    I’m thinking how happy I am that I’ve contributed every year for the last 39 years into a retirement account I started back in 1979.

    Knight-Swift buys Abilene Motor Express, adding ~$100M in annual revenue
    Mar. 16, 2018 6:05 PM ET|About: Knight-Swift Transportation... (KNX)|By: Carl Surran, SA News Editor
    Knight-Swift Transportation (NYSE:KNX) says it has agreed to acquire Virginia-based Abilene Motor Express for an undisclosed sum, its first deal since the completion of Knight's merger with Swift last September.
    Abilene brings KNX a business that includes 400 trucks, an estimated $100M in annual revenue and an operating ratio "in the low 90s," according to an SEC filing.
    Analysts at KeyBanc say the buy should add an estimated $0.02-$0.03/share to KNX earnings and signals that the company potentially is in the market “for additional tuck-in acquisitions."
