About Knight Transportation

Knight Transportation is now called Knight-Swift Transportation Holdings Incorporated. It is a publicly traded company in the United States, based in Phoenix, Arizona. It was started in 1990 by two sets of brothers. They initially worked for Swift Transportation but started their own company, Knight Transportation.

They also have 13 truck and trailer sales locations. Knight-Swift Transportation has customers all over the United States, as well as customers in Canada and Mexico.
