Knight-Swift Transportation continues advancing toward its goal of positioning itself as one of the most competitive companies in the U.S. trucking industry.
Knight-Swift Transportation continues advancing toward its goal of positioning itself as one of the most competitive companies in the U.S. trucking industry. In recent days, the company took an important step by announcing that, soon, all of its freight transportation units will operate under a single brand: AAA Cooper Transportation.
Headquartered in Phoenix, Knight-Swift informed its customers that, starting January 1, AAA Cooper Transportation, Midwest Motor Express, and DHE Transportation will be consolidated under this new identity, according to company President and CEO Charlie Prickett. This strategy strengthens Knight-Swift’s position, as over the past year the company has worked intensively to expand its workforce and solidify its standing among the leading transportation companies in the United States.
The rise of Knight-Swift: terminals, investment, and rising results
Previously, Knight-Swift had announced plans to acquire LTL Dependable Highway Express operations to reinforce its presence in the West Coast market segment. Through this agreement, Knight-Swift added 14 new terminals and 465 doors to its LTL network, with 11 of those facilities located in California.
Additionally, Knight-Swift played an active role in the auction of Yellow’s assets, a company that had ranked as the third-largest player in the LTL sector. Knight-Swift invested a total of $51.3 million in 13 former Yellow properties, making it the fourth-largest acquirer in that round. Later, the company added another $2.2 million to secure leases for an additional 10 properties, further expanding its volume and footprint across the U.S.
According to data from the second quarter 2025 report, Knight-Swift has experienced significant growth. Excluding fuel surcharges, the company reported a 28.4% year-over-year increase, with daily shipments up 21.7% and revenue per hundredweight (excluding fuel surcharge) up 9.9%.
The unit operated an average of 4,193 tractors in the second quarter, compared to 3,249 tractors during the same period last year, according to the report.
The future of Knight-Swift
In a letter to customers, AAA Cooper President and CEO Charlie Prickett stated that the consolidation of its main LTL carriers will not affect current pricing, data exchanges, SCAC codes, or existing points of contact.
In the letter, Prickett wrote: “Thanks to your trust, we have successfully integrated two regional brands, expanded into more than 50 new markets, and established around 40,000 new transportation routes across our network.”
“This integration took place alongside the ongoing transition of MME and DHE to ACT’s operational and administrative systems, with final migration to ACT’s financial systems completed in July 2025,” added Pickett.
Knight-Swift plans to release its third-quarter 2025 results on October 22, after market close, where further growth is expected from the company as it continues to expand.
