About Knight Transportation
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.

We believe in everyone giving their best, being honest, mutually respecting others and having passion for continual learning. This is the difference in our company. It incorporates our willingness to take personal accountability and our willingness to accept the rules of engagement in how we work together. The attribute of a strong work ethic has been passed down from our founders since the beginning.
Looking good is nothing, but being good is everything. We are thrilled when focus, attention, and spotlight is shined where we can improve. This requires a special blend of humility, courage, and a genuine desire to be good, which results in extraordinary outcomes and greatness.
Our experience has shown that hard working, smart individuals focus on solving problems and improving efficiencies. This is our greatest differentiator. Our goal as an organization is to be the very best in our industry. The best in profitability, returns, culture, growth, innovation and ideas.
We have a saying here at Knight, “Culture is not the most important thing – it is the only thing.” This is what makes us who we are.
