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.

What trucking comp did swift trans recently acquire?
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.
