 Winner,
2007 SmartWay Excellence Award
Knight Transportation, Inc. is a truckload carrier offering dry van,
refrigerated, and brokerage services to customers through a growing
network of 36 service centers located throughout the United States.
As a SmartWay partner, Knight Transportation continues its longstanding
commitment to the efficient use of our nation’s energy resources.
This commitment is illustrated through a strong company culture of fuel
economy management, coupled with a constant search for cost-effective,
fuel saving technologies. Knight has also illustrated national leadership
and environmental commitment by being at the forefront in testing and
implementing clean burning, low emissions engines throughout its fleet.
These efforts, combined with extensive Driving Associate training, investment
in idle reduction technologies, equipment specification optimization,
and tire pressure management are all key to Knight’s business
plan.
“Knight Transportation views the SmartWay Transport Partnership
as a positive force in promoting and recognizing the trucking industry’s
environmental efforts. With significant technology investments and the
track record of environmental improvements that have followed, our industry
cannot afford to let past perceptions linger in the minds of our nation’s
lawmakers or in the minds of the motoring public.”
