    Just cashing out. Swift is a Public company, Central a private company owned by the head of Swift... So now he sells his own company to his other company, pockets the cash and increases the value of the Swift stock which I am sure he owns a good chunk of, and just made a good score on that end too I'd bet.

    I thought Central always had a relationship with Swift

    something about Swift bailed out Dick Simon which did evolve into Central
