 PROFILE
Swift, but within the speed limit, Swift Transportation is a regional truckload carrier operating throughout the US. The company avoids competition with long-haul carriers and railroads by focusing on short- to medium-haul services; average hauls are about 509 miles. Swift operates more than 28,300 trailers and vans and about 7,700 tractors from a network of 35 terminals. Goods carried include paper products, nonperishable foods, and retail and discount store merchandise. The firm provides real-time shipment tracking through two-way satellite communications systems. Swift has expanded by acquiring M.S. Carriers. CEO Jerry Moyes and his brother Ronald own about 33% of Swift, which they founded.
