    Considering Swift has almost twice as many trucks as Werner I'd imagine the buyout would go the other way if it was true. Never the less I wouldn't put much stake in what's said at truck stop.

    Werner doesent grow thru aquireing other company's and never has .
    They grow thru cheap drivers , low operating costs and the ability to haul cheap.

    Swift are currently listed on the NY stock exchange (SWFT) any member of the public can buy into it. And if you buy a few million shares you can have an active controlling interest.Which is what Werner would be looking to do.
