Item 2.02
 
Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
 
 
On Wednesday, January 18, 2006, Knight Transportation, Inc., an Arizona corporation (the "Company"), issued a press release (the "Press Release") announcing its financial results for the quarter and twelve months ended December 31, 2005. A copy of the Press Release is attached to this report as Exhibit 99.1.
 
The information contained in this report under Items 2.02 and 7.01and the exhibit hereto shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
 
The information in this report and the exhibit hereto may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Such statements are made based on the current beliefs and expectations of the Company’s management and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. Actual results or events may differ from those anticipated by forward-looking statements. Please refer to various disclosures by the Company in its press releases, stockholder reports, and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission for information concerning risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may affect future results.
 
Item 7.01
 
Regulation FD Disclosure.
 
 
Due to a typographical error, the press release issued by the Company on Wednesday, January 18, 2006 announcing its financial results for the quarter and twelve months ended December 31, 2005 incorrectly identified the record date of the Company's previously announced cash dividend. The cash dividend of $.02 per share to be paid on February 14, 2006 will be to shareholders of record on January 31, 2006, not to shareholders of record on January 30, 2006, as indicated in the press release. The Press Release attached to this report as Exhibit 99.1 has been updated to correct that record date.
