The final night of the Technology & Maintenance Council Annual Meeting marked the introduction of its 67th general chairman and treasurer, Mark Kennedy.

Mark Kennedy says his journey from trailer technician to TMC chairman is a testament to curiosity and a willingness to step outside his comfort zone.

Transtex acquired assets of trailer aerodynamics supplier FleetAero from Knight-Swift and has entered into a strategic partnership with the truckload carrier.

Adam Miller, CEO of Knight-Swift Transportation, applauded ongoing enforcement work by the Department of Transportation and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.

Knight-Swift expressed optimism that capacity reductions will help improve market conditions, though the truckload carrier posted a net loss attributable to itself of $6.8 million in Q4.

Knight-Swift truck driver Michael Porter spent nearly a month hauling the U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree 3,700 miles, culminating in the tree's delivery to the West Lawn of the Capitol on Nov. 21.

The company posted net income of $7.86 million, or 5 cents a diluted share, for the three months ended Sept. 30. That compared with $30.5 million, 19 cents, a year earlier.

AAA Cooper Transportation, Midwest Motor Express and DHE Transportation would all be housed under the one brand from the start of 2026, President and CEO Charlie Prickett wrote.

The Phoenix-based truckload motor carrier posted net income of $34.2 million, or 21 cents a diluted share, for the three months ending June 30. That was 68.7% higher than last year.

Knight-Swift Transportation returned to the black in the first quarter of 2025 on the back of a jump in less-than-truckload revenue.
