Central Refrigerated was the company formerly known as Dick Simon Transportation. The founder of Swift Transportation - Jerry Moyes - became the primary shareholder of that company. Dick Simon is known to some as the company whose driver drove his truck up the steps of the California state capitol in 2001, killing himself in the process. Under Moyes' leadership as the primary shareholder, Dick Simon Transportation became Central Refrigerated, and operated independently of Swift Transportation, although they did acquire their trucks through Swift Leasing. Swift bought all shares of Central Transportation in August of 2013, and Central Refrigerated is now an integral part of Swift Transportation.
