A New ICOA - More Opportunity for Owner Operators

  • 1 min read

We’re excited to announce the launch of Knight’s new 2026 Independent Contractor Operating Agreement (ICOA) - designed to give Owner Operators more opportunity to increase their earnings while continuing to provide valuable fuel savings and rate protections.


What’s New?

The new ICOA introduces three key opportunities:


📈 Market Dynamic Pay

Your base rate has the opportunity to increase when Knight’s Owner Operator Revenue Per Loaded Mile increases. And importantly, your rate will never go below today’s current ICOA rates.


💵 Fuel Incentive Program

Owner Operators who meet the monthly fuel participation requirements can earn a 5¢ per loaded mile rebate.


⛽ Bigger Fuel Discounts

Using the Knight Fuel Card at participating fuel networks can provide 30¢ off per gallon.


Current Owner Operators: Watch for Your Letter

  • If you are a current Owner Operator, you will receive a letter in the mail regarding your current ICOA, including important information about the changes and your options.


Be sure to review the information carefully and watch for additional communication from Knight.


Have Questions? Join Us Live!


We’ll be hosting a special Owner Operator Live Stream to walk through the new ICOA, explain the changes and answer your questions.


📅 Monday, August 17

⏰ 10:00 a.m.

Thanks

Honestly, it’s not worth it. Everything you do. You’re being threatened with the contract. Can’t do nothing to your truck to make it look better because of a contract! rates do not increase and have not increased in many years, We get very minimal help with fuel surcharge honestly to be very real. I make the same amount of money I make as a company driver, if not less sometimes. This is only a way for Knight transportation to continue to micromanage and be in control of a driver. If y’all wanted to help us you could, but you don’t want to, instead you’re trying to implement more rules for us to follow your guidelines to remain c…
