Knight Transportation Celebrates 35 Years on the Road – New Documentary
Honoring Our Past, Driving the Future – Watch the 35th Anniversary Documentary
This year marks a major milestone for Knight Transportation – 35 years of service, growth, and innovation in the transportation and logistics industry. To commemorate this anniversary, we are proud to release a special 35th anniversary documentary that tells the story of how we became one of the largest and most respected transportation companies in the United States.
From One Truck to a Nationwide Leader
In 1990, four cousins-Randy, Gary, Kevin, and Keith Knight-launched Knight Transportation with a single truck and a bold vision: to build a company that would set a new standard in customer service and driver support. What started in Phoenix, Arizona, quickly grew into a powerful force in the freight industry, known for its driver-first culture, operational excellence, and relentless pursuit of improvement.
As the documentary highlights, our success has always been rooted in our people. From the early days to today, our team of drivers, office staff, mechanics, and leaders have embraced a culture of hard work, respect, and continuous growth.
A Culture Built on Relationships and Results
- A family-oriented culture where relationships come first
- A deep commitment to safety, reliability, and professionalism
- A belief in developing talent from within
- A focus on sustainable, long-term growth
As one leader in the video puts it, “They cared for me personally, before they cared for me professionally.”
"They cared for me personally, before they cared for me professionally."
