Meet our #KnightTrainer of the month — Josh! With nearly 7 total years and over a million miles under his belt with Knight, Josh embodies the essence of a driver trainer. Nearly 2 decades ago (long before his time with our team), he pivoted towards trucking after a 5-year stint in the US Army. This sudden career change proved to be difficult — forced to navigate the early days on his own — no mentor, no manual. Reflecting on this experience, he shared, “I wouldn’t want anybody else to have to go through that.” That’s why he became a trainer, committed to helping new drivers avoid the lack of direction he initially faced. Josh’s approach to training is structured around what he calls the "Five Cs": Compassion, Communication, Consistency, Congruence, and Confidence. He believes that trainers should communicate clearly, be patient, and build a steady, positive environment. "You can't be out here losing your cool on these students... If you can't be compassionate with where they are in their skill set and understand that, hey, at one point in your career, you were there too... you're not helping anybody," he shared. Going beyond the basics, Josh provides his trainees with a book he created that includes everything from pre-trip inspection tips to logging hours. Additionally, he's developed planning tools to simplify trip planning, ensuring his trainees feel prepared when they go solo. But training doesn’t stop once his students graduate — he makes himself available for advice, even years after they’ve left his truck. “I'm here for you even if you leave Knight,” he said. The role of a trainer brings financial benefits, including bonus matches and extra miles, but Josh emphasizes that passion and commitment should be the primary motivators. For those who are interested in training, he suggests, “If you had a bad experience with your trainer or didn't get any training, becoming a trainer is a great way to make sure others don’t go through the same." We’re proud to recognize Josh as Trainer of the Month for his dedication to fostering a new generation of safe, confident drivers. #DriveKnight #KnightPhoenix #KnightLife

Halloween’s over. That means we’re headed straight for Thanksgiving and the holidays. It’s a time filled with celebration, good food, and buying or receiving stuff — LOTS of stuff. From all the decor and the feasts on our tables to shopping sprees, let’s remember who helped make it possible: TRUCKERS 🫶 #DriveKnight #KnightLife #ThankaTrucker

The results are FINALLY in — let’s hear it for the Highest-Performing Knight Terminals in September 👏 At this point, #KnightMemphis is synonymous with the award. They’ve once again claimed the top spot among Large Terminals with an unrivaled operating ratio! Throughout 2024, this group has upheld a standard of excellence and consistency. #KnightReno led our pack of Small Terminals! Bianca and her group have proved that they’re a force to be reckoned with 💪 We commend our driving associates, support staff, and shop technicians at these locations for making this all happen 🙌 #DriveKnight #KnightLife #KnightSupport

Historically, our “Fleet of Heroes” trucks have represented different branches in the United States military — paying homage to those who’ve served on behalf of our nation and its freedoms. In 2022, we added another tractor to the fold — one dedicated to law enforcement, firefighters, and EMS providers — first responders to local cries for help. To us, it was important to recognize these heroes too. Five years ago, a bipartisan group of senators passed legislation marking October 28th as National First Responders Day. Thank you, first responders, for answering the call of duty in our communities! #DriveKnight #KnightLife #NationalFirstRespondersDay
