  • First joining our fleet in 2001, few have left a mark here at our company like Steve Carr, who just reached his 3 MILLION milestone! The ultimate team player, he’s spent over 2 decades delivering excellence and developing strong relationships with his support staff along the way. In fact, he considers quite a few office employees as true friends — and they share that sentiment too. Many of them at our Phoenix Terminal celebrated with him a couple weeks ago, reflecting on years gone by and lessons they learned together. For Steve, he’s always kept it simple by prioritizing hard work and availing himself to help whenever needed. Now on his 4th truck as an owner operator, he shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon. One thing’s for certain though — he’s cemented a legacy that’ll outlast his time on the road. #DriveKnight #RoutetoaMillion #KnightLife

  • For nearly ten years, Anthony Evans has been more than a driver — he’s been a mentor. As a trainer at our #KnightPhoenix Refrigerated Terminal, he’s helped shape the careers of many new drivers, using the skills he developed during a 22-year military career: patience and adaptability. Anthony’s journey to trucking wasn’t immediate. After retiring from the military in 2003, he spent 12 years in the resort industry before deciding it was time for a change. “It was just something I always wanted to do,” he says. “And it gives you the freedom, for the most part, where you don’t have to deal with people all day, every day. Coming out of the resort business, you're constantly dealing with hotel guests and vendors—so I call this stress-free.” Within a year of driving, Anthony was approached about becoming a trainer. Given his extensive experience training soldiers in the military, the role felt like a natural fit. “I’ve done it all my adult life, so why not?” he says. “It gives you the opportunity to give back, to try and cultivate the next group of professional drivers.” Since stepping into the role, Anthony has developed an adaptive training style, prioritizing the needs of his students over rigid instruction. “As a trainer, you have to be able to adapt to the learning abilities of your student—not the other way around. What worked for the last person may not work with the next person.” To ensure success, he spends the first few days of training getting to know each student: understanding their goals, how they learn best, and what challenges they might face. Some need detailed explanations, while others learn best by doing. For Anthony, it’s all about meeting them where they are. We’re proud to have him within our fleet as a #KnightTrainer! #DriveKnight #DriverTraining #KnightLife

  • Before trucking, Tom's world revolved around music. Growing up in a talented family, he picked up the guitar at 11, played in bands with his father and brother, then later learned the fiddle. Creativity has always been a part of his life, not just through music but also as a painter. When things took a turn, he needed a new path. His brother, an oversized yacht hauler, helped him get started in transportation. Now, five years into his career as a professional driver, Tom has found his place on the road.

  • Please join us in welcoming Chad Allen as the new Terminal Manager for our Refrigerated team at #KnightSLC! Chad has been with Knight for about six months and has already embraced the company’s strong family atmosphere. In his new role, Chad is excited to continue building a strong culture and bond within the terminal while working toward shared success as a team. He looks forward to meeting people from across the company and gaining new experiences along the way. Outside of work, Chad and his wife, Michelle, who is a nurse, enjoy traveling and spending time at the beach. They have a big family with six kids and three grandkids. Chad is grateful for the support he has already received and is eager to get to know everyone even better. If you see him around, be sure to say hello! #DriveKnight #KnightSupport #KnightLife
