Knight-Swift’s third-quarter revenue before fuel grew 8% year over year. Last quarter, the firm posted its first meaningful increase in almost two years, particularly for the flagship truckload operations. LTL top line came in flat on revenue quality efforts, though industry demand is stable.
The legacy Knight truckload operations historically ranked among the most efficient and profitable carriers in trucking, with an average OR in the mid-80s before the Swift merger.
While industrial end markets are finally improving, economic fallout from US tariffs or an oil price shock could restrict demand recovery in 2026.
