No, Swift Transportation has not been bought out, and JBS doesn't have the clout to buy out Swift. The confusion comes from a story about the origins of the Swift name. Although Swift's official story on their website doesn't acknowledge this, Swift Transportation was founded before industry deregulation (which occurred in 1980). Rather than going through the hassle of obtaining operating authority on his own, he simply bought out the operating authority of an existing company, which was the trucking division of the Swift Meat Packing Company (now an integral part of JB Swift and Co., otherwise known as JBS). I cannot speak for the accuracy of this story, but it is one of the stories out here in the rumor mill, and may be the cause of your confusion as to the ownership of Swift Transportation. JBS Carriers is a truckload carrier formed under the umbrella of JB Swift and Company. It is domiciled in Greeley, Colorado (which you may know as the butt of several jokes in the TV series South Park), and has nothing to do with Swift Transportation.
No. Swift Transportation (not Trucking) derived its name from the Swift Meat Packing Company (another trucking company which did the same was JBS Carriers). The founder of Swift Transportation is a man named Jerry Moyes, who, to the best of my knowledge, has no relation to Taylor Swift.
No, and there'd no incentive for them to. Swift Transportation's (not "trucking") founder is a man named Jerry Moyes, and the name "Swift" was purchased from the meat packer JB Swift and Company (it's also where JBS Carriers gets their name from). There is no relaton to Taylor Swift.
The name Swift as used in Swift Transportation is not derived from a person's last name - the CEO and founder of Swift Transportation is Jerry Moyes, who is of no relation to Taylor Swift that I'm aware of.

Everyone has their own opinion. She does not have to have a reason to hate JBs, if that's even truth.
