Refrigerated
Why Choose Refrigerated?
If you are looking for plenty of miles and to stay out over the road for longer durations, Knight’s refrigerated division could be the right choice for you.
Hauling refrigerated freight brings an added sense of pride. Your refrigerated freight can be essential items such as food, produce, frozen goods, or even medicine.
Why Join Knight Refrigerated?
Knight Refrigerated drivers have the option to spend more days over the road if they choose because the average length of haul tends to be longer. Longer lengths of haul also includes the convenience of spending less time transferring trailers. We can help create the right schedule to meet your and your family’s financial and home time needs.

The Refrigerated Lifestyle
Run Options
Depending on freight availability, Knight Transportation offers refrigerated truck driver positions designed for your lifestyle. Want to balance home time with strong miles? Our regional routes keep you in a designated area, allowing for frequent visits with loved ones. Do you crave adventure and want to maximize your earning potential? Over-the-road (OTR) positions put the country at your fingertips while keeping your reefer running strong. At Knight, we understand refrigerated transport demands focus, and we offer opportunities that match your goals, whether it’s staying connected regionally or experiencing the open road.
Truck drivers keep America moving. On top of getting essential goods delivered safely and on time, refrigerated truck drivers have the added responsibility of making sure the goods are kept at a stable temperature. Produce, medicine, ice cream, beverages, and frozen food are all examples of freight that you would find in a refrigerated trailer. Attention to detail matters as these goods are transported so that they can reach their destination in the proper condition.
With this increased responsibility comes increased pay. Reefer drivers typically earn more pay due to a higher cent per mile (CPM) and longer length of haul. Refrigerated trailers also have the ability of hauling dry freight as well. This added flexibility opens up the opportunity to accept more loads and keep you moving.
Driver Resources
Knight Transportation understands the unique demands of refrigerated truck drivers and we offer resources that go beyond standard trucking companies. For instance, Knight focuses on driver success with programs like “Route to a Million Miles,” recognizing and rewarding your long-haul commitment. Additionally, we provide comprehensive training specific to handling refrigerated cargo, ensuring you have the knowledge and confidence to manage your temperature-controlled deliveries. Knight also prioritizes driver well-being on the road with amenities like spacious sleepers and power inverters, keeping you comfortable and focused on the haul. This emphasis on driver satisfaction, specialized training, and on-the-road comfort sets Knight apart for refrigerated truck drivers.
“There is more responsibility when you’re hauling food. It just has a little more meaning when you haul something important. If that appeals to you, I think you should go for it.”
