While there really isn't much of a publicly available database on this, the most major buyout Swift Transportation made was of M.S. Carriers in 2000 or 2001, IIRC. Another company they've bought out was Merit. They bought out Fulton Transportation in the early 90s, as well.
Central Freight and Central Refrigerated aren't owned by Swift - they're privately owned companies which are owned in their entirety by Jerry Moyes, the CEO of Swift Transportation (whereas Swift Transportation is a publicly traded company).
DSW trucks are often seen pulling Swift refrigerated trailers - DSW (Digby Southwest) is not owned by Swift - it is a fleet which leases onto Swift Transportation.

What is the most successful trucking company?
Currently, the most successful trucking company is JB Hunt. Competition amongs the top tier trucking companies is still very close, and it would be fair to say Old Dominion, Roadrunner Trans, Amerco and Landstar can also have a strong case made for being the most successful.
How you can find job in truck trailer and you have no exp?
Go to an entry-level carrier, such as Swift Transportation, Schneider National, Werner Enterprises, C.R. England (actually, no, don't go to C.R. England), CRST Van Expedited, TMC, Trans-Am Trucking, etc. Many of these companies even have their own truck driving schools.
Which trucking companies have been bought out by Swift Transportation?
Swift is Swift.. when Swift buys out another company, that company gets integrated into Swift Transportation. Some of the carriers Swift bought out includes:Cooper Motor Lines (acquired by Swift in 1988)Arthur H. Fulton (acquired by Swift in 1991)West's Best Freight System (acquired by Swift in 1993)Missouri-Nebraska Express (acquired by Swift in 1994)East-West Transportation (acquired by Swift in 1994)the dry van division of Navajo Shippers (acquired by Swift in 1996)Direct Transit Inc. (acquired by Swift in 1996/1997)Trans-Mex, Inc. (49% acquired by Swift in 2000, the remainder acquired in 2004)the dry van division of Cardinal Freight Carriers, Inc. (acquired by Swift in 2000)M.S. Carriers (merged with Swift in 2000)Central Refrigerated (bought out by Swift in 2013 from Swift founder and former CEO Jerry Moyes)Central Freight is a separate company from Swift, and is privately owned by Jerry Moyes, the founder and former CEO of Swift Transportation. He acquired it in 1997. Central Refrigerated was the company formerly known as Dick Simon trucking, and that was acquired primarily by Moyes circa 2001 (this is the company best known for its driver who drove his truck up the steps of the California state capitol). It was bought out and integrated into Swift in 2013.Blue Thunder was related to either Moyes or Swift, although I'm not entirely certain. The company was formed in 2005 for the sole purpose of buying out Swift's autohaul division. They filed for bankruptcy in 2007.Update:In August of 2013, Swift formally bought out Central Refrigerated.
What trucking companies are owned by swift?
They don't really own any others... when Swift buys out a trucking company, that company gets folded into and becomes a part of Swift. Central wasn't owned by Swift prior to the buyout - Jerry Moyes was the majority shareholder of Central Refrigerated (formerly Dick Simon Trucking), and ran that company separately from Swift. Some of Swift's acquisitions include:Cooper Motor Lines (1988)Arthur H. Fulton (1991)West's Best Freight Systems (1993)Missouri-Nebraska Express (1994)East-West Transportation (1994)Direct Transit, Inc. (1996 or 1997)Trans-Mex Inc. (49% acquired in 2000, the remainder acquired in 2004)M.S. Carriers (2000)Central Refrigerated (2013)There are also a number of carriers where there are inaccurate rumors claiming them to be owned by Swift when they are not. Navajo Express is a privately held carrier which is not owned by Swift. There are three sources of confusion here - the first is that Swift did buy out the dry van division of Navajo Shippers - but not the entire company - in 1996. The second is DSW - Digby Southwest - which is owned by a guy who married into the Digby family, divorced, and separated his share of trucks into another company, which now runs as an agent of Swift Transportion. The third is that Swift used to lease space in Navajo's yard in Denver, so you used to see a substantial number of Swift trailers there.Star Transportation of Morton, IL was about to fold, so they relinquished their operating authority and became an agent carrier for Swift Transportation, running under Swift's DOT and ICC/MC authority. More the same with Apollo Logistics.
