Description: Knight Transportation Inc. was incorporated in Arizona and is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange. Headquartered in Phoenix, Ariz., the company provides primarily asset-based dry van truckload and temperature-controlled truckload carrier services, along with non-asset-based brokerage services. At December 31, 2008, the company operated 29 asset-based dry van service centers, six asset-based temperature controlled service centers, and 12 non-asset-based brokerage branches. Knight Transportation concentrates its asset-based freight operations within an approximate 1,000 mile radius of its service centers. The brokerage branches enable the company to expand its customer service offerings and manage customers' freight shipments that do not fit the asset-based model.

The company also had under contract 185 tractors owned and operated by independent contractors.
