New pay package & runs for OWNER OPERATORS
ushers in new day at Knight Transportation
Knight Transportation, a debt-free powerhouse with $767 million in revenues, is growing its owner operator fleet with a new pay package and appealing regional runs.
“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.”
Owner operators who contract with Knight will notice a three-cent compensation increase and will receive a new, instant five-cent fuel discount as well as a fuel protection plan for deep fuel savings. Coupled with great miles every week, it is easy to see how owner operators can earn big money quickly.
“We want to provide the best operating environment for owner operators however they choose to run,” says Romanek. “We have a network of 35 service centers providing freight across the country, maintenance shops that are open 24/7 offering discounts, and we dispatch operators 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.”
To round out the package, affordable insurance options can save even more money with medical and dental coverage available for operators and their families, as well as affordable options for bobtail, physical damage, and occupational accident insurance.
For the driver ready to start their own business in partnership with a true industry leader, Knight also offers a lease purchase program to qualified drivers. “We offer quality fleet maintained trucks with a top notch maintenance repair program,” Romanek says. “Coupled with the support we provide for our lease drivers, this is a program we are proud of and have really seen our drivers succeed.”
Based out of Phoenix, Arizona, Knight Transportation has been named as one of Forbes Magazine’s Top 200 Best Small Companies for 14 years in a row.
