Rumors are that Knight Refrigeration bought up Swift and then absorbed its valuable assets leaving Swift with a questionable future.
Can anyone confirm or deny this?
They were on my radar for allowing pets for company drivers.
Is Swift dead?

Slow down
Swift is having Knight management team run the two companies. They are not dumping drivers.
You think a company will cut it's own throat by cutting it monitory source.
Do some homework
Swift has 15k trucks
Knight has 5k trucks
Knight-Swift Transportation is expected to operate with 23,000 tractors, 77,000 trailers, and over 70 service locations in 30 states, along with three locations throughout Mexico.Last edited: Jul 10, 2018

I think the only people that might lose their jobs are the folks that work in terminals that have both Swift and Knight yards in the same town. Unlike Flying J/Pilot, it would be a waste to have 2 terminals in the same town, and there are bound to be jobs at both that overlap, so, just combining personell wouldn't work if there are 2 people doing the same job when they only need 1 for that job.
