Knight Transportation Named Target’s 2025 Carrier of the Year
Knight Transportation is proud to earn Target’s 2025 Asset Carrier of the Year award, an honor that highlights our commitment to performance, partnership, and service excellence.
Each year, Target recognizes carriers that excel in the metrics that matter most: on-time pickup and delivery, safety, agility, and communication. However, this award goes beyond performance data alone. It represents the reliability and consistency required to support one of the nation’s most dynamic retail supply chains.
What This Award Represents
Target’s supply chain runs on speed, precision, and adaptability. Within this fast-moving network, carriers play a critical role in keeping products flowing efficiently – from origin to store shelves and ultimately into customers’ hands.
To earn Carrier of the Year, teams must consistently exceed expectations across several key areas, including:
- Service
- Proactive communication
- Operational agility
- Safety performance
Together, these efforts demonstrate how Knight supports Target’s network day in and day out.
A True Team Effort
Behind this achievement is a collaborative effort across multiple teams and disciplines. Success at this level is never the result of one person or group – it’s build through coordinated execution and shared accountability.
We would like to recognize those who helped lead the charge:
- Account Management – Paul Froke, On-Site Minnesota Senior Account Manager
- Sales Support – Matt Johnston, VP of National Sales
- Driving Associates – Every driver who hauled a Target load
- Operations Team – Working behind the scenes to plan, problem-solve, and support our drivers
- Extended Support Teams – Credit/Billing, General Managers, and KNX counterparts
The Power of Partnership
Strong partnerships are built on trust, transparency, and shared goals. Our collaboration with Target reflects all three – creating an environment where continuous improvement and innovation can thrive.
This award underscores the strength of that partnership and the results that come from working together toward a common objective: delivering for the customer.
While we are proud of this recognition, we are even more focused on what comes next. Knight Transportation remains committed to raising the bar, strengthening partnerships, and continuing to deliver the high level of service out customers expect.
We extend our sincere thanks to Target and to every team member who played a role in making this achievement possible.
