Instead of the widely recognized red and charcoal gray trucks that Knight Transportation and Knight Refrigerated use, each of the anniversary trucks features a silver finish with a special decal incorporating Knight’s logo.
Knight began operation in July 1990 with a handful of trucks and has grown to approximately 4,800 tractors and revenues of more than $1 billion. Knight operates approximately 1,800 Volvo models in its fleet.
He said the Volvo VNL models were a natural choice to mark the occasion because of Volvo’s long-standing relationship with Knight, dating back to 1996.
The Volvo VNL 670 is the company’s best-selling truck and features a 61-inch tall sleeper and is available with the Volvo D13 or D16 engine, or the Cummins ISX15. The Volvo I-Shift automated manual transmission is standard.
Knight assigned the anniversary trucks to terminals throughout the U.S. The first two special edition trucks were displayed earlier this year at a celebration for associates and their families at corporate headquarters in Phoenix.
