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.

Good job to work for. Good equipment, great dispatchers, well maintained trucks. If you need anything done to your truck they’ll take care of it.Wish the pay was a little more.

Still waiting for my detention pay. Not sure how they get drivers to stay with them after they do the math. They say the right things but their actions make them no different than any other big carrier company. They'll use people up as long as allowed.

-Good driver training-convenient terminals nationwide-lack of transparency with rules and bonuses-U-turn policy is overkill and no one is on the same page in the office as to when they're allowable-long wait times (sometimes up to 30-40 min) in the queue to talk to dispatch.-lots of incompetency with accounts managers-miles are paid from zip code to zip code so getting paid miles that are 10...

I joined knight transportation last year. I didn't have any good experience.the only ONE thing they have is good CDL Training.if you are new to Trucking try to pay in privet school and get your CDL, do NOT get stuck with Knight or others.they are using new drivers for low pay.

Great place to work if you are motivated, work well independently and communicate. I felt supported by the terminal staff and appreciate the open-door policy. Nice/newer trucks and good environment. It all depends on what you put into the job. Good luck!
