Kevin Knight is the strongest CEO in the transportation business. This company is an absolute machine when it comes to profit margins and controlling costs.

Low supply of freight coupled with high fuel prices do not lead to a sound bottom line. I'm shorting this until the dollar strengthens and fuel prices head back towards $2.50-$3/gal instead of $4-4.50.

Fuel prices expected to decline into 2009 - this company is expected to have improved profits. Estimates of nearly 100K trucks were forced off the road by high operating costs meaning decreased copetition.

A recessions a coming this summer and high oil prices are not going away since the falling dollar is to blame, and continued inflation is not going to bring the value of the dollar up any time soon. Burnanke was not helping this country by bailing out the crust of American society. Also, Bush's stimulus package didn't help the upward inflationary pressure that is killing this countries middle class. Sorry about my rant but anyway my point is to sell trucking since rail is about to take over from the high price of fuel.

Peter Lynch would love this one. Knight is a family run business with high insider ownership (40%), plenty of cash, and no debt. High fuel costs have cut into profit and is temporarily curbing growth. Knight is a strong player in trucking and will weather this one out while others become road kill.
