Does UPS own shares of Swift trucking stock?
Until a few weeks ago Swift LLC was privately owned by Jerry Moise it is now a public company but I do not think that UPS has any influence on Swift
A bit of correction here:
Swift has, for a very long time, been a publicly traded company - it wasn't "just up to a few weeks ago". Jerry Moyes did, sometimes in the mid-to-late 2000s, attempt to buy back all the shares of Swift Transportation (thus making it a private company, once again), but the shareholders refused.
Why do companies issue new shares in stocks?
When an entrepreneur starts a company, he often looks to family and friends for start-up capital. As the company grows, it will need more money, or in other words capital. Those who survive those tough early years, when most businesses fail, will look for a bank loan.
Loans carry high cash costs, in the form of interest payments. Eventually, if the company grows enough, its owners may choose to issue stock shares in the public markets. Understanding the stock market is very important to know for these entrepreneurs.
When you hear that a company is "going public", it means that the company is issuing shares of ownership for sale in the public marketplace. This process takes place during the initial public offering, or IPO.
The IPO is a first-time offering of stock for sale to the general public. The IPO process involves a number of people in addition to the company owners, and can be a rather complex undertaking. The company itself must be clear in understanding the stock market.

What is the difference between dividends paid on common stock and preferred stock?
Dividends for preferred stockholders are often stated in advance and do not tend to fluctuate as much as those for common stock.
Does a common or a preferred stockholder have more say in how the company is operated?
Common stockholders participate more in the governance of a corporation than do preferred stockholders. This is accomplished by giving common stockholders the right to vote for members of the board of directors as well as on major decisions
Does a stock split affect what your total shares are worth at the time of the split?
