App Login screen:
You must agree to the Terms & Conditions to
continue into the app.
The use of this mobile app is optional and was
developed to provide a convenient method of
viewing payroll information, transmitting shipping
documents, etc. It is my choice to elect to use
it. Other options are also available for viewing
payroll information, transmitting documents, etc.
Other resources include company provided
communication devices in my truck, electronic
equipment available at any of Knight’s many
Service Center locations, and scanning equipment
available at truck stops.
This app is designed and intended for use when
you are not driving a vehicle. Do not use or
otherwise interact with this app or your mobile
device while driving. The term “driving” includes
not only operating a vehicle on a highway, but
also includes times when the vehicle is
temporarily stationary because of traffic, a traffic
control device, or other momentary delays.
Any use of this app while driving diverts your
attention from the road and could result in an
accident. Knight expressly disclaims any liability or
responsibility for any injury, damage or harm
caused by your failure to drive in an appropriate
or safe manner.
By clicking the “I AGREE” button or by installing
the app you agree to the terms above.
Login Information:
For the Mobile app, you will use your Driver Portal login.
The mobile app uses the same login and password as the Driver Portal, which is located at
my.driveknight.com. If you are unsure of your login, it is as follows:
Dry Van = [Driver Code] (Ex: ADAJO)
Refer Fleet and Kool Trans Fleet = KR-[Driver Code] (Ex: KR-ADAJO)
Port Services = KP-[Driver Code] (Ex: KP-ADAJO)
Owner Operator = Truck number
If you don’t know your password or would like to reset your password, go to this link:
https://apps.knighttrans.com/PassChange. Remember, if you change your password it will also change
your Driver Portal password.
Note: If you have changed over from company driver to owner/operator (or any other movement), and cannot login to the
app, please have your driver manager check that you are in the right cost center. The driver portal and app are contingent
upon the driver master system updates, and refresh during overnight hours. Once you are in the right cost center, the app and
driver portal login will work after one overnight cycle.

Document Scanning:
New in Version 1.3 is the option to use images from your photo gallery for document scans – take
photos of your documents to upload to the app later (when you have more time, a better signal, etc.)
You can also scan documents directly from the load/order screen, or by choosing “Scan Document” from
the main app menu.
Scan the document by taking a picture
(preferably flat and against a plain background):
Adjust the grid corners (if needed) to remove the
background, then click “Next”:
Once the document is processed (depends on
mobile service, notification of progress will
appear on phone banner), it will appear under
“Documents” in the main app menu, and the
dollar sign will turn light blue (once the server
receives the scan -- a short delay is possible).
Clicking on the reduced scan picture will retrieve
a full-screen view. Here you can view the
document sharpening progress (click on “Show
Original”), and you can zoom to see detail:
General Scanning (Per load or general scanning):
General scanning and once a load # is chosen from this screen will bring up the camera – follow the same scanning steps above.
You can also view your scans via the order screen - at the bottom of the order/load detail - under “View
Sent Documents”.
Note: Keep in mind, in this mobile app, you will only see the images scanned within the app, not any Transflo scans.
However, all images, regardless of scan point will be viewable in AS400/RVI.
Image Quality Checks/Rescan Requests:
Image quality checks are now active.
Immediately upon processing an image, the app will verify if the document is readable.
If you agree to send anyway, the payroll staff may still reject it when indexing. You will see a rescan
request in the Load screen and Order Detail screen or the Documents screen. All rescan requests are
marked with a (!)
To rescan or decline to rescan:
(Look for payroll Notes and complete Reason list)
Delete Image Option: The delete image option after send has been disabled as of Version 1.2 of the
app. If an image is unreadable or incorrect, the payroll staff will either delete (if it’s blank or a photo of
something besides a document), or they will reject the image and ask for a re-scan. If payroll marks the
document for re-scan (!), you can then decline to re-scan the image and give the reason behind the
decline.
New in Version 1.3: To reduce the number of erroneous scans, you can now use scans/photos from your
device’s photo gallery to upload.
Messages:
New in Version 1.3: You can now reply to messages and create free-form messages to send to Dispatch.
An occasional disclaimer will pop-up to acknowledge that you are not driving the vehicle while reading
or sending messages. Please agree to continue.
The user’s reports of bad address/map detail will also be stored on this screen.
Please Read – App permissions detail:
The following permissions are required when downloading the app. Please see the attached explanation
for each permission:
•
Identity – Uses one or more of accounts on the device, profile data
The app stores the user's name, email address, and encrypted password (no one besides the
user can view the user's actual password) that is provided at sign-up/installation. The app tracks
very generic info about the user’s phone (Android or iOS, phone model, operating system).
•
Photos/Media Files – Uses one or more of files on the device such as images, videos, or audio, the
device’s external storage
The app stores information about a transmitted document (the image itself, and data such as
what time it was transferred, where it was sent, whether the upload was successful).
The app does not access the microphone for any reason. The only access to speakers is for
general noise alerts/system sounds, which can be turned off at any time by the user.
The external data permission is only necessary to store temporary files out of necessity (during
image upload).
The app requires photo gallery access to find files for upload. The user has the option to elect
which photo is used from the gallery, so be careful when selecting!
•
Camera/Microphone – This is a combo permission as outlined by the App Stores, however, KT
Mobile only requires access to the camera for document scanning.
The KT Mobile app itself will access the device camera for the purpose of taking photos of
documents, storing those photos on the user’s “Documents” screen, and sending photos/scans
to payroll via the app. Note: We do not store any of these photos unless they are actually
successfully transmitted through the app, and we don't have access to any other device photos
unless the user indicates which photo from the gallery is to be used for upload. The app does not
have access to the user’s gallery without the user’s consent otherwise.
Please note: The app does not track a user’s location at any point, or record any video or audio from
users’ devices. Previous versions may have requested the user's location in error, but that has been
removed from this version of the app.
Although there is no GPS required to use the app, there are occasional pop-ups to acknowledge the use
of the app while driving is prohibited, and those pop-ups must be agreed upon to continue in the app.
Coming Soon!
