About Knight-Swift

Knight-Swift Transportation is by far the largest full-truckload carrier in the United States, but its service offering is quite diversified. About 71% of revenue derives from its asset-based trucking business, with full-truckload (including for-hire dry van, refrigerated, and dedicated contract) making up 58% of total top line and less-than-truckload at 13%. Truck brokerage and other asset-light logistics services make up 15% of revenue, with intermodal near 8%. Knight's intermodal operations use the Class-I railroads for the underlying movement of its shipping containers and also include drayage. The remainder of revenue reflects various services offered to shippers and third-party truckers including insurance, equipment maintenance, and equipment leasing.
