Knight Transportation, Phoenix, is growing its owner-operator fleet with a new pay package and appealing regional runs.


Owner operators who contract with Knight will notice a 3-cent compensation increase and will receive a new, instant 5-cent fuel discount as well as a fuel protection plan for deep fuel savings.

A network of 35 service centers provides freight across the country, maintenance shops that are open 24/7 offering discounts. Operators are dispatched from a service center close to where they live so they can get home on a regular basis and have one dispatcher to interact with.

The package includes affordable insurance options for medical and dental coverage as well as bobtail, physical damage, and occupational accident insurance.

Knight also offers a lease purchase program to qualified drivers.

"As the tenth largest truckload carrier in the nation, Knight Transportation is a stable home for owner operators in an uncertain economy," says Sarah Romanek, owner-operator department manager at Knight. "Now is an especially great time to partner with us because we've just raised the compensation for owner operators and added many other advantages to really boost profitability."
