There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Knight-Swift Transportation Holdings shares can be evaluated.
Knight-Swift Transportation Holdings's "short interest ratio" (SIR)
Knight-Swift Transportation Holdings's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Knight-Swift Transportation Holdings shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Knight-Swift Transportation Holdings shares traded daily (recently around 1.8 million). Knight-Swift Transportation Holdings's SIR currently stands at 3.19. In other words for every 100,000 Knight-Swift Transportation Holdings shares traded daily on the market, roughly 3190 shares are currently held short.
However Knight-Swift Transportation Holdings's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Knight-Swift Transportation Holdings shares, or, against the total number of tradable Knight-Swift Transportation Holdings shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Knight-Swift Transportation Holdings's short interest could be expressed as 0.03% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Knight-Swift Transportation Holdings shares in existence, roughly 30 shares are currently held short) or 0.0581% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Knight-Swift Transportation Holdings shares, roughly 58 shares are currently held short).
Such a low SIR usually points to an optimistic outlook for the share price, with fewer people currently willing to bet against Knight-Swift Transportation Holdings.
