Trucking companies are instrumental in keeping the United States running smoothly. Every day, they are responsible for [safely](https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/regulations) shipping millions of pounds of goods, waste, and other cargo throughout the entire country. These companies also generate billions of dollars in revenue and help other businesses and organizations do the same. 

Although there are numerous trucking companies throughout the U.S., the 10 largest of them are responsible for hauling a substantial percentage of the loads that transit the country. 

## 1. Knight-Swift Transportation

## Largest U.S. Trucking Companies: Honorable Mention

One company gets an honorable mention in this blog: Amazon.
