Knight opens Atlanta service center

Knight Transportation recently opened a service center just off the interstate at 4275 Shirley Drive in Atlanta. The facility offers drivers not only the chance to fuel up and get their truck serviced, but also the option to take a quick shower, catch up on laundry and relax in the lounge. Having a safe place to relax is one of the most important advantages to Knight driver Jeff Burden. "It's just nice to not have to worry about sleep and showering," he says.
