PART II -- RULES 12b-25(b) AND (c)
If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule
12b-25(b), the following should be completed. (Check box if appropriate)
|X| | (a) The reasons described in reasonable detail in Part III of this form could not be eliminated without unreasonable
| effort or expense;
|
|X| | (b) The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on Form 10-K, Form 20-F, Form 11-K or Form N-SAR,
| or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date; or the
| calendar day following the prescribed due date; and

| calendar day following the prescribed due date; and
|
|X| | (c) The accountant's statement or other exhibit required by Rule 12b-25(c) has been attached if applicable.
PART III -- NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 10-KSB, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-QSB, N-SAR, or the transition portions
thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time.
The audit of the Company's 401(k) Plan could not be timely completed, without unreasonable effort or expense, due to the
unavailability of Company personnel, who were engaged in both an unscheduled regulatory audit and an audit and public offering of
the Company's securities; the concurrence of these events was unexpected and unusual. Company administrative personnel who would
normally have assisted in the audit of the Plan were unable to do so, due to their commitment to the events described above. As a
result of these proceedings, personnel were unable to provide the auditors of the Company's 401(k) Plan with all information
necessary to complete the audit and render their opinion in a timely manner. The audit of the 401(k) Plan will be completed and Form
11-K filed within 15 days of its due date (June 28, 1996). At this time the Plan has acquired no Common Stock of the Company and
will not do so until such time as Form 11-K is filed with the Commission.

are estimated to be as follows:

contribution was $54,000. Net gains on investments for the year ended December 31, 1995, were $116,000 and distributions to
participants were $68,000. Assets of the Plan as of December 31, 1994, were $473,000 and, as a result of the changes described
above, increased to $774,000 as of December 31, 1995. The 401(k) Plan held no stock of the Company during the year ended

Accountant's Statement Required
By Rule 12b-25(c)
Tull, Forsberg & Olson initiated its annual audit of the Knight Transportation, Inc. 401(k) Plan, but has been unable to
complete the audit or render its opinion, due to the unavailability of Company personnel who were engaged in an unscheduled
regulatory audit and an audit and public offering of the Company's securities. Without the availability of such Company personnel,
we did not have sufficient information to render our report and opinion and could not have done so, without the Company expending
unreasonable effort and incurring unreasonable expense.
