KNX Q2 2026: Truckload cycle inflection confirmed as spot rates, rejection rates, and contract pricing all accelerate simultaneously for first time since 2021.
Knight-Swift's Q2 2026 results confirm the truckload freight cycle has turned: spot rates strengthened, tender rejection rates reached 2021 levels, and the Adjusted Operating Ratio improved 360 basis points year-over-year to 91.0% in Truckload. The recovery is supply-driven — FMCSA regulatory enforcement is removing lower-cost operators — but demand signals are also emerging, giving KNX a dual tailwind entering Q3. Intermodal posted a 19.6% load count increase and its first profitable quarter in the measured period, while LTL profitability remains burdened by an $18 million adverse arbitration ruling and rising insurance costs.
