I worked for Central in 2005-2006 and we were allowed to use Swift Terminals. We shared the Dallas Terminal with them. Moyces son in law ran Central at that time. His daughter ran Central Freight. I have no idea who runs what anymore.

LOL.
No really, LOL.
well Jim Duncan whats the real story ?
Heres the news release the day the SWIFT / CENTRAL deal was announced
Swift Transportation announced today that it acquired privately held Central Refrigerated Transportation, in a transaction valued at $225 million, including approximately $189 million in cash and $36 million of assumed capital lease obligations and other financial debt.
Jerry Moyes, the Chief Executive Officer and controlling stockholder of Swift, was the principal owner of Central -
Yep sounds right. And his daughter and husband ran the two companies for him. So he sold a privately held company to the corporation that he is the controlling stockholder of. Smart move.
-
Never said it was not a smart move , posted the same basic info earlier + how he got hold of it when D SIMON ( Jerry was a major stockhoder in DS as well ) went under and got questioned on it
Bumper Thanks this. -
It all started back when Maude Knight married Chester England.
Now it seems like it's become one big family affair.

Worked there 2 years typo on my part yea I was just trying to build a "flawless" driving record. Meanwhile I was researching which company 2 make my jump 2 but wasn't hearing much better stories from other trucking companies either so I weathered the storm till my next job. The reason 2 sticking 2 1 company was I didn't want 2 have worked for 10 dif companies within 2 years. Then nobody woulda hired me

That makes sense.
Have you found a descent company or are you still lookin'? -
