Inside Knight Transportation’s Atlanta Terminal: Where Drivers Feel Right at Home
At Knight Transportation, every terminal has its own personality, but the Atlanta terminal stands out for its strong sense of connection and community. The team takes pride in knowing every driver by name and creating an environment that’s open, friendly, and supportive.
“All our drivers, we know them by their first name, not their truck number.”
That simple statement captures what makes the Atlanta terminal special. Whether a driver is based locally or just stopping in, they’re welcomed and treated like part of the team.

A Culture That Feels Different
Drivers often say they can feel the difference as soon as they walk through the door. Instead of cold shoulders, they’re met with smiles, conversation, and genuine care. Even when things get busy, the Atlanta staff makes time to assist every driver, regardless of which terminal they’re from.
That kind of accessibility and personal connection makes all the difference. It’s the reason drivers feel supported, valued, and confident that they’re in the right place.
"It's not like after 5:00 you're on your own. We give drivers our personal numbers so they can reach us anytime if they need something."
Efficient Operations, Exceptional Support
The Atlanta terminal supports both dry van and refrigerated divisions, managing around 121 trucks in total. The terminal also shares its facility with Abilene Motor Express, whose drivers have full access to the parking lot, amenities, and maintenance shop.
The on-site shop, open Monday through Friday, provides quick and efficient service. Drivers can drop their trucks off during home time and return to find repairs completed, often within a single day. That convenience allows drivers to focus on rest and what matters most, knowing their equipment is in good hands.
More Than a Workplace
For the team members in Atlanta, Knight Transportation isn’t just a job, it’s a place where people genuinely care about one another.
“This is my team, I love it here. I’ve never looked back. I’ve never updated my resume. I would never dream of leaving Knight.”
Whether you’re a driver looking for a supportive terminal to call home or just curious about what makes Knight’s culture so strong, Atlanta is a shining example of what it means to belong at Knight Transportation.
