They have up thru 12 levels of pay ...
but regardless of how many years of trucking experience you have
everyone starts at the same "starting rate" level.
That 0-200 mile pay is actually for 50-200 miles.
0-50 miles they pay you an hourly rate.
Team pay is split between the 2 drivers ... each getting $0.20 per mile ... for every paid mile that the truck runs (regardless of who is driving).
Knight is one of the few trucking companies that apparently penalizes you for taking longer mileage trips ... THE LONGER THE RUN, THE LESS YOU GET PAID PER MILE. You will not find this on their website. Only after you have applied to them will they send this information out to you.
There ARE drivers who have been there a long time. If you live close to one of their terminals ... you WILL get home on a regular basis. Which is really nice. And, like any trucking company, they do have some 98 mph dispatchers ... while their trucks are governed at 62 mph.

It just doesn't seem fair to be...but less and less is fair these days !!
Why do semi's have to drive slower than the rest of the traffic?
For fuel economy reasons ... which amounts to big money for a trucking company ... optimum fuel mileage is considered between 60-62 mph.
Even tho the max speed limit in many states is 65-75 mph.
Swift used to govern all their trucks at 55 mph ... until the state of Arizona (their home-base) told them that they were going to ticket everyone of their trucks for impeding traffic ... until it became financially prohibitive ... they finally upped their governed speed to 65.
