I worked for knight 3 years started off there before i came local. I was out there tulare, ca yard. They are a good company i got awesome miles 2500-3000k miles a week, i was out 2-3 weeks and 3 days home. They had a good safety and productivity monthly bonus. They have terminals laid out all over the country so alot of the time parking isn’t an issue. Free laundry, free gym, free showers, free parking, and a store inside to buy food. You meet the personal in person so i knew all the dms, and safety managers by name. Just be careful tho because they do watch online videos about content including their name.
There’s a reason there’s so many containers in the Phoenix yard & you will be running OTR & it’s the perfect time for you 2 learn about running in the winter 🥶 & chaining up in Colorado,Washington
Oregon,Idaho etc & remember 1 thing experience is Key 2 success in any biz & don’t be SCARED of running OTR,Real truckers always have 1 year OTR experience & winter ❄️ driving under their belt..
Great video keep them coming..i love the background music….at the end
Bro dont talk to much jazz about your company or youll be looking for a new job again soon. Stay safe.
The Phoenix terminal is where you are picking up the truck?That means your terminal will be the Phoenix terminal & not Las Vegas.I ran OTR for knight for 13 months & where you get your truck assigned that will be your home terminal,also remember that the ports are slow & when your not hauling containers you will be running OTR since your going to be the new guy on the ports account.
Lmao 😂😂😂😂😂 back to the drawing board.
Check your bunk heater 2 make sure it works you’ll need it.
Congrats bro I wish you the best and glad yu found a job in wit Swift now so welcome to the team lol
Damn that’s so depressing.
What depressing ?
Living in a truck. That definitely ain’t for me.
Seriously some love it and get old and waste their young years away. And the one's who are smart get out it find something local which is the Best or get involved to do something else.
Glad for you bro!! I have something similar happen with Martin too. They are a F joke
Volvo handles like a car. Pretty nice!
Yup
Lol being excited for working at knight
Lol
Lol
Phoenix waste management is hiring, bus company is hiring everyone is hiring local driving jobs in phoenix
Remember that everyone else’s opinion and journey isn’t yours port experience will make you more patient that’s for sure keep that Volvo stocked with food/water,stay blessed.
GLAD YOU FOUND DECENT CARRIER ! GOOD DRIVING
Also, did you even "Train" and "Test" with Knight...? You didn't mention anything.
Come to a real company who does port services, Duncan and Son Lines Im a trainer here, been here for almost 6 years, we train youmin the ports.... Main yard is at Buckeye, Az...
How much they pay per mile ?,
@manueljosuerequenavidal2464 sorry i didnt answer your question, on top of all that, Iget 56 cents per mile...
Good luck Augustine
Congrats man on the new gig. Just came across your video and decided to check you out because of SFG hat lol. Stay strong bro and Go Giants!
Fuck yea, congrats on the new job bro. Knight is sweet.
Damn bro You company didn't give you a plane ticket. You got to drive all that way
Tulare to Vegas ain’t that far. Under 500 miles
Bad sign
I would 100% prefer to drive 1000 miles to flying.
Driving with all of your stuff is far better than flying.
Never a fan of having the truck on all night then run it by day. That is why you need a tripak it's like a generator on back of cab powers all electric in truck, charges batteries, ac/heater in bunk beds area stays on for 10hrs at a time, saves you diesel and wear on engine extends life. I believe about a gallon of diesel per hour.
That's funny once you leave California you enter America lol good luck on the new Job man you need to come to Estes Express you would love it man look them up you stay I'm hotels and top pay over .88 mile damm love me a Volvo the best truck love the ride
Aye good luck my boy I'll be watching the new moves 👀💯
No one ever believed me, pre $0.99 cents any size coca-cola, the Coke taste soo goood. It's so good, I have diabetes now. 🤣
I worked for Swift. The truck stays running above 60 degrees or below 32 I believe. It has a 5 minute idle shutdown inside that temperature range. There might be a way to override the idle shutdown, I just don’t know about Volvos
Congrats, Let us know how the Volvo drives down the grade.
That good to see your pushing
I worked knight reefer for a few months it’s a great company based on how you’re gonna run been a mentor and all yeah it’ll be worth your while, I only left for medical reasons but I’ve thought about coming back but for .48 a mile wasn’t worth it for me unless I could be a trainer and start at .53 a mile then it’d probably be worth it for me but now I’m at J.B. Hunt and it’s actually working out great for me
Be careful with the containers. They can be top-heavy and will topple if you turn too fast.
Not to mention checking your twist locks and pin locks
Glad to see you back man!!!
Best of luck. Make the most of it
Good deal...Wish you success man
Ports are “Very Slow “ right now so expect to do dry van! Which is not that bad!! I work at knight ports out of Las Vegas. Out M-F home on the weekends and sometimes you can do a 10 hr in Vegas too So it’s not bad at all.
Yeah, since most of it is in the triangle states around Nevada I figured I could get back to Vegas maybe two times a week.

Was a subscriber but last video in THE garage wasn't really cool..
Facts!!!
@@extremepickswhat was not cool about it ?
You will love the volvo, outside the role stability going around curves ,sucks , .. it does have an idle shutoff
Big knight
The founder was cool. I didn't know that about the Coke.
Knight transportation ! U mean knight-swift so u kinda work 4 swift 2
Cypress truck lines.rented me a fully loaded rav4 with subwoofer and sunroof lol.still wasn't a fan of it.toyota quality has gone down hill
What do you think of Cypress? I am here in fl and am looking at potentially going with them.
@leagueofotters2774 just started.seems like a great company to start with. There's quite of few ppl that use to work here that came back if that says anything. the trucks are all newer and well taken care of. All tires are changed at 8/32.their maintenance is really good. Otr starts at 54cpm at 6 months 56cpm its mainly southeast. I think regional/local starts 52 cpm. All the employees seem happy.its a family owned company that listens to drivers if theirs any issues.
@@leagueofotters2774 do you have your cdl?
@@floridaman1776 No, I would most likely be going to their school sometime next year.
@@floridaman1776 Yeah, I have not found many bad reviews and have heard about people leaving cypress then coming back....it seems like they are a solid company.
Best of luck. I’m with kold Trans refer division of knight
The fridge gonna keep u up.... need to get that fixed asap....
Honestly, McD's Fry's were the MAIN reason I ever went to them, sometimes for other things, but they had the BEST Fry's of anyone.
However, you apparently don't know, they ARE NOT "good" anymore.... Their last Cooking Oil Change made them terrible now. Yes, they have a "tinge" of the good taste, which is why we will still go for the Fry's, but I'm to the point now that I don't even want to go for them anymore, because I CAN TELL the difference. The Oil they switched to right after the Original Tallow Oil, still tasted good, even though not "as" good, but the latest oil change, it's junk, and Seed Oils are massively BAD for you, both as is, and when heating up, Tallow actually wasn't, we were lied to.
Congrats 👏
Good luck!
You should have never quit
Good luck bud....
Orale dude Buelfert hook u up with a jale. 😂 Hey Augie keep it up and keep trying homie we all go through changes to find that itch. ( Don't let anyone get you down puro Califas vato. I support you.
About time I heard from you Ramos.
Wats the logic behind not eating the burgers but eating fries ant their cola?? 1:27
Congratulations
Lots of luck
Still can’t believe someone didn’t hire him because a broken light

No APU? Be safe. Be happy you have a job.

Hey so quick question. Is the pay gong to be lower in Vegas than when you were at England in California? Just curious to see if the pay varies by state with a mega carrier.
Not sure from what I hear all on duty activity is paid in California but than again your paying California tax so it probably doesn’t matter.
Did you use my Driver code
Low key look like you tired of trucking get out while you still can because no one hires truckers only truckers
What’s that supposed to mean
@@BlessednFreethat no company or business outside of trucking will hire truck drivers I think is what he meant.
@@ItsLikeFerrariTrue... outside of the trucking industry when it comes to hiring truckers, employers have some sort of stigma about it.
@@Nobluffbuff I don't buy that. I have a bachelor's degree, have worked a lot of different jobs, trucking is just one more. Not sure why it would matter to employers lol
Congratulations we are proud of you Augustine ….stop job hopping..find a good company & retire. Or buy your own truck 🤦🏿♂️😂
Bro the Volvo is the worst truck in my opinion if you work for Knight-Swift as s company driver because it doesn’t have pass smart. The orher trucks have a feature they call pass smart that allows you to go 67 or 68 mph when you double tap the fuel pedal for about 1 hour per day to make it easier to pass slower moving vehicles. The Volvos don’t have this feature though
We can go 67 all day at my company yay me
Dry van or reefer
Gl
How could you train any One when you have no clue what you are doing
omg....DK....still laughing my ass off.....oh jeez....oh god....Whew.....too funny. Does he not see it? He contradictes himself every other fucking sentence. Its soo hard to listen. But it's so funny and insane. Its good comedic relief.
OH did you here him.."Being unemployed sucks Dude"....Wow....really... Jesus H.
" i feel like im at the big leagues" dont drink that Kool aid brother jaja they are, not you, being at mega carrier is being at the bottom feeder.
Lol y didn’t u take the bus
Stay away from the ports
Bro I work in the ports FYI Lear tge pots quick
Damn man 2 large fries ?
Those fries contain 19 ingredients including unhealthy seed oils.
