Yes, it is. The company went from being publicy traded to being privately held, then went back to being publicly traded in 2010.
Yes. Swift Transportation is a publicly traded company.
Swift Transportation was founded by a man named Jerry Moyes. He remains the CEO of Swift Transportation (Swift is a publicly traded company).
While there really isn't much of a publicly available database on this, the most major buyout Swift Transportation made was of M.S. Carriers in 2000 or 2001, IIRC. Another company they've bought out was Merit. They bought out Fulton Transportation in the early 90s, as well. Central Freight and Central Refrigerated aren't owned by Swift - they're privately owned companies which are owned in their entirety by Jerry Moyes, the CEO of Swift Transportation (whereas Swift Transportation is a publicly traded company). DSW trucks are often seen pulling Swift refrigerated trailers - DSW (Digby Southwest) is not owned by Swift - it is a fleet which leases onto Swift Transportation.

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.

No. Swift Transportation (not Trucking) derived its name from the Swift Meat Packing Company (another trucking company which did the same was JBS Carriers). The founder of Swift Transportation is a man named Jerry Moyes, who, to the best of my knowledge, has no relation to Taylor Swift.
The name Swift as used in Swift Transportation is not derived from a person's last name - the CEO and founder of Swift Transportation is Jerry Moyes, who is of no relation to Taylor Swift that I'm aware of.
Central Refrigerated was the company formerly known as Dick Simon Transportation. The founder of Swift Transportation - Jerry Moyes - became the primary shareholder of that company. Dick Simon is known to some as the company whose driver drove his truck up the steps of the California state capitol in 2001, killing himself in the process. Under Moyes' leadership as the primary shareholder, Dick Simon Transportation became Central Refrigerated, and operated independently of Swift Transportation, although they did acquire their trucks through Swift Leasing. Swift bought all shares of Central Transportation in August of 2013, and Central Refrigerated is now an integral part of Swift Transportation.
