KNIGHT-SWIFT TRANSPORTATION

Knight-Swift

Knight-Swift is the largest full-truckload carrier in the US, with a diversified transportation offering. Pro forma for the US Xpress deal, about 82% of revenue derives from Knight's asset-based trucking business, with full truckload (for-hire dry van, refrigerated, and dedicated contract) making up 69% and less than truckload 13%. Truck brokerage and other asset-light logistics services make up 9% of revenue, with intermodal near 6%. Knight's intermodal operations use the Class I railroads for the underlying movement of its shipping containers and include drayage (regional trucking services to and from inland intermodal ramps/terminals). The remainder of revenue reflects services offered to shippers and third-party truckers, including equipment maintenance and leasing.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order Monday requiring commercial truck drivers to demonstrate English language proficiency, a move that could significantly impact the logistics and transportation sectors.
What Happened: The order, announced by The White House&#8217;s official Rapid Response account, directs the Department of Transportation to enforce existing regulations under 49 C.F.R. 391.11(b)(2) that mandate drivers must &#8220;read and speak the English language sufficiently&#8221; to operate commercial vehicles safely.
&#8220;Drivers need to provide feedback to their employers and customers and receive related directions in English. This is common sense,&#8221; The White House said. 
&#8220;Within 60 days, the Secretary of Transportation shall rescind the 2016 guidance document on English language proficiency and issue new enforcement procedures,&#8221; the executive order states. The order also requires that violations result in drivers being placed &#8220;out-of-service,&#8221; effectively grounding them until compliance is achieved.
This directive follows Trump&#8217;s March 1 executive order designating English as the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44066047/trump-to-declare-english-official-language-of-us-what-does-executive-mean?utm_source=chatgpt.com">official national language</a> of the United States, continuing his administration&#8217;s focus on language policy.

Trump Orders English-Only Rule For Truck Drivers: 'This Is Common Sense,' Says White House, With Enforcement And Penalties Set Within 60 Days

Saia Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SAI#NASDAQ">SAI</a>) reported results that "shocked even the bears," with significantly worse-than-expected yields, according to JPMorgan.
The Saia Analyst: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/58502bcfee7bf6000190795f/brian-ossenbeck">Analyst Brian Ossenbeck</a> maintained an Overweight rating, while slashing the price target from $436 to $299.
The Saia Thesis: Faced with pricing pressure due to intensifying competition, the higher weight per shipment did little to support margins and adversely impacted headline revenue," Ossenbeck said in the note.
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
Contract renewals decelerated, with "customers shifting to other options," the analysts stated. Peers like TFI International rebuilt its network with small and medium businesses or scaled into larger network from scratch, like Knight-Swift Transportation Holdings Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KNX#NYSE">KNX</a>), he added.
Rival XPO Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XPO#NYSE">XPO</a>) may announce its second-quarter guidance closer to consensus expectations, given the "combination of self-help initiatives in cost savings and less net new door capacity additions compared to Saia," Ossenbeck further wrote.
SAI Price Action: Shares of Saia had declined by 2.91% to $238.47 at the time of publication on Monday.
