What we are: a provider of multiple truckload transportation services, which involve the movement of full trailer or container loads of freight from origin to destination. Knight was created by four cousins, Randy, Gary, Keith and Kevin. All four worked for Swift Transportation before starting Knight Transportation in 1990.
They envisioned a better way to do trucking. They wanted focus primarily on safety with our driving associates and service for our customers, while being the lowest cost carrier, debt free with first in class equipment. With one service center in Phoenix, AZ, a handful of trucks and a desire to grow, the four cousins went to work.
Today, Knight is led by Dave Jackson (CEO), Adam Miller (CFO) Kevin Quast (COO) with the founders Kevin, Keith and Gary, who continue to play intricate roles in guiding the continual growth of the business. Knight operates more than 4,600 trucks, 30 plus services centers, with revenues generating over $1B annually.
