The problem is now I can't find any corporate hide that will hire me die to my focusing on my background. My question is does Knight hire people who may have any convictions in their past history? Or is it automatic disqualification. I have watched every single knifht video on your channel and it's really love to go with with your company but in not sure if I even have a chance. Can you tell me if it is at all possible to be hired by you if I was qualifies otherwise? I am actually really looking forward to starting off as a driver because I think at this point in my life (43 years old) I'd love to just got the open road and clear my thoughts for a while before maybe seeing if I could nicer internally to the office side of the company positions. Can you please advice? I mean if you don't got feelings just tell me. I can take the bad news. You won't be the first door that had slammed in my face so I'd rather hear the truth than to go through the fake hiring process and then be told something didn't add do so i don't qualify. Can your PLEASE let me know? Thank you so much in advance for your response.

[@CONTENTCREATOREDITS]

Are those trucks automatic ?

[@KnightTransportation1]

We have both. Which do you like?

[@roberthoovan4130]

How much do they pay new drivers

[@KnightTransportation1]

Can you give us a call? We can answer all your questions

[@kbuyer4995]

Do all the drivers at Knight talk non stop?

[@KnightTransportation1]

Nope many are actually pretty quite.

[@dougwalker849]

Fuck knight

[@1masut]

You only get one opportunity to tell game changers what matters. What good would it do to sit in silence as the miles pass. I talked as much about everything I could think of. Pages upon pages of notes were created. Unless someone speaks to be heard.. it's just words on deaf ears.

[@1masut]

​@@KnightTransportation1*quiet.... You're wheelcome

[@you7uber5]

Kevin looks like he's hating life

[@1masut]

Steven Z He was busy taking notes the whole time. Lots of info coming at him. like drinking from a fire hose. Trust me when I say he wasn't hating life

[@siamvictorzeronimo1761]

Want to become one of your driver?

[@KnightTransportation1]

Have you been to our website yet to find a job?

[@superbowlxlii07]

They don't talk about the pay scale they have, a driver's killer,, so I nice company for the owners, maybe office stuff but driver don't share the same opinion...

[@drsketch1]

Hernando Patiño if you work hard you do well.

[@Rock-Bottem1982]

I'm sorry, but these day runs that these higher ups are doing is NOTHING compared to real OTR driving. Put these same people in a truck for 1 month of straight OTR driving, then they may get a taste of what it's like driving OTR, not this petty city work

[@KnightTransportation1]

They do that too. That would make the video so long tho, who would actually watch that?

[@aarromortiz2810]

Don’t like guys like that driver he is rude just saying needs to be nicer not hard being nice goes a long way

[@morgansherman8496]

to much talking not driving
