Scott Knight, White Knight Transport Services, LLC, Monmouth, Ore.
Many years ago, armed with a degree in mechanical engineering, Scott Knight hit the job market at a time where firms were downsizing, not hiring, so he created his own job. Knight and his father opened up an auto repair shop in southern Calif., near George Air Force Base. When the base closed, and everyone tried to move out at once, he switched lanes to become a homegoods mover and not long after that opened up his own moving company. Since then, Knight has overcome cancer and become an eight-time driver of the month for The Wheaton Group.
