Congrats Augustine. I'm Happy for You. Best of Luck. You deserve it.
There's bars, clubs, and restaurants downtown phoenix, Tempe and Scottsdale. There's outdoor activities like offroading, hiking, boating, paddleboarding, and kayaking.
My last truck with knight was a 2023 Volvo it has the best turning radius out of KW’s,Peterbilts,International & freight shakers.
Worked for Knight this past year. Been to the Phoenix yard many times, massive parking and driver lounge. Hopefully the money is better for you than it was for me. Was out 3-4 weeks at a time and barely brought home $800 a week. I’m single with no family and still was barely getting by. Hope it works out for you though! They do have great accounts and consistent lanes.
Bruhhh this is true af. I was Mon-Fri and was bringing home like $400 💀💀 best week I had was like $900 but I worked all week.
Damn y'all I work locally in ND home every night. Make between 1300 to 1900 every week after taxes
Daaam I feel it's like that with most companies because I was with stevens transport and it was the same 4-5 weeks out and I would only bring home $800-$1000
@dabd8175 yes it is good money but it sucks for new drives because they won't hired you bc of the insurance they think we don't have enough experience I think if I'm not wrong u have to have more than 2 years of experience or more I live in El Paso Tx and im struggling to find local truck driving jobs
You’ll make more driving local. Especially if you get your tanker & Hazmat endorsements I know circle K starts drivers making 95k+ a year delivering gas all day
I c why knight/swift dont pay good all unnecessary shit at there terminals make sure to get your twic card 4 the ports
Thats all the money they’ve stealing from the drivers
They are proof that drivers are willing to work for low pay for non monetary benefits. I rather make more money and pay the say $30 it costs to go to a bowling alley occasionally and a gym membership.
And thats why I quit the MFS two weeks ago.
@@BIGONE81I just quit too😂 I’m currently going to switch careers to be an electrician. Trucking ain’t it…
No different than apartment complexes charging extra because they have a computer room and conference room that I will never use. Rather live in a basic 1 bedroom apt and have an extra $500 a month
I’ve been thinking about getting into trucking and going with Knight Transportation. Let us know how everything goes. Congrats on the new job sir
I worked for them for 5 years as a O/O and did very well.out of Phoenix all good people. No problems.i retired from Knight in May 2020.
no no i suck at bowling and soccer. lol here in Michigan we are getting snow.
I give it to you, Ca WAS a great place to be with plenty to do. But you have to agree all those places have the potential to be the armpit of America on any given day
Why do you believe Knight Swift will be any different from CR England.
Tempe is a good area to hang out since ASU there . Gilbert, North Scottsdale has some good spots too
I enjoy watching your videos and the relaxing music you play.
Great video excellent background music
Guess the bowling alley and hoops are to make up for there being nothing to do around town.
Nothing? It's Phoenix......what are you smoking...
I worked for Navajo Express Inc they have a yard in Phoenix well actually Tolleson AZ n that is on the same exit as the Love's. Navajo rarely had issues with the pumps at Tolleson yard
Meth! Is what you do!😂😂😂
Hey Augustine, glad to see your trucking again. If you’re going to continue doing vids, be careful. Remember the Knight policy you signed. It warns you about social media. You’ll think everything is ok, then one day they’ll call you into the office and say, “Corporate has decided to release you because. . .” Oh, you live in Las Vegas yet you had to orientation in Phoenix? What’s up with that?
Sounds like you want to party. Go to Tempe, east of phoenix.. you’ll have fun.
You're on the west side, it sucks. Go to flying j on 59th & i10 and pick up a lot lizard. All the fun stuff in Phoenix is central downtown/uptown - east through Scottsdale & tempe.
I’ve been with knight for about 2 weeks now. Love it. How do you like it ?
Phoenix has world-class food. A decent downtown party section a big car scene. Two or three lakes the salt river dirt bikes sxs horses barret jackson
Jet skis paddle board mountain biking
The fuel pumps never worked when I was there. & no go on def,always go to the pilot off 99th
For a minute there I was seriously considering moving to the PHX area I like it down there.
Phoenix has a college party vibe in the downtown area. Plenty of dive bars.
Scottsdale
That’s Tempe or Scottsdale definitely no phoenix bro.
1:15 bro when you are at a home terminal or a terminal with a shop you need to go ask for help because they think the engine running it’s a mechanic doing a PM. Like they are all in the office they won’t come out.
Good taco 🌮 truck across from the speedway store on buckeye go under the bridge & it’s on the left hand side.
Congrats on the new employment. Hopefully Knight will be a better opportunity for you.
How long did you work for knight transportation ?
I cant believe its been almost 6 months already. Are you still @ Knight?
Crazy bro that waiting for me to come to phoenix too right now lol … I trying to see if I should
Hey dude I’m looking into buying a used knight logistics semi, I was wondering about the services and how well are the trucks maintained.
That McDonald's is on 67th Ave and Van Buren
Due to the strong Mormon influence, PHX is pretty tame.... But Nature4 and Hiking are great activities,,, South Mountain, Squaw Peak, CamelBack... Popago Park.... Up North you have show low,,,
I knew your ass was quiet in the class for reason lmao I'm the law enforcement dude that was there with you
Phoenix has been a hell whole for decades Phoenix, you should have researched that before you went there.
I'm from Phoenix avenues wrong side of town lol 😂😂
Good luck man.
Good driving !! Thank for video
My truck was with the same thread from like 5 drivers ago lol. Had a very low thread drive tires that were barely legal and then one day i noticed one of my steers had a deep cut so i got that changed. Some weeks went on then got 2 new drives. So at the end when i quit 2 out of 8 drives were new and 1 steer. A complete shitshow 😂
Glendale has a nice mall And places to go do things phoenix where you are is ghetto side of town unless you want to do a driveby fruiting
Cool video 😊
weres the freightliner
Must be alot of fun being associated with Swifties But Good Luck with the new job
I’m thinking about driving for swift, do you know someone who works for that company and do they pay good or are they just like CR England ?
As far as I know swift is a better company than England. But you’ll have to find out.
What's up with companies not having road ready equipment? Under Staffed Shop more than likely. Trucking! The Same Game But Different Name!
Welcome to the fam
Yea 67th Ave & Van Buren, you in da barrio foo
Do you know what drugs they test for with the hair follicle test? Specifically like prescription medication.
@@DP_TRUCK_89 I’m not an expert on drug tests I’d just call them and ask the recruiters. Check with your doctor too.
Good luck Auggie
Yep, your a winner, LOZl.
Yea for 25 yrs ...Always referred to pheonix as fene hole
Well, first you gotta have friends and family. Then you go down to downtown Phoenix where all the night life is or you go down to Scottsdale.
You throw mexican parties
Congratulations 🍾 🎉
Congratulations on the new gig.
For me, that fridge noise would need to be fixed.
Curious how engine brake and cruise control works on Volvo compared to Cascadia?
In my experience Cascadia works great with engine brake and cruise control. A Kenworth I drove sucked!
Congratulations 🎉
been with knight and swift both have different setups even if its both under knight I prefer knight but if i was a rookie I would go with swift we have higher number of crashes simple put we have the most trucks next to JB hunt while JB hunt will work you like a dog knight more laid back. Pay aint the best but what I needed was hometime being #1 priority and money 2nd my family isn't a 2nd place its always money 2nd that said swift or knight have more terminals then anyone else and because of that they can get you home more often then some these mom and pop. companies small and big bottom line all they care about is the bottom dollar don't let anyone say different some these small companies say they care but had many relatives get burned from them worse then what big companies do.
🔥🔥
yo, what was your truck number? I think I have your truck now. lol
Shit I forgot
How much do you get paid?
You never have time to do recreation get started.thats just show for knight and swift.
Ya deja esos jales vente para Walmart big homie
Good luck
Why in the world are you on duty waiting in line at a terminal that just wasted your clocks
😁
You barely touched Phoenix lol
First
Bum
67th Ave and van buren is definitely not ghetto try 35th Ave thats ghetto
Ur on the terrible side of town. There is a lot to do and a lot of really nice places
You will regret going to that company
Why do you work for a mega carrier? They're the ones destroying the trucking industry.
Lol at victim of crime comment
garbage part of town, no one goes to south central PHX
Golf, eat, drink...really nothing spectacular.
Knight sucks
You're in the industrial area and the West side of Phoenix is not good at all. Just like any other big city. Obviously you're not familiar with Phoenix downtown Phoenix Scottsdale there's a lot of nice areas of Phoenix. You just are not aware of
