Pros

Nice drivers plenty of terminals free cloth washing and drying.decent equipment they dont bother you as you work. take many days off as you like plenty of freight.

Cons

knight took over and cut are cpm rate. if it wasnt for the fsc earning a paycheck would be impossible. losing 30% in revenue each month due to the rates being cut. This owner op divison is going downhill FAST!!. It takes 3000 miles to bank 900 bucks!!!!!!!!.. Knight is forcing lease driver out. It never was this bad its getting worst. Lease drivers are quiting left to right. After the lease is completed the buyout is 20% above the retail price without a APU system which is insane and impossible for that driver to own that truck. This place is ran like a state prison your a number. Its embarrassing to say i work here. leaving is the only solution fot this madness.
