    Just imagine the combinations going down the road:

    Knight/Swift/Central/Kool/Kold tractor pulling a Swift, Knight, Central, Kool Trans, or Kold Trans trailer

    You promise they will be on the road?

    I wonder what the real motivation is?

    Knight hurting for money?
    The few of their drivers I have talked to, say no miles.

    It seems to be more of a knight take over of swift. Knight management will be running the show

    Combining their fortunes for more money to give to the ATA, perhaps?
