Swift
Transportation Company and Subsidiaries
Notes to consolidated financial statements (unaudited)
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
Swift Transportation Company (formerly Swift Corporation) is the holding company for Swift
Transportation Co., LLC (a Delaware limited liability company, formerly Swift Transportation Co.,
Inc., a Nevada corporation) and its subsidiaries (collectively, Swift Transportation Co.), a
truckload carrier headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, and Interstate Equipment Leasing, LLC (IEL)
(all the foregoing being, collectively, Swift or the Company). The Company operates
predominantly in one industry, road transportation, throughout the continental United States and
Mexico and has only one reportable segment. At June 30, 2011, the Company operated a national
terminal network and a tractor fleet of approximately 16,900 units comprised of 12,800 company
tractors and 4,100 owner-operator tractors, a fleet of 49,300 trailers, and 5,700 intermodal
containers.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements prepared in accordance
with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) include all adjustments
necessary for the fair presentation of the interim periods presented. These interim financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys annual financial statements for the
year ended December 31, 2010. Management has evaluated the effect on the Companys reported
financial condition and results of operations of events subsequent to June 30, 2011 through the
issuance of the financial statements.
Note 2. New Accounting Standards
In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards
Update (ASU) No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) Amendments to
Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. This ASU
was issued concurrently with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) 13, Fair Value
Measurements (IFRS 13), and amends Accounting Standards Codification Topic (Topic) 820 to require
entities to provide largely identical guidance about fair value measurement and disclosure
requirements. The new standards do not extend the use of fair value but, rather, provide guidance
about how fair value should be applied where it already is required or permitted under IFRS or
GAAP. For GAAP, most of the changes are clarifications of existing guidance or wording changes to
align with IFRS 13. ASU No. 2011-04 is effective for the Companys interim and annual periods
prospectively beginning January 1, 2012. Early adoption is not permitted for the Company. In the
period of adoption, the Company will be required to disclose a change, if any, in valuation
technique and related inputs that result from applying the ASU and to quantify the total effect, if
practicable. The Company does not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact
on the amounts and disclosures in its consolidated financial statements.
Note 3. Issuance of Class A Common Stock
On January 20, 2011, the Company issued an additional 6,050,000 shares of its Class A common
stock to the underwriters of its initial public offering at the initial public offering price of
$11.00 per share, less the underwriters discount, and received proceeds of $63.2 million before
expenses of such issuance, pursuant to the over-allotment option in the underwriting agreement. Of
these proceeds, the Company used $60.0 million in January 2011 to pay down its first lien term loan
and $3.2 million in February 2011 to pay down its accounts receivable securitization facility.
Note 4. Income Taxes
The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 was 41%, which was 2%
higher than the expected effective tax rate primarily due to the amortization of previous losses
from accumulated other comprehensive income (OCI) to income (for book purposes) related to the
Companys previous interest rate swaps that were terminated in December 2010 and a change in
unrecognized tax benefits during the quarter resulting from a state tax audit. The effective tax
rate for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was -27%, representing income tax expense on a net
loss; this result was also primarily due to the amortization of previous losses from accumulated
OCI related to the previous interest rate swaps and a change in unrecognized tax benefits during
the quarter resulting from an IRS examination. The effective tax rate for the six months ended
June 30, 2010 was 6%, which was 19% less than the 2010 expected effective tax rate of 25% as a
result of the same factors causing the difference in the three months ended June 30, 2010. The
amortization had a larger impact on the effective tax rate in the 2010 periods because the
amortization was larger in 2010, and because the magnitude of the estimated expected full year
pre-tax income (loss) was smaller for 2010.
As of June 30, 2011, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits totaling approximately $5.3
million, all of which would favorably impact its effective tax rate if subsequently recognized. The
Company recognizes potential accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as
a component of income tax expense. Accrued interest and penalties as of June 30, 2011 were
approximately $1.9 million. To the extent interest and penalties are not assessed with respect to
uncertain tax positions, amounts accrued will be reduced and reflected as a reduction of the
overall income tax provision. The Company
anticipates that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by approximately
$3.8 million during the next twelve months, which should not have a material impact on the
Companys financial statements.

Certain of the Companys subsidiaries are currently under examination by Federal and various
state jurisdictions for years ranging from 1997 to 2009. At the completion of these examinations,
management does not expect any adjustments that would have a material impact on the Companys

For all periods ending on or after December 31, 2007, amortization of intangibles consists
primarily of amortization of $261.2 million gross carrying value of definite-lived intangible
assets recognized under purchase accounting in connection with Swift Transportation Co.s going
private in the 2007 transactions in which Swift Corporation acquired Swift Transportation Co.
Intangible assets acquired as a result of the Swift Transportation Co. acquisition include trade
name, customer relationships, and owner-operator relationships. Amortization of the customer
relationship acquired in the going private transaction is calculated on the 150% declining balance
method over the estimated useful life of 15 years. The customer relationship contributed to the
Company at May 9, 2007 is amortized using the straight-line method over 15 years. The
owner-operator relationship was amortized using the straight-line method over three years and was
fully amortized at December 31, 2010. The trade name has an indefinite useful life and is not
amortized, but rather is tested for impairment at least annually, unless events occur or
circumstances change between annual tests that would more likely than not reduce the fair value.
Amortization of intangibles for three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 is comprised of $4.3
million and $4.9 million respectively, related to intangible assets recognized in conjunction with
the 2007 going private transaction and $0.3 million in each period related to previous intangible
assets existing prior to the 2007 going private transaction. Amortization of intangibles for six
months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 is comprised of $8.8 million and $10.1 million respectively,
related to intangible assets recognized in conjunction with the 2007 going private transaction and
$0.6 million in each period related to previous intangible assets existing prior to the 2007 going
private transaction.
Note 6. Assets Held for Sale
Assets held for sale as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were (in thousands):

Assets held for sale |
$ | 11,526 | $ | 8,862 | ||||
As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, assets held for sale are stated at the lower of
depreciated cost or fair value less estimated selling expenses. The Company expects to sell these
assets within the next twelve months. The increase in assets held for sale during the six months
ended June 30, 2011 was the result of management identifying a property at its Mira Loma,
California facility as an asset held for sale with a carrying value of $4.9 million in the first
quarter of 2011. This increase was offset by the sale of a property located in Laredo, Texas
previously identified as an asset held for sale with a carrying value of $1.2 million in the first
quarter of 2011.
In the first quarter of 2010, management undertook an evaluation of the Companys revenue
equipment and concluded that it would be more cost effective to dispose of approximately 2,500
trailers through scrap or sale rather than to maintain them in the operating fleet. These trailers
met the requirements for assets held for sale treatment and were reclassified as such, with a
related $1.3 million pre-tax impairment charge being recorded during the period as discussed in
Note 11.

The majority of currently outstanding debt was issued in December 2010 to refinance debt
initially incurred in connection with the Companys acquisition of Swift Transportation Co. in May
2007, a going private transaction under SEC rules. The debt outstanding at June 30, 2011 primarily
consists of proceeds from a first lien term loan, pursuant to a senior secured credit facility with
a group of lenders, with a face value of $1.01 billion at June 30, 2011, net of unamortized
original issue discount of $9.8 million, and proceeds from the offering of $500 million face value
of senior second priority secured notes, net of unamortized original issue discount of $9.3 million
at June 30, 2011. The credit facility and senior notes are secured by substantially all of the
assets of the Company and are guaranteed by Swift Transportation Company, IEL, Swift Transportation
Co. and its domestic subsidiaries other than its captive insurance subsidiaries, driver training
academy subsidiary, and its bankruptcy-remote special purpose subsidiary. As of June 30, 2011 and
December 31, 2010, the balance of deferred loan costs was $24.7 million and $23.1 million,
respectively, and is reported in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets.
In January 2011, the Company used $60.0 million of proceeds from its issuance of an additional
6,050,000 shares of its Class A common stock, as discussed in Note 3, to pay down the first lien
term loan. As a result of this prepayment, the next scheduled principal payment on the first lien
term loan is due September 30, 2016.
Senior Secured Credit Facility
The credit facility was entered into on December 21, 2010 and consists of a first lien term
loan with an original aggregate principal amount of $1.07 billion due December 2016 and a $400
million revolving line of credit due December 2015. As of June 30, 2011, interest on the first lien
term loan accrues at 6.00% (the LIBOR floor of 1.50% plus the applicable margin of 4.50%). As of
June 30, 2011, there were no borrowings under the $400 million revolving line of credit, while the
Company had outstanding letters of credit under the revolving line of credit primarily for workers
compensation and self-insurance liability purposes totaling $167.9 million, leaving $232.1 million
available under the revolving line of credit. Outstanding letters of credit incur fees of 4.50% per
annum. The Company was in compliance with the covenants in the senior secured credit agreement at
June 30, 2011.
Senior Second Priority Secured Notes
On December 21, 2010, Swift Services Holdings, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary, completed a
private placement of senior second priority secured notes totaling $500 million face value which
mature in November 2018 and bear interest at 10.00% (the senior notes). The Company received
proceeds of $490 million, net of a $10.0 million original issue discount. Interest on the senior
notes is payable on May 15 and November 15 each year. The Company was in compliance with the
covenants in the indenture governing the senior notes at June 30, 2011.

Fixed and Floating-Rate Notes
As of June 30, 2011, there was $11.0 million outstanding of floating rate notes due May 15,
2015, accruing at three-month LIBOR plus 7.75% (8.01% at June 30, 2011), and $15.6 million
outstanding of 12.50% fixed rate notes due May 15, 2017. The Company was in compliance with the
covenants in the indentures governing the fixed and floating rate notes at June 30, 2011. In July
2011, the Company initiated a call of the $11.0 million remaining floating rate notes at par, which
call is scheduled to close on August 15, 2011.
Note 8. Accounts Receivable Securitization
On June 8, 2011, Swift Receivables Company II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company
(SRCII), a wholly-owned bankruptcy-remote special purpose subsidiary, entered into a receivables
sale agreement (the 2011 RSA) with unrelated financial entities (the Purchasers) to replace the
Companys prior accounts receivable sale facility and to sell, on a revolving basis, undivided
interests in the Companys accounts receivable. Pursuant to the 2011 RSA, the Companys receivable
originator subsidiaries will sell all of their eligible accounts receivable to SRCII, which in
turn, sells a variable percentage ownership interest in its accounts receivable to the Purchasers.
The 2011 RSA provides for up to $275 million initially in borrowing capacity, subject to eligible
receivables and reserve requirements, secured by the receivables. The 2011 RSA terminates on June
8, 2014 and is subject to customary fees and contains various customary affirmative and negative
covenants, representations and warranties, and default and termination provisions. Outstanding
balances under the 2011 RSA accrue program fees generally at commercial paper rates plus 125 basis
points and unused capacity is subject to an unused commitment fee of 40 basis points. Pursuant to
the 2011 RSA, collections on the underlying receivables by the Company are held for the benefit of
SRCII and the Purchasers in the facility and are unavailable to satisfy claims of the Company and
its subsidiaries. The facility qualifies for treatment as a secured borrowing under Topic 860,
Transfers and Servicing, and as such, outstanding amounts are carried on the Companys balance
sheet as a liability with program fees recorded in interest expense.
Additionally, on June 8, 2011, in connection with the entry into the 2011 RSA discussed above,
the Company terminated its prior receivables sale agreement, dated as of July 30, 2008 (the 2008
RSA). The maximum amount available under the 2008 RSA was $210 million and outstanding balances
under the 2008 RSA accrued interest at a yield of LIBOR plus 300 basis points or Prime plus 200
basis points, at the Companys discretion.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company incurred program fee expenses of
$1.1 million and $2.4 million, respectively, associated with the 2011 RSA and 2008 RSA, which was
recorded in interest expense. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company
incurred program fee expenses of $1.3 million and $2.4 million, respectively, associated with the
2008 RSA, which was recorded in interest expense. As of June 30, 2011, the outstanding borrowing
under the 2011 RSA was $176.0 million against a total available borrowing base of $256.9 million,
leaving $80.9 million available.
Note 9. Capital Leases
The Company leases certain revenue equipment under capital leases. The Companys capital
leases are typically structured with balloon payments at the end of the lease term equal to the
residual value the Company is contracted to receive from certain equipment manufacturers upon sale
or trade back to the manufacturers. The Company is obligated to pay the balloon payments at the end
of the leased term whether or not it receives the proceeds of the contracted residual values from
the respective manufacturers. Certain leases contain renewal or fixed price purchase options.
Obligations under capital leases total $169.3 million at June 30, 2011, the current portion of
which is $54.9 million. The leases are collateralized by revenue equipment with a cost of $376.1
million and accumulated amortization of $131.3 million at June 30, 2011. The amortization of the
equipment under capital leases is included in depreciation and amortization of property and
equipment.
Note 10. Derivative Financial Instruments
In April 2011, as contemplated by the credit facility, the Company entered into two
forward-starting interest rate swap agreements with a total notional amount of $350 million. These
interest rate swaps take effect in January 2013 and have a maturity date of July 2015. At April 27,
2011 (designation date), the Company designated and qualified these interest rate swaps as cash
flow hedges. These interest rate swap agreements are highly effective as a hedge of the Companys
variable rate debt. Subsequent to the April 27, 2011 designation date, the effective portion of the
changes in fair value of the designated swaps is recorded in accumulated OCI and is thereafter
recognized to derivative interest expense as the interest on the variable debt affects earnings,
which hedged interest accruals do not begin until January 2013. Any ineffective portions of the
changes in the fair value of designated interest rate swaps will be recognized directly to earnings
as derivative interest expense in the Companys statements of operations. At June 30, 2011, changes
in fair value of the designated interest rate swap agreements totaling $2.1 million, net of tax,
were reflected in

accumulated
OCI. As of June 30, 2011, the Company estimates that none of the unrealized losses included in OCI related to these swaps will be realized and reported in
earnings within the next twelve months. The fair value of the interest rate swap liability at June
30, 2011 was $3.4 million. The fair values of the interest rate swaps are based on valuations
provided by third parties, derivative pricing models, and credit spreads derived from the trading
levels of the Companys first lien term loan. Refer to Note 11 for further discussion of the
Companys fair value methodology.
In December 2010, in conjunction with its IPO and debt refinancing transactions, the Company
terminated its last two remaining interest rate swap agreements related to its refinanced debt and
paid $66.4 million to the counterparties to settle the outstanding liabilities. In accordance with
Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, the balance of unrealized losses recorded in accumulated OCI on
the date of termination is required to remain in accumulated OCI and be amortized to expense
through the term of the hedged interest payments, which extends to the original maturity of the
swaps in August 2012. At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, unrealized losses totaling $11.5
million and $20.2 million after taxes, respectively, were reflected in accumulated OCI. As of June
30, 2011, the Company estimates that $11.0 million of unrealized losses included in accumulated OCI
related to the terminated swaps will be realized and reported in earnings within the next twelve
months.
As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, information about classification of fair value of

Note 11. Fair Value Measurement
Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, requires that the Company disclose
estimated fair values for its financial instruments. The fair value of a financial instrument is
the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date in the principal or most
advantageous market for the asset or liability. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point
in time and are based on relevant market information and information about the financial
instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering
for sale at one time the Companys entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Changes in
assumptions could significantly affect these estimates. Because the fair value is estimated as of
June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the amounts that will actually be realized or paid at
settlement or maturity of the instruments in the future could be significantly different.

The carrying amounts shown in the table (other than the securitization of accounts receivable
and interest rate swaps) are included in the consolidated balance sheet in Long-term debt and
obligations under capital leases. The fair values of the financial instruments shown in the above
table as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 represent managements best estimates of the
amounts that would be received to sell those assets or that would be paid to transfer those
liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at that date. Those fair value
measurements maximize the use of observable inputs. However, in situations where there is little,
if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date, the fair value
measurement reflects the Companys own judgments about the assumptions that market participants
would use in pricing the asset or liability. Those judgments are developed by the Company based on
the best information available in the circumstances.
The following summary presents a description of the methods and assumptions used to estimate
the fair value of each class of financial instrument.
First lien term loans, senior second priority secured notes, and fixed and floating rate notes
The fair values of the first lien term loan, senior second priority secured notes, fixed rate
notes, and floating rate notes were determined by bid prices in trading between qualified
institutional buyers.
Securitization of Accounts Receivable
The Companys securitization of accounts receivable consists of borrowings outstanding
pursuant to the Companys 2011 RPA, as discussed in Note 8. Its fair value is estimated by
discounting future cash flows using a discount rate commensurate with the uncertainty involved.
Interest rate swaps
The Companys interest rate swap agreements were carried on the balance sheet at fair value at
June 30, 2011 and consisted of two interest rate swaps. These swaps were entered into for the
purpose of hedging the variability of interest expense and interest payments on the Companys
long-term variable rate debt. Because the Companys interest rate swaps are not actively traded,
they are valued using valuation models. Interest rate yield curves and credit spreads derived from
trading levels of the Companys first lien term loan are the significant inputs into these
valuation models. These inputs are observable in active markets over the terms of the instruments
the Company holds. The Company considers the effect of its own credit standing and that of its
counterparties in the valuations of its derivative financial instruments. As of June 30, 2011, the
Company had recorded a credit valuation adjustment of $0.5 million, based on the credit spread
derived from trading levels of the Companys first lien term loan, to reduce the interest rate swap
liability to its fair value.
Fair value hierarchy
Topic 820 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP and expands
financial statement disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. Topic 820 further
specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques, which is based on whether the inputs into the
valuation technique are observable or unobservable. The hierarchy is as follows:
| Level 1 Valuation techniques in which all significant inputs are quoted prices
from active markets for assets or liabilities that are identical to the assets or
liabilities being measured. |
14
Table of Contents
Swift Transportation Company and Subsidiaries
Notes to consolidated financial statements (unaudited) (continued)
Notes to consolidated financial statements (unaudited) (continued)
| Level 2 Valuation techniques in which significant inputs include quoted prices
from active markets for assets or liabilities that are similar to the assets or
liabilities being measured and/or quoted prices from markets that are not
active for assets or liabilities that are identical or similar to the assets or liabilities
being measured. Also, model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and
significant value drivers are observable in active markets are Level 2 valuation
techniques. |
||
| Level 3 Valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or
significant value drivers are unobservable. Unobservable inputs are valuation technique
inputs that reflect the Companys own assumptions about the assumptions that market
participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. |
When available, the Company uses quoted market prices to determine the fair value of an asset
or liability. If quoted market prices are not available, the Company will measure fair value using
valuation techniques that use, when possible, current market-based or independently-sourced market
parameters, such as interest rates and currency rates. The level in the fair value hierarchy within
which a fair measurement in its entirety falls is based on the lowest level input that is
significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Following is a brief summary of the
Companys classification within the fair value hierarchy of each major category of assets and
liabilities that it measures and reports on its balance sheet at fair value on a recurring basis as
of June 30, 2011:
| Interest rate swaps. The Companys interest rate swaps are not actively traded but
are valued using valuation models and credit valuation adjustments, both of which use
significant inputs that are observable in active markets over the terms of the instruments
the Company holds, and accordingly, the Company classified these valuation techniques as
Level 2 in the hierarchy. |
As of June 30, 2011, information about inputs into the fair value measurements of each major
category of the Companys assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring
basis in periods subsequent to their initial recognition was as follows (in thousands):

in receivables was de-recognized upon recording the previously transferred receivables and
recognizing the securitization proceeds as a secured borrowing on the Companys balance sheet.
Thus the removal of the retained interest balance is reflected here as a transfer out of Level 3. |

In accordance with the provisions of Topic 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, trailers with a
carrying amount of $3.6 million were written down to their fair value of $2.3 million during the
first quarter of 2010, resulting in an impairment charge of $1.3 million, which was included in
impairments in the consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2010.
The impairment of these assets was identified due to the Companys decision to remove them from the
operating fleet through sale or salvage. For these assets valued using significant unobservable
inputs, inputs utilized included the Companys estimates and recent auction prices for similar
equipment and commodity prices for units expected to be salvaged.

The difference between basic shares outstanding and diluted shares outstanding for the three
and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 represents the dilutive effect of potential Class A
common shares issuable under outstanding stock option awards. As discussed in Note 3, the Company
issued 6,050,000 shares of Class A common stock in January 2011. For the three and six months ended
June 30, 2010, all potential common shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options are
excluded from diluted shares outstanding as their effect is antidilutive. As of June 30, 2011 and
2010, there were 5,906,758 and 6,207,920 options outstanding, respectively.
Note 13. Contingencies
The Company is involved in certain claims and pending litigation primarily arising in the
normal course of business. The majority of these claims relate to workers compensation, auto
collision and liability, and physical damage and cargo damage. The Company expenses legal fees as
incurred and accrues for the uninsured portion of contingent losses from these and other pending
claims when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can
be reasonably estimated. Based on the knowledge of the facts and, in certain cases, advice of
outside counsel, management believes the resolution of claims and pending litigation, taking into
account existing reserves, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company. However, the
results of complex legal proceedings are difficult to predict and the Companys view of these
matters may change in the future as the litigation and events related thereto unfold.
Note 14. Change in Estimate
In the first quarter of 2010, management undertook an evaluation of the Companys revenue
equipment and concluded that it would be more cost effective to scrap approximately 7,000 dry van
trailers rather than to maintain them in the operating fleet and is now in the process of scrapping
them. These trailers did not qualify for assets held for sale treatment and were thus considered
long-lived assets held and used. As a result, management revised its previous estimates regarding
remaining useful lives and estimated residual values for these trailers, resulting in incremental
depreciation expense in the first quarter of 2010 of $7.4 million. These trailers are in addition
to the approximately 2,500 trailers that were reclassified to assets held for sale, as discussed in
Note 6.

Note 15. Guarantor Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements
The payment of principal and interest on the Companys senior second priority secured notes
are guaranteed by the Companys wholly-owned subsidiaries (the Guarantor Subsidiaries) other than
its driver academy subsidiary, its captive insurance subsidiaries, its special-purpose receivables
securitization subsidiary, and its foreign subsidiaries (the Non-guarantor Subsidiaries). The
separate financial statements of the Guarantor Subsidiaries are not included herein because the
Guarantor Subsidiaries are the Companys wholly-owned consolidated subsidiaries and are jointly,
severally, fully and unconditionally liable for the obligations represented by the senior second
priority secured notes.
The condensed consolidating financial statements present consolidating financial data for (i)
Swift Transportation Company (on a parent only basis), (ii) Swift Services Holdings, Inc. (on an
issuer only basis), (iii) the combined Guarantor Subsidiaries, (iv) the combined Non-Guarantor
Subsidiaries, (iv) an elimination column for adjustments to arrive at the information for the
parent company and subsidiaries on a consolidated basis and (v) the parent company and subsidiaries
on a consolidated basis as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 and for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. Swift Services Holdings, Inc. was formed in November 2010 in
anticipation of the issuance of the senior second priority secured notes, and as such, there is no
financial activity for this entity prior to this date.
Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for by the respective parent company using the
equity method for purposes of this presentation. Results of operations of subsidiaries are
therefore reflected in the parent companys investment accounts and earnings. The principal
elimination entries set forth below eliminate investments in subsidiaries and intercompany balances
and transactions.

ITEM 2: | MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of
operations should be read together with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes
included elsewhere in this report and our Annual Report on form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 2010.
Non-GAAP Measures
In addition to disclosing financial results that are determined in accordance with United
States generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, we also disclose certain non-GAAP
financial information, such as, Adjusted Operating Ratio, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EPS, which
are not recognized measures under GAAP and should not be considered alternatives to or superior to
profitability and cash flow measures derived in accordance with GAAP. We use Adjusted Operating
Ratio, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EPS as a supplement to our GAAP results in evaluating certain
aspects of our business, as described below. We believe our presentation of Adjusted Operating
Ratio, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EPS is useful because it provides investors and securities
analysts the same information that we use internally for purposes of assessing our core operating
performance. See below for more information on our use of Adjusted Operating Ratio, Adjusted
EBITDA, and Adjusted EPS, as well as a description of the computation and reconciliation of our
Operating Ratio to our Adjusted Operating Ratio, our net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA, and our
diluted earnings (loss) per share to Adjusted EPS.
We define Adjusted Operating Ratio as (a) total operating expenses, less (i) fuel surcharge
revenue, (ii) non-cash impairment charges, (iii) other special items, and (iv) excludable
transaction costs, as a percentage of (b) total revenue excluding fuel surcharge revenue. We
believe fuel surcharge is sometimes volatile and eliminating the impact of this source of revenue
(by netting fuel surcharge revenue against fuel expense) provides a more consistent basis for
comparing our results of operations. We also believe excluding impairments and other special items
enhances the comparability of our performance from period to period. A reconciliation of our
Adjusted Operating Ratio for each of the periods indicated is as follows:

amortization expense of $4.3 million and $4.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011
and 2010, respectively, and $8.8 million and $10.1 million for the six months ended June 30,
2011 and 2010, respectively, relating to certain intangible assets identified in the 2007
going-private transaction through which Swift Corporation acquired Swift Transportation Co. |

We define Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
(Adjusted EBITDA) as net income (loss) plus (i) depreciation and amortization, (ii) interest and
derivative interest expense, including other fees and charges associated with indebtedness, net of
interest income, (iii) income taxes, (iv) non-cash impairments, (v) non-cash equity compensation
expense, (vi) other special non-cash items, and (vii) excludable transaction costs. We believe that
Adjusted EBITDA is a relevant measure for estimating the cash generated by our operations that
would be available to cover capital
expenditures, taxes, interest and other investments and that it enhances an investors
understanding of our financial performance. We use Adjusted EBITDA for business planning purposes
and in measuring our performance relative to that of our competitors. Our method of computing
Adjusted EBITDA is consistent with that used in our senior secured credit agreement for covenant
compliance purposes and may differ from similarly titled measures of other companies. A
reconciliation of GAAP net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA for each of the periods indicated is as
follows:

We define Adjusted EPS as (1) income (loss) before income taxes plus (i) amortization of
the intangibles from our 2007 going-private transaction, (ii) non-cash impairments, (iii) other
special non-cash items, (iv) excludable transaction costs, (v) the mark-to-market adjustment on our
interest rate swaps that is recognized in the statement of operations in a given period, and (vi)
the amortization of previous losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income related to
the interest rate swaps we terminated upon our IPO and refinancing transactions in December 2010;
(2) reduced by income taxes at 39%, our normalized effective tax rate; (3) divided by weighted
average diluted shares outstanding. We believe the presentation of financial results excluding the
impact of the items noted above provides a consistent basis for comparing our results from period
to period and to those of our peers due to the non-comparable nature of the intangibles from our
going-private transaction, the historical volatility of the interest rate derivative agreements and
the non-operating nature of the impairment charges, transaction costs and other adjustment items. A
reconciliation of GAAP diluted earnings (loss) per share to Adjusted EPS for each of the periods
indicated is as follows (the numbers reflected in the below table are calculated on a per share

expense of $4.0 million and $8.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011,
respectively, included in derivative interest expense in the consolidated statements of
operations and is comprised of previous losses reclassified from accumulated other
comprehensive income related to the interest rate swaps we terminated upon our IPO and
concurrent refinancing transactions in December 2010. Such losses were incurred in prior
periods when hedge accounting applied to the swaps and are being expensed in relation to the
hedged interest payments through the original maturity of the swaps in August 2012. |
Overview
We are a multi-faceted transportation services company and the largest truckload carrier in
North America. As of June 30, 2011, we operate a tractor fleet of approximately 16,900 units
comprised of 12,800 company tractors and 4,100 owner-operator tractors, a fleet of 49,300 trailers,
and 5,700 intermodal containers from 34 major terminals positioned near major freight centers and
traffic lanes in the United States and Mexico. We offer customers the opportunity for one-stop
shopping for their truckload transportation needs through a broad spectrum of services and
equipment. Our extensive suite of services includes general, dedicated, and cross-border
U.S./Mexico truckload services through dry van, temperature-controlled, flatbed, and specialized
trailers, in addition to rail intermodal and non-asset based freight brokerage and logistics
management services, making it an attractive choice for a broad array of customers.
We principally operate in short-to-medium-haul traffic lanes around our terminals, with an
average loaded length of haul of less than 500 miles. We concentrate on this length of haul because
the majority of domestic truckload freight (as measured by revenue) moves in these lanes and our
extensive terminal network affords us marketing, equipment control, supply chain, customer service,
and driver retention advantages in local markets. Our relatively short average length of haul also
helps reduce competition from railroads and trucking companies that lack a regional presence.
The tables below reflect a summary of our operating results and other key performance measures
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

Trucking Revenue
Trucking revenue is generated by hauling freight for our customers using our trucks or our
owner-operators equipment and includes all revenue we earn from our general truckload, dedicated,
cross border, and drayage services. For the three
months ended June 30, 2011, our trucking revenue increased by $50.6 million, or 9.2%, compared
with the same period in 2010. This increase was comprised of a 4.3% growth in loaded trucking miles
and a 4.7% increase in average trucking revenue per loaded mile, excluding fuel surcharge, compared
with the same period in 2010. These increases contributed to a 4.8% increase in productivity,
measured by weekly trucking revenue per tractor in the 2011 quarter over the 2010 quarter. For the
six months ended June 30, 2011, our trucking revenue increased by $101.8 million, or 9.7%, compared
with the same period in 2010. This increase was comprised of a 5.1% growth in loaded trucking miles
and a 4.4% increase in average trucking revenue per loaded mile, excluding fuel surcharge, compared
with the same period in 2010. These increases contributed to a 5.2% increase in productivity,
measured by weekly trucking revenue per tractor in the 2011 period over the 2010 period.
Fuel Surcharge Revenue
Fuel surcharges are designed to compensate us for fuel costs above a certain cost per gallon
base. Generally, we receive fuel surcharges on the miles for which we are compensated by customers.
The main factors that affect fuel surcharge revenue are the price of diesel fuel and the number of
loaded miles. Our fuel surcharges are billed on a lagging basis, meaning we typically bill
customers in the current week based on a previous weeks applicable index. Therefore, in times of
increasing fuel prices, we do not recover as much as we are currently paying for fuel. In periods
of declining prices, the opposite is true.
For the three months ended June 30, 2011, fuel surcharge revenue increased by $66.2 million,
or 59.1%, compared with the same period in 2010. The average of the United States Department of
Energy, or DOEs national weekly average diesel fuel index increased 32.7% to $4.02 per gallon in
2011 compared with $3.03 per gallon in the 2010 period. The 3.4% increase in total loaded miles
also increased fuel surcharge revenue.
For the six months ended June 30, 2011, fuel surcharge revenue increased by $115.2 million, or
57.3%, compared with the same period in 2010. The average of the DOEs national weekly average
diesel fuel index increased 29.6% to $3.81 per gallon in 2011 compared with $2.94 per gallon in the
2010 period. The 4.4% increase in total loaded miles also increased fuel surcharge revenue.
Other Revenue
Our other revenue is generated primarily by our rail intermodal business, non-asset based
freight brokerage and logistics management service, tractor leasing revenue of Interstate Equipment
Leasing (IEL), premium revenue generated by our wholly-owned captive insurance companies, and
other revenue generated by our shops. For the three months ended June 30, 2011, other revenue
decreased by $2.6 million, or 3.5%, compared with the 2010 period. This resulted primarily from a
$1.1 million decrease in revenue generated by our shops and a $0.7 million decrease in intermodal
revenue, which reflects a significant decrease in trailer on flat car, or TOFC, revenue largely
offset by a moderate increase in container on flat car, or COFC, revenue. These items were
partially offset by an increase in tractor leasing revenue of IEL as a result of the growth in our
owner operator fleet. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, other revenue increased by $1.3
million, or 1.0%, compared with the 2010 period. This resulted primarily from a $3.6 million
increase in tractor leasing revenue of IEL resulting from the growth in our owner operator fleet,
partially offset by a decrease in revenue generated by our shops.

fuel surcharge revenue, salaries, wages, and employee benefits were relatively flat with the same
period in 2010. The dollar increase was primarily as a result of a 4.9% increase in the total miles
driven by company drivers in the second quarter of 2011 compared to the second quarter of 2010, an
increase in healthcare costs, and an increase in administrative staff to support our growing
business. Additionally, there was $2.3 million of stock compensation expense recognized in the
second quarter of 2011 whereas no stock compensation expense was recognized in the prior year until
our IPO in December 2010 due to the terms of our stock option award agreements.

compared with the same period in 2010. As a percentage of revenue excluding fuel surcharge
revenue, salaries, wages, and employee benefits were relatively flat with the same period in 2010.
The dollar increase was primarily as a result of a 5.8% increase in the total miles driven by
company drivers in the first six months of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 and an increase
in administrative staff to support our growing business. Additionally, there was $4.7 million of

The compensation paid to our drivers and other employees has increased and may increase
further in future periods as the economy strengthens and other employment alternatives become more
available.

million, or 8.4%, compared with the same period in 2010. As a percentage of revenue excluding fuel
surcharge revenue, operating supplies and expenses were flat with the same period in 2010. The
dollar increase was primarily the result of an increase in tractor maintenance expense due to the
increase in total miles driven by company tractors in the second quarter of 2011 compared to the
second quarter of 2010 and an overall increase in our fleet age.
For the six months ended June 30, 2011, operating supplies and expenses increased by $13.8
million, or 13.5%, compared with the same period in 2010. As a percentage of revenue excluding fuel
surcharge revenue, operating supplies and expenses increased to 9.0%, compared with 8.6% for the
2010 period. The increase was primarily the result of an increase in tractor maintenance expense
due to the increase in total miles driven by company tractors in the first six months of 2011
compared to the same period in 2010 and an overall increase in our fleet age. Additionally, our
driver recruiting expenses increased due to the tightening driver labor market and our expanded
hiring of drivers in response to our increased volumes.
Because we believe that the market for drivers has tightened, hiring expenses, including
recruiting and advertising, have increased and we expect will continue to increase in order to
attract sufficient numbers of qualified drivers to operate our fleet.

To measure the effectiveness of our fuel surcharge program, we subtract fuel surcharge revenue
(other than the fuel surcharge revenue we reimburse to owner-operators, the railroads, and other
third parties which is included in purchased transportation) from our fuel expense. The result is
referred to as net fuel expense. Our net fuel expense as a percentage of revenue excluding fuel
surcharge revenue is affected by the cost of diesel fuel net of surcharge collection, the
percentage of miles driven by company trucks, our fuel economy, and our percentage of deadhead
miles, for which we do not receive fuel surcharge revenues. Net fuel expense as a percentage of
revenue less fuel surcharge revenue is shown below:

For the three months ended June 30, 2011, net fuel expense increased $13.3 million, or 30.3%,
compared with the same period in 2010 primarily as a result of the increase in total miles driven
by company tractors. As a percentage of revenue excluding fuel surcharge revenue, net fuel expense
increased to 8.5%, compared with 7.1% for the 2010 period largely due to the increase in fuel
prices year over year, as well as the mix shift whereby the percentage of our total miles driven by

primarily as a result of a decrease in our current year actuarial loss pick due to our continued
improvement in our accident frequency and severity, partially offset by the increase in total auto
liability exposure miles and increased losses incurred in the second quarter by our captive
insurance subsidiaries on owner operator claims.
For the six months ended June 30, 2011, insurance and claims expense increased by $0.9

the increase in total auto liability exposure miles. Sequentially, insurance and claims expense
increased slightly as a percentage of revenue excluding fuel surcharge revenue in the second
quarter of 2011 over the first quarter primarily as a result of increased losses incurred in the
second quarter by our captive insurance subsidiaries on owner operator claims as well as the
benefit in the first quarter of 2011 for improvements in prior year losses.
Rental Expense and Depreciation and Amortization of Property and Equipment
Because the mix of our leased versus owned tractors varies, we believe it is appropriate to
combine our rental expense with our depreciation and amortization of property and equipment when

For the three months ended June 30, 2011, rental expense and depreciation and amortization of
property and equipment increased by $2.9 million, or 4.2%, compared with the same period in 2010.
As a percentage of revenue excluding fuel surcharge revenue, such expenses decreased to 10.5%
compared with 10.9% for the 2010 period as a result of the increase in weekly trucking revenue per
tractor noted above. The dollar increase was primarily due to higher depreciation expense due to a
larger average number of tractors and intermodal containers in the second quarter of 2011 as
compared to the second quarter of 2010.
For the six months ended June 30, 2011, rental expense and depreciation and amortization of
property and equipment decreased by $7.7 million, or 5.2%, compared with the same period in 2010.
As a percentage of revenue excluding fuel surcharge revenue, such expenses decreased to 10.8%,
compared with 12.3% for the 2010 period. This decrease was primarily due to the $7.4 million of
incremental depreciation expense recorded during the first quarter of 2010, reflecting managements
revised estimates regarding salvage value and useful lives for approximately 7,000 dry van
trailers, which management decided during the first quarter of 2010 to sell as scrap over the next
few years. Additionally, the increase in weekly trucking revenue per tractor noted above also
contributed to the decreases in cost as a percentage of revenue excluding fuel surcharge revenue.
These decreases were partially offset by higher depreciation expense due to a larger average number
of owned tractors and intermodal containers in the first six months of 2011 as compared to the same
period in 2010.
In the first quarter of 2011, we decided to replace within the next 12 months certain Qualcomm
units with remaining useful lives extending beyond twelve months. Accordingly, we have revised
their estimated useful lives, which will result in an increase of approximately $3 million in
depreciation expense in 2011, of which $1.0 million and $1.7 million were included in the three and
six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively.
Amortization of Intangibles
Amortization of intangibles consists primarily of amortization of $261.2 million gross
carrying value of definite-lived intangible assets recognized under purchase accounting in
connection with our 2007 going private transaction in which Swift Corporation acquired Swift
Transportation Co.

with the 2007 going private transaction and $0.3 million in each period related to previous
intangible assets from smaller acquisitions by Swift Transportation Co. prior to the going private
transaction. Amortization expense decreased slightly in the 2011 quarter from the prior year
quarter primarily due to the 150% declining balance amortization method applied to the customer
relationship intangible recognized in conjunction with the 2007 going private transaction.
Amortization of intangibles for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 is comprised of
$8.8 million and $10.1 million, respectively, related to intangible assets recognized in
conjunction with the 2007 going private transaction and $0.6 million in each period related to
previous intangible assets from smaller acquisitions by Swift Transportation Co. prior to the going
private transaction. Amortization expense decreased slightly in the 2011 period from the prior

Interest expense |
$ | 36,631 | $ | 62,768 | $ | 74,132 | $ | 125,364 |
Interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 is primarily based on the
end of period debt balances of $999.6 million carrying value for the senior secured first lien term
loan, $490.7 million carrying value of senior second priority secured notes, $176.0 million for our
accounts receivable securitization obligation, and $26.6 million for our previous fixed and
floating rate notes. Interest expense in the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 is primarily
based on the previous debt balances of $1.49 billion for our previous first lien term loan, $709
million for our previous senior secured notes, and $137.0 million for our accounts receivable
securitization obligation. In addition, as of June 30, 2011, we had $169.3 million of capital lease
obligations compared to $170.2 million of capital leases at June 30, 2010. Interest expense
decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 largely because of the IPO and
refinancing transactions which occurred in December 2010 resulting in lower debt balances and lower
interest rates on the senior secured credit facility and fixed rate notes.
Derivative Interest Expense
Derivative interest expense consists of expenses related to our interest rate swaps, including
the income effect of mark-to-market adjustments of interest rate swaps and settlement payments. We
de-designated our previous swaps and discontinued hedge accounting effective October 1, 2009, as a
result of an amendment to our prior senior secured credit facility, after which the entire
mark-to-market adjustment was charged to earnings rather than being recorded in equity as a
component of other comprehensive income under cash flow hedge accounting treatment. Furthermore,
the non-cash amortization of previous losses recorded in other comprehensive income (OCI) in
prior periods (when hedge accounting was in effect) is recorded in derivative interest expense. In
December 2010, in conjunction with our IPO and refinancing transactions, we terminated all our
remaining interest rate swaps and paid $66.4 million to our counterparties in full satisfaction of
these interest rate swap agreements. In April 2011, in connection with our new senior secured
credit facility, we entered into two forward-starting interest rate swap agreements with a total
notional amount of $350 million. These interest rate swaps take effect in January 2013, mature in
July 2015, and have been designated and qualified as cash flow hedges. As such, the effective
portion of the changes in fair value of these designated swaps is recorded in accumulated OCI and
is thereafter recognized to derivative interest expense as the interest on the variable debt
affects earnings, which hedged interest accruals do not begin until January 2013. Any ineffective
portions of the changes in the fair value of designated interest rate swaps will be recognized
directly to earnings as derivative interest expense. The following is a summary of our derivative
interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010:

Derivative interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 is related to our
terminated swaps and represents the previous losses recorded in accumulated OCI that are amortized
to derivative interest expense over the original term of the swaps, which had a maturity of August
2012. Derivative interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 represents
settlement payments and changes in fair value of our previous interest rate swaps with notional
amounts of $1.14 billion. Cash settlements paid pursuant to the swaps in the three and six months
ended June 30, 2010 were $13.8 million and $27.5 million, respectively.

Income tax expense (benefit) |
$ | 13,485 | $ | 4,960 | $ | 15,806 | $ | (4,565 | ) |
Income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 reflects an effective tax
rate of 41%, which was 2% higher than the expected effective tax rate primarily due to the
amortization of previous losses from accumulated other comprehensive income (OCI) to income (for
book purposes) related to the Companys previous interest rate swaps that were terminated in
December 2010 and a change in unrecognized tax benefits during the quarter resulting from a state
tax audit. Income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2010 reflects an effective tax
rate of -27%, representing income tax expense on a net loss; this result was also primarily due to
the amortization of previous losses from accumulated OCI related to the previous interest rate
swaps and a change in unrecognized tax benefits during the quarter resulting from an IRS
examination. Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was 6%, which was 19% less
than the 2010 expected effective tax rate of 25% as a result of the same factors causing the
difference in the three months ended June 30, 2010. The amortization had a larger impact on the
effective tax rate in the 2010 periods because the amortization was larger in 2010, and because the
magnitude of the estimated expected full year pre-tax income (loss) was smaller for 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we had the following sources of liquidity available to
us:

Total liquidity, including restricted cash |
$ | 453,952 | $ | 381,371 | ||||
At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we had restricted cash of $96.3 million and $84.6
million, respectively, primarily held by our captive insurance companies for the payment of claims.
As of June 30, 2011, there were no outstanding borrowings, and there were $167.9 million letters of
credit outstanding under our $400 million revolving line of credit.
Our business requires substantial amounts of cash to cover operating expenses as well as to
fund items such as cash capital expenditures, other assets, working capital changes, principal and
interest payments on our obligations, letters of credit to support insurance requirements, and tax
payments to fund our taxes in periods when we generate taxable income.
We make substantial net capital expenditures to maintain a modern company tractor fleet,
refresh our trailer fleet, and potentially fund growth in our revenue equipment fleet if justified
by customer demand and our ability to finance the equipment and generate acceptable returns. As of
June 30, 2011, we expect our net cash capital expenditures to be approximately $130 million for the
remainder of 2011. However, we expect to continue to obtain a portion of our equipment under
operating and capital leases, which are not reflected as net cash capital expenditures. Beyond
2011, we expect our net capital expenditures to remain substantial.
As of June 30, 2011, we had $769.8 million of purchase commitments outstanding to acquire
replacement tractors through the rest of 2011, 2012 and 2013. We generally have the option to
cancel tractor purchase orders with 60 to 90 days notice prior to scheduled production, although
the notice date has lapsed for approximately 30% of the commitments remaining at June 30, 2011. In
addition, we had trailer and intermodal container purchase commitments outstanding at June 30, 2011
for $46.6 million and $14.1 million, respectively, through the rest of 2011. These purchases are
expected to be financed by the combination of operating leases, capital leases, debt, proceeds from
sales of existing equipment and cash flows from operations.
As of June 30, 2011, we have outstanding purchase commitments of approximately $3.1 million
for fuel, facilities, and non-revenue equipment. Factors such as costs and opportunities for
future terminal expansions may change the amount of such expenditures.
We believe we can finance our expected cash needs, including debt repayment, in the short-term
with cash flows from operations, borrowings available under our revolving line of credit,
borrowings under our 2011 RSA, and lease financing believed to be available for at least the next
twelve months. Over the long-term, we will continue to have significant capital requirements, which
may require us to seek additional borrowings, lease financing, or equity capital. The availability
of financing or equity capital will depend upon our financial condition and results of operations
as well as prevailing market conditions. If such additional borrowings, lease financing, or equity
capital is not available at the time we need to incur such indebtedness, then we may be required to
utilize the revolving portion of our senior secured credit facility (if not then fully drawn),
extend the maturity of then-outstanding indebtedness, rely on alternative financing arrangements,
or engage in asset sales.
In addition, the indenture for our senior secured notes provides that we may only incur
additional indebtedness if, after giving effect to the new incurrence, we meet minimum fixed charge
coverage ratio of 2.00:1.00, as defined therein, or the indebtedness qualifies under certain
specifically enumerated carve-outs and debt incurrence baskets, including a provision that permits
us to incur capital lease obligations of up to $350 million at any one time. As of June 30, 2011,
we had a fixed charge coverage ratio of 3.58:1.00. However, there can be no assurance that we can
maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio over 2.00:1.00, in which case our ability to incur
additional indebtedness under our existing financial arrangements to satisfy our ongoing capital
requirements would be limited as noted above, although we believe the combination of our expected
cash
flows, financing available through operating leases which are not subject to debt incurrence
baskets, the capital lease basket, and the funds available to us through our accounts receivable
sale facility and our revolving credit facility will be sufficient to fund our expected capital
expenditures for 2011.

Table of Contents
The 2011 RSA contains certain restrictions and provisions (including cross-default provisions
to the Companys other debt agreements) which, if not met, could restrict the Companys ability to
borrow against future eligible receivables. The inability to borrow against additional receivables
would reduce liquidity as the daily proceeds from collections on the receivables levered prior to
termination are remitted to the lenders, with no further reinvestment of these funds by the lenders
into the Company.
Our IPO and refinancing transactions in December 2010 provided us (i) a reduction in interest
expense resulting from a reduction in indebtedness and the interest rates applicable to our new
debt facilities, and (ii) a deferred maturity date in connection with our senior secured credit
facility, which positively impacts our liquidity on a long-term basis. Further, refinancing our
accounts receivable securitization facility during the second quarter of 2011 benefits us by
increasing our borrowing capacity and reducing the interest rates applicable to amounts borrowed as
compared to our previous facility.
Additionally, we meet the fixed charge coverage ratio required to incur additional
indebtedness under our senior second priority secured notes (whereas we did not previously meet
such ratio under our prior senior secured notes), which also positively impacts liquidity.
Cash Flow
Our summary statements of cash flows information for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and
2010 is set forth in the table below:
Six Months Ended June 30, | ||||||||
2011 | 2010 | |||||||
(Unaudited) | ||||||||
(Dollars in thousands) | ||||||||
Net cash provided by operating activities |
$ | 122,213 | $ | 33,252 | ||||
Net cash used in investing activities |
$ | (101,498 | ) | $ | (75,348 | ) | ||
Net cash used in financing activities |
$ | (23,553 | ) | $ | (46,461 | ) |
Operating Activities
The $89.0 million increase in net cash provided by operating activities during the six months
ended June 30, 2011 versus the same period in 2010 was primarily the result of the $118.1 million
decrease in cash paid for interest and taxes between the periods, primarily as a result of the
decrease in debt balances and interest rates after the IPO and refinancing transactions that
occurred in December 2010 and a reduction in tax payments made during the six months ended June 30,
2011 compared to that of the same period in 2010. Additionally, there was a $34.9 million increase
in operating income between the periods and a $2.8 million reduction in claims payments made over
the same periods. These increases in cash provided by operating activities were partially offset by
a greater increase in accounts receivable in the 2011 period.
Investing Activities
The $26.2 million increase in net cash used in investing activities during the six months
ended June 30, 2011 versus the same period in 2010 was driven mainly by a $51.6 million increase in
capital expenditures, net of disposal proceeds, between the periods. This increase in net cash
used in investing activities was partially offset by a $23.6 million decrease in restricted cash
accumulation between the periods. In the first six months of 2010, restricted cash increased much
more due to a change in our insurance strategy as we began insuring our first $1 million of
liability through our wholly-owned captive insurance subsidiaries, Mohave Transportation Insurance
Company (Mohave), and Red Rock Risk Retention Group, Inc. (Red Rock) thus increasing our
collateral requirements.
Financing Activities
Cash used in financing activities decreased by $22.9 million in the six months ended June 30,
2011 as compared to the same period in 2011. This decrease reflects proceeds of $63.2 million,
before expenses, from the sale of our Class A common stock, pursuant to the over-allotment option
in connection with our IPO and a net $4.5 million increase in borrowings under the 2011 RSA
partially offset by a $52.2 million increase in payments on long term debt and capital lease
obligations.

Capital and Operating Leases
In addition to the net cash capital expenditures discussed above, we also acquired revenue
equipment with capital and operating leases. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we acquired
tractors through capital and operating leases with original values of $0.7 million and $132.3
million, respectively, which was partially offset by operating lease terminations with originating
values of $24.3 million for tractors in the first six months of 2011. During the six months ended
June 30, 2010, we acquired tractors through capital and operating leases with original values of
$28.8 million and $7.3 million, respectively, which was partially offset by operating lease
terminations with originating values of $9.5 million for tractors in the first six months of 2010.
In addition, no trailer leases expired in the six months ended June 30, 2011 while $22.5 million of
trailer leases expired in the six months ended June 30, 2010.
Working Capital
As of June 30, 2011, we had a working capital surplus of $259.1 million, which was an
improvement of $73.0 million from December 31, 2010. The increase is primarily a result of the
$55.4 million increase in accounts receivable due to the increase in revenue, as well as a net $4.5
million increase in borrowing under the accounts receivable securitization facility (a non-current
obligation) and a $5.6 million decrease in the equipment accrual between the periods.
Additionally, our issuance of additional Class A common stock in January 2011 pursuant to the
underwriters over-allotment option, as discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial
statements, contributed to the working capital improvement as we used $10.7 million of the proceeds
to pay down the current portion of our first lien term loan during the first quarter of 2011, while
the remainder was applied to non-current obligations.
Material Debt Agreements
Overview
As of June 30, 2011, we had the following material debt agreements:
| senior secured credit facility consisting of a term loan due December 2016, and a
revolving line of credit due December 2015 (none drawn); |
| senior second priority secured notes due November 2018; |
| floating rate notes due May 2015; |
| fixed rate notes due May 2017; |
| 2011 RSA due June 2014; and |
| other secured indebtedness and capital lease agreements. |
The majority of currently outstanding debt was issued in December 2010 to refinance debt
initially incurred in connection with the Companys acquisition of Swift Transportation Co. in May
2007, a going private transaction under SEC rules. The debt outstanding at June 30, 2011 primarily
consists of proceeds from a first lien term loan pursuant to a senior secured credit facility with
a group of lenders with a face value of $1.01 billion at June 30, 2011, net of unamortized original
issue discount of $9.8 million, and proceeds from the offering of $500 million face value of senior
second priority secured notes, net of unamortized original issue discount of $9.3 million at June
30, 2011. The credit facility and senior notes are secured by substantially all of the assets of
the Company and are guaranteed by Swift Transportation Company, IEL, Swift Transportation Co. and
its domestic subsidiaries other than its captive insurance subsidiaries, driver training academy
subsidiary, and its bankruptcy-remote special purpose subsidiary.
On January 20, 2011, the Company issued an additional 6,050,000 shares of its Class A common
stock to the underwriters of its initial public offering at the initial public offering price of
$11.00 per share, less the underwriters discount, and received proceeds of $63.2 million, before
expenses, pursuant to the over-allotment option in the underwriting agreement. Of these proceeds,
$60.0 million were used in January 2011 to pay down the first lien term loan. As a result of this
prepayment, the next scheduled principal payment on the first lien term loan is due September 30,
2016.
Senior Secured Credit Facility
The credit facility was entered into on December 21, 2010 and consists of a first lien term
loan with an original aggregate principal amount of $1.07 billion due December 2016 and a $400
million revolving line of credit due December 2015. As of June 30, 2011, the principal outstanding
under the first lien term loan was $1.01 billion and the unamortized original issue discount was
$9.8 million.
39
Table of Contents
As of June 30, 2011, there were no borrowings under the $400 million revolving line of credit
and the Company had outstanding letters of credit under the revolving line of credit primarily for
workers compensation and self-insurance liability purposes totaling $167.9 million, leaving $232.1
million available under the revolving line of credit. At June 30, 2011, the Company was in
compliance with the financial covenants contained in the senior secured credit agreement.
Senior Second Priority Secured Notes
On December 21, 2010, Swift Services Holdings, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary, completed a
private placement of senior second priority secured notes totaling $500 million face value which
mature in November 2018 and bear interest at 10.00% (the senior notes). The Company received
proceeds of $490 million, net of a $10.0 million original issue discount. Interest on the senior
notes is payable on May 15 and November 15 each year. At June 30, 2011, the Company was in
compliance with the covenants contained in the indenture governing the senior notes.
Fixed and Floating-Rate Notes
As of June 30, 2011, there was $11.0 million outstanding of floating rate notes due May 15,
2015, accruing at three-month LIBOR plus 7.75% (8.01% at June 30, 2011), and $15.6 million
outstanding of 12.50% fixed rate notes due May 15, 2017. In July 2011, the Company initiated a call
of the $11.0 million remaining floating rate notes at par, which call is scheduled to close on
August 15, 2011.
2011 RSA
On June 8, 2011, we through SRCII, a wholly-owned bankruptcy-remote special purpose
subsidiary, entered into a receivables sale agreement with unrelated financial entities (the
Purchasers) to replace our prior accounts receivable sale facility and to sell, on a revolving
basis, undivided interests in our consolidated accounts receivable. The 2011 RSA provides for up to
$275 million initially in borrowing capacity, subject to eligible receivables and reserve
requirements, secured by the receivables and terminates on June 8, 2014. Outstanding balances
under the 2011 RSA accrue program fees generally at commercial paper rates plus 125 basis points
and unused capacity is subject to an unused commitment fee of 40 basis points. Additionally, on
June 8, 2011, in connection with the entry into the 2011 RSA, we terminated the 2008 RSA. The
maximum amount available under the 2008 RSA was $210 million and the final maturity date was July
30, 2013. Outstanding balances under the 2008 RSA accrued interest at a yield of LIBOR plus 300
basis points or Prime plus 200 basis points, at the Companys discretion and was subject to an
unused commitment fee ranging from 25 to 50 basis points, depending on the aggregate unused
commitment of the 2008 RSA. The 2011 RSA benefits the Company, as compared to the 2008 RSA, by
increasing its borrowing capacity by $65 million and reducing the interest rate on amounts drawn by
approximately 175 basis points. As of June 30, 2011, the outstanding borrowing under the 2011 RSA
was $176.0 million against a total available borrowing base of $256.9 million, leaving $80.9
million available. Refer to Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements included under Part I
of this report for a further discussion of our securitization facility.
Pursuant to the 2011 RSA, collections on the underlying receivables by the Company are held
for the benefit of SRCII and the lenders in the facility and are unavailable to satisfy claims of
the Company and its subsidiaries. The 2011 RSA contains certain restrictions and provisions
(including cross-default provisions to the Companys other debt agreements) which, if not met,
could restrict the Companys ability to borrow against future eligible receivables. The inability
to borrow against additional receivables would reduce liquidity as the daily proceeds from
collections on the receivables levered prior to termination are remitted to the lenders, with no
further reinvestment of these funds by the lenders into the Company.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We lease approximately 4,700 tractors under operating leases. Operating leases have been an
important source of financing for our revenue equipment. Tractors held under operating leases are
not carried on our consolidated balance sheets, and lease payments in respect of such tractors are
reflected in our consolidated statements of operations in the line item Rental expense. Our
revenue equipment rental expense was $35.6 million in the six months ended June 30 2011, compared
with $37.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010. In connection with various operating
leases, we issued residual value guarantees, which provide that if we do not purchase the leased
equipment from the lessor at the end of the lease term, we are liable to the lessor for an amount
equal to the shortage (if any) between the proceeds from the sale of the equipment and an agreed
residual value. As of June 30, 2011, the maximum possible payment under the residual value
guarantees was approximately $18.3 million. To the extent the expected value at the lease
termination date is lower than the residual value guarantee, we would accrue for the difference
over the remaining lease term. We believe that proceeds from the sale of equipment under operating
leases would exceed the payment obligation on substantially all operating leases.

Table of Contents
Seasonality
In the transportation industry, results of operations generally show a seasonal pattern. As
customers ramp up for the holiday season at year-end, the late third and fourth quarters have
historically been our strongest volume quarters. As customers reduce shipments after the winter
holiday season, the first quarter has historically been a lower volume quarter for us than the
other three quarters. In the eastern and midwestern United States, and to a lesser extent in the
western United States, during the winter season, our equipment utilization typically declines and
our operating expenses generally increase, with fuel efficiency declining because of engine idling
and harsh weather sometimes creating higher accident frequency, increased claims, and more
equipment repairs. Our revenue also may be affected by bad weather and holidays as a result of
curtailed operations or vacation shutdowns, because our revenue is directly related to available
working days of shippers. From time to time, we also suffer short-term impacts from
weather-related events such as tornadoes, hurricanes, blizzards, ice storms, floods, fires,
earthquakes, and explosions that could harm our results of operations or make our results of
operations more volatile.
Inflation
Inflation can have an impact on our operating costs. A prolonged period of inflation could
cause interest rates, fuel, wages, and other costs to increase, which would adversely affect our
results of operations unless freight rates correspondingly increased. However, with the exception
of fuel, the effect of inflation has been minor in recent years. Our average fuel cost per gallon
has increased 36.0% between the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2011. Historically, the majority
of the increase in fuel costs has been passed on to our customers through a corresponding increase
in fuel surcharge revenue, making the impact of the increased fuel costs on our operating results
less severe. If fuel costs escalate and we are unable to recover these costs timely with effective
fuel surcharges, it would have an adverse effect on our operation and profitability.
Forward Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report contains statements that may constitute forward-looking statements,
usually identified by words such as anticipates, believes, estimates, plans, projects,
expects, intends, or similar expressions which speak only as of the date the statement was
made. Forward-looking statements in this quarterly report include statements concerning:
adjustments to income tax assessments as the result of ongoing and future audits; anticipated
changes in our unrecognized tax benefits during the next 12 months; the outcome of pending
litigation and actions we intend to take in respect thereof; the amount and timing of the
recognition of unrealized losses included in other comprehensive income; trends concerning supply,
demand, pricing and costs in the trucking industry; our expectation of increasing driver wage and
hiring expenses; the benefits of our fuel surcharge program and our ability to recover increasing
fuel costs through surcharges; the impact of the lag effect relating to our fuel surcharges; the
sources and sufficiency of our liquidity and financial resources; the consequences of a failure to
maintain compliance with our debt covenants; the impact of new accounting standards; the timing of
our disposition of assets held for sale; the timing of the realization in earnings of unrealized
losses relating to our interest rate swaps; our intentions concerning the potential use of
derivative financial instruments to hedge fuel price increases; and the timing and amount of future
acquisitions of trucking equipment and other capital expenditures and the use and availability of
cash, cash flow from operations, leases and debt to finance such acquisitions. Such statements are
based upon the current beliefs and expectations of the Companys management and are subject to
significant risks and uncertainties. Actual events may differ materially from those set forth in
the forward-looking statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any
forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
As to the Companys business and financial performance, the following factors, among others,
could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements: the
amount and velocity of changes in fuel prices and our ability to recover fuel prices through our
fuel surcharge program; the direction and duration of any trends, in pricing and volumes;
assumptions regarding demand; any future recessionary economic cycles and downturns in customers
business cycles, particularly in market segments and industries in which we have a significant
concentration of customers; increasing competition from trucking, rail, intermodal, and brokerage
competitors; a significant reduction in, or termination of, our trucking services by a key
customer; our ability to sustain cost savings realized as part of our recent cost reduction
initiatives; our ability to achieve our strategy of growing our revenue; our history of net losses;
volatility in the price or availability of fuel; increases in new equipment prices or replacement
costs; our significant ongoing capital requirements; the regulatory environment in which we
operate, including existing regulations and changes in existing regulations, or violations by us of
existing or future regulations; the costs of environmental and safety compliance and/or the
imposition of liabilities under environmental and safety laws and regulations; difficulties in
driver recruitment and retention; increases in driver compensation to the extent not offset by
increases in freight rates; potential volatility or decrease in the amount of earnings as a result
of our claims exposure through our wholly-owned captive insurance companies; risks relating to our
captive insurance companies; uncertainties associated with our operations in Mexico; our ability to
attract and maintain relationships with owner-operators; the possible re-classification of our
owner operators as employees; our ability to retain or replace key personnel; conflicts of interest
or potential litigation that may arise from other businesses owned by Jerry Moyes; potential
failure in computer or communications systems; our labor relations; our ability to execute or
integrate any future acquisitions
successfully; seasonal factors such as harsh weather conditions that increase operating costs;
goodwill impairment; compliance with federal securities laws; and our ability to service our
outstanding indebtedness, including compliance with our indebtedness covenants, and the impact such
indebtedness may have on the way we operate our business.

ITEM 3: | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
We have interest rate exposure arising from our senior secured credit facility, senior secured
floating rate notes, 2011 RSA, and other financing agreements, which have variable interest rates.
These variable interest rates are impacted by changes in short-term interest rates, although the
volatility related to the first lien term loan is mitigated due a 1.50% LIBOR floor on our senior
secured credit facility. We manage interest rate exposure through a mix of variable rate debt,
fixed rate notes and lease financing, and $350 million notional amount of forward-starting interest
rate swaps (weighted average rate of 3.09% before applicable margin). There are no leverage
options or prepayment features for the interest rate swaps. Assuming the current level of
borrowings, a hypothetical one-percentage point increase in interest rates would increase our
annual interest payments by $1.9 million considering the effect of the LIBOR floor on the senior
secured credit facility and excluding the effect of the interest rate swaps which do not take
effect until January 2013.
We have commodity exposure primarily with respect to fuel used in company-owned tractors.
Further increases in fuel prices will continue to raise our operating costs, even after applying
fuel surcharge revenue. Historically, we have been able to recover a majority of fuel price
increases from our customers in the form of fuel surcharges. The weekly average diesel price per
gallon in the United States, as reported by the DOE, rose from an average of $2.94 per gallon for
the six months ended June 30, 2010 to an average of $3.81 per gallon for the six months ended June
30, 2011. We cannot predict the extent or speed of potential changes in fuel price levels in the
future, the degree to which the lag effect of our fuel surcharge programs will impact us as a
result of the timing and magnitude of such changes, or the extent to which effective fuel
surcharges can be maintained and collected to offset such increases. We generally have not used
derivative financial instruments to hedge our fuel price exposure in the past, but continue to
evaluate this possibility.
ITEM 4: | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as of the end of the period covered by this report,
we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined
under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) and determined that as of June 30, 2011,
our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be
disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms and that
such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined
in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June 30, 2011
that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control
over financial reporting.

PART II. | OTHER INFORMATION |
ITEM 1: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Additional information about our legal proceedings is included under Part I, Item 3, Legal
Proceedings, in our Annual Report on form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
We are involved in litigation and claims primarily arising in the normal course of business,
which include claims for personal injury or property damage incurred in the transportation of
freight. Our insurance program for liability, physical damage, and cargo damage involves
self-insurance with varying risk retention levels. Claims in excess of these risk retention levels
are covered by insurance in amounts that management considers to be adequate. We expense legal fees
as incurred and make a provision for the uninsured portion of contingent losses when it is both
probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.
Based on its knowledge of the facts and, in certain cases, advice of outside counsel, management
believes the resolution of claims and pending litigation, taking into account existing reserves,
will not have a material adverse effect on us. Moreover, the results of complex legal proceedings
are difficult to predict and the Companys view of these matters may change in the future as the
litigation and events related thereto unfold. In addition, we are involved in the following
litigation:
2004 owner-operator class action litigation
On January 30, 2004, a class action lawsuit was filed by Leonel Garza on behalf of himself and
all similarly situated persons against Swift Transportation: Garza vs. Swift Transportation Co.,
Inc., Case No. CV07-0472. The putative class originally involved certain owner-operators who
contracted with us under a 2001 Contractor Agreement that was in place for one year. The putative
class is alleging that we should have reimbursed owner-operators for actual miles driven rather
than the contracted and industry standard remuneration based upon dispatched miles. The trial court
denied plaintiffs petition for class certification, the plaintiff appealed and on August 6, 2008,
the Arizona Court of Appeals issued an unpublished Memorandum Decision reversing the trial courts
denial of class certification and remanding the case back to the trial court. On November 14, 2008,
we filed a petition for review to the Arizona Supreme Court regarding the issue of class
certification as a consequence of the denial of the Motion for Reconsideration by the Court of
Appeals. On March 17, 2009, the Arizona Supreme Court granted our petition for review, and on July
31, 2009, the Arizona Supreme Court vacated the decision of the Court of Appeals opining that the
Court of Appeals lacked automatic appellate jurisdiction to reverse the trial courts original
denial of class certification and remanded the matter back to the trial court for further
evaluation and determination. Thereafter, the plaintiff renewed the motion for class certification
and expanded it to include all persons who were employed by Swift as employee drivers or who
contracted with Swift as owner-operators on or after January 30, 1998, in each case who were
compensated by reference to miles driven. On November 4, 2010, the Maricopa County trial court
entered an order certifying a class of owner-operators and expanding the class to include
employees. We filed a petition for review to the Arizona Court of Appeals to dismiss class
certification, urging dismissal on several grounds including, but not limited to, the lack of an
employee class representative, and because the named owner-operator class representative only
contracted with us for a 3-month period under a one-year contract that no longer exists. We intend
to pursue all available appellate relief supported by the record, which we believe demonstrates
that the class is improperly certified and, further, that the claims raised have no merit or are
subject to mandatory arbitration. The Maricopa County trial courts decision pertains only to the
issue of class certification, and we retain all of our defenses against liability and damages. The
final disposition of this case and the impact of such final disposition cannot be determined at
this time.
Driving academy class action litigation
On March 11, 2009, a class action lawsuit was filed by Michael Ham, Jemonia Ham, Dennis Wolf,
and Francis Wolf on behalf of themselves and all similarly situated persons against Swift
Transportation: Michael Ham, JemoniaHam, Dennis Wolf and Francis Wolf v. Swift Transportation Co.,
Inc., Case No. 2:09-cv-02145-STA-dkv, or the Ham Complaint. The case was filed in the United States
District Court for the Western Section of Tennessee Western Division. The putative class involves
former students of our Tennessee driving academy who are seeking relief against us for the
suspension of their Commercial Driver Licenses, or CDLs, and any CDL retesting that may be required
of the former students by the relevant state department of motor vehicles. The allegations arise
from the Tennessee Department of Safety, or TDOS, having released a general statement questioning
the validity of CDLs issued by the State of Tennessee in connection with the Swift Driving Academy
located in the State of Tennessee. We have filed an answer to the Ham Complaint. We have also filed
a cross claim against the Commissioner of the TDOS, or the Commissioner, for a judicial declaration
and judgment that we did not engage in any wrongdoing as alleged in the complaint and a grant of
injunctive relief to compel the Commissioner to redact any statements or publications that allege
wrongdoing by us and to issue corrective statements to any recipients of any such publications. The
Commissioners motion to dismiss our cross claim has been dismissed by the court.

On or about April 23, 2009, two class action lawsuits were filed against us in New Jersey and
Pennsylvania, respectively: Michael Pascarella, et al. v.Swift Transportation Co., Inc., Sharon A.
Harrington, Chief Administrator of the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission, and David Mitchell,
Commissioner of the Tennessee Department of Safety, Case No. 09-1921(JBS), in the United States
District Court for the District of New Jersey, or the Pascarella Complaint; and Shawn McAlarnen et
al. v. Swift Transportation Co., Inc., Janet Dolan, Director of the Bureau of Driver Licensing of
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, and David Mitchell, Commissioner of the Tennessee
Department of Safety, Case No. 09-1737 (E.D. Pa.), in the United States District Court for the
Eastern District of Pennsylvania, or the McAlarnen Complaint. Both putative class action complaints
involve former students of our Tennessee driving academy who are seeking relief against us, the
TDOS, and the state motor vehicle agencies for the threatened suspension of their CDLs and any CDL
retesting that may be required of the former students by the relevant state department of motor
vehicles. The potential suspension and CDL re-testing was initiated by certain states in response
to the general statement by the TDOS questioning the validity of CDL licenses the State of
Tennessee issued in connection with the Swift Driving Academy located in Tennessee. The Pascarella
Complaint and the McAlarnen Complaint are both based upon substantially the same facts and
circumstances as alleged in the Ham Complaint. The only notable difference among the three
complaints is that both the Pascarella and McAlarnen Complaints name the local motor vehicles
agency and the TDOS as defendants, whereas the Ham Complaint does not. We deny the allegations of
any alleged wrongdoing and intend to vigorously defend our position. The McAlarnen Complaint has
been dismissed without prejudice because the McAlarnen plaintiff has elected to pursue the Director
of the Bureau of Driver Licensing of the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation for damages. We
have filed an answer to the Pascarella Complaint. We have also filed a cross-claim against the
Commissioner for a judicial declaration and judgment that we did not engage in any wrongdoing as
alleged in the complaint and a request for injunctive relief to compel the Commissioner to redact
any statements or publications that allege wrongdoing by us and to issue corrective statements to
any recipients of any such publications. The Commissioners motion to dismiss our cross claim has
been dismissed by the court.
On May 29, 2009, we were served with two additional class action complaints involving the same
alleged facts as set forth in the Ham Complaint and the Pascarella Complaint. The two matters are
Gerald L. Lott and Francisco Armenta on behalf of themselves and all others similarly situated v.
Swift Transportation Co., Inc. and David Mitchell the Commissioner of theTennessee Department of
Safety, Case No. 2:09-cv-02287, filed on May 7, 2009 in the United States District Court for the
Western District of Tennessee, or the Lott Complaint; and Marylene Broadnax on behalf of herself
and all others similarly situated v. Swift Transportation Corporation, Case No. 09-cv-6486-7, filed
on May 22, 2009 in the Superior Court of Dekalb County, State of Georgia, or the Broadnax
Complaint. While the Ham Complaint, the Pascarella Complaint, and the Lott Complaint all were filed
in federal district courts, the Broadnax Complaint was filed in state court. As with all of these
related complaints, we have filed an answer to the Lott Complaint and the Broadnax Complaint. We
have also filed a cross-claim against the Commissioner for a judicial declaration and judgment that
we did not engage in any wrongdoing as alleged in the complaint and a request for injunctive relief
to compel the Commissioner to redact any statements or publications that allege wrongdoing by us
and to issue corrective statements to any recipients of any such publications. The Commissioners
motion to dismiss our cross claim has been dismissed by the court. The portion of the Lott
complaint against the Commissioner has been dismissed as a result of a settlement agreement reached
between the approximately 138 Lott class members and the Commissioner granting the class members 90
days to retake the test for their CDL.
The Pascarella Complaint, the Lott Complaint, and the Broadnax Complaint are consolidated with
the Ham Complaint in the United States District Court for the Western District of Tennessee and
discovery is ongoing.
On July 1, 2011, the United States District Court for the Western District of Tennessee
Western division entered an order of court granting class certification of the consolidated
matters. We believe that the court committed reversible error in granting class certification and
on July 15, 2011 we filed a motion for reconsideration of the class certification determination.
We intend to vigorously contest class certification as well as the allegations made by the
plaintiffs should the class remain certified. Based on its knowledge of the facts and advice of
outside counsel, management does not believe the outcome of this litigation is likely to have a
material adverse effect on us; however, the final disposition of this case and the impact of such
final disposition cannot be determined at this time.
Owner-operator misclassification class action litigation
On December 22, 2009, a class action lawsuit was filed against Swift Transportation and IEL:
John Doe 1 and Joseph Sheer v. Swift Transportation Co., Inc., and Interstate Equipment Leasing,
Inc., Jerry Moyes, and Chad Killebrew, Case No. 09-CIV-10376 filed in the United States District
Court for the Southern District of New York, or the Sheer Complaint. The putative class involves
owner-operators alleging that Swift Transportation misclassified owner-operators as independent
contractors in violation of the federal Fair Labor Standards Act, or FLSA, and various New York
and California state laws and that such owner-operators should be considered employees. The lawsuit
also raises certain related issues with respect to the lease agreements that certain
owner-operators have entered into with IEL. At present, in addition to the named plaintiffs,
approximately 200 other current or former owner-operators
44
Table of Contents
have joined this lawsuit. Upon our motion, the matter has been
transferred from the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York to the
United States District Court in Arizona. On May 10, 2010, plaintiffs filed a motion to
conditionally certify an FLSA collective action and authorize notice to the potential class
members. On June 23, 2010, plaintiffs filed a motion for a preliminary injunction seeking to enjoin
Swift and IEL from collecting payments from plaintiffs who are in default under their lease
agreements and related relief. On September 30, 2010, the District Court granted Swifts motion to
compel arbitration and ordered that the class action be stayed pending the outcome of arbitration.
The court further denied plaintiffs motion for preliminary injunction and motion for conditional
class certification. The Court also denied plaintiffs request to arbitrate the matter as a class.
The plaintiff filed a petition for a writ of mandamus asking that the District Courts order be
vacated. On July 27, 2011, the court denied the plaintiffs petition for writ of mandamus. We
intend to vigorously defend against any arbitration proceedings. The final disposition of this case
and the impact of such final disposition cannot be determined at this time.
California employee class action
On March 22, 2010, a class action lawsuit was filed by John Burnell, individually and on
behalf of all other similarly situated persons against Swift Transportation: John Burnell and all
others similarly situated v. Swift Transportation Co., Inc., Case No. CIVDS 1004377 filed in the
Superior Court of the State of California, for the County of San Bernardino, or the Burnell
Complaint. On June 3, 2010, upon motion by Swift, the matter was removed to the United States
District Court for the central District of California, Case No. EDCV10-00809-VAP. The putative
class includes drivers who worked for us during the four years preceding the date of filing
alleging that we failed to pay the California minimum wage, failed to provide proper meal and rest
periods, and failed to timely pay wages upon separation from employment. The Burnell Complaint is
currently subject to a stay of proceedings pending determination of similar issues in a case
unrelated to Swift, Brinker v Hohnbaum, which is currently pending before the California Supreme
Court. We intend to vigorously defend certification of the class as well as the merits of these
matters should the class be certified. The final disposition of this case and the impact of such
final disposition of this case cannot be determined at this time.
Environmental notice
On April 17, 2009, we received a notice from the Lower Willamette Group, or LWG, advising that
there are a total of 250 potentially responsible parties, or PRPs, with respect to alleged
environmental contamination of the Lower Willamette River in Portland, Oregon designated as the
Portland Harbor Superfund site, or the Site, and that as a previous landowner at the Site we have
been asked to join a group of 60 PRPs and proportionately contribute to (i) reimbursement of funds
expended by LWG to investigate environmental contamination at the Site and (ii) remediation costs
of the same, rather than be exposed to potential litigation. Although we do not believe we
contributed any contaminants to the Site, we were at one time the owner of property at the Site and
the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act imposes a standard of
strict liability on property owners with respect to environmental claims. Notwithstanding this
standard of strict liability, we believe our potential proportionate exposure to be minimal and not
material. No formal complaint has been filed in this matter. Our pollution liability insurer has
been notified of this potential claim. We do not believe the outcome of this matter is likely to
have a material adverse effect on us. However, the final disposition of this matter and the impact
of such final disposition cannot be determined at this time.
California owner-operator and employee driver class action
On July 1, 2010, a class action lawsuit was filed by Michael Sanders against Swift
Transportation and IEL: Michael Sanders individually and on behalf of others similarly situated v.
Swift Transportation Co., Inc. and Interstate Equipment Leasing, Case No. 10523440 in the Superior
Court of California, County of Alameda, or the Sanders Complaint. The putative class involves both
owner-operators and driver employees alleging differing claims against Swift and IEL. Many of the
claims alleged by both the putative class of owner-operators and the putative class of employee
drivers overlap the same claims as alleged in the Sheer Complaint with respect to owner-operators
and the Burnell Complaint as it relates to employee drivers. As alleged in the Sheer Complaint, the
putative class includes owner-operators of Swift during the four years preceding the date of filing
alleging that Swift misclassified owner-operators as independent contractors in violation of FLSA
and various California state laws and that such owner-operators should be considered employees. As
also alleged in the Sheer Complaint, the owner-operator portion of the Sanders Complaint also
raises certain related issues with respect to the lease agreements that certain owner-operators
have entered into with IEL. As alleged in the Burnell Complaint, the putative class in the Sanders
Complaint includes drivers who worked for us during the four years preceding the date of filing
alleging that we failed to provide proper meal and rest periods, failed to provide accurate wage
statement upon separation from employment, and failed to timely pay wages upon separation from
employment. The Sanders Complaint also raises two issues with respect to the owner-operators and
two issues with respect to drivers that were not also alleged as part of either the Sheer Complaint
or the Burnell Complaint. These separate owner-operator claims allege that Swift failed to provide
accurate wage statements and failed to properly compensate for waiting times. The separate employee
driver claims allege that Swift failed to reimburse business expenses and coerced driver employees
to patronize the employer. The Sanders Complaint seeks to create two classes, one which is mostly
(but not entirely) encompassed by the Sheer Complaint and another which is mostly (but not
entirely) encompassed by the Burnell Complaint. Upon our motion, the Sanders Complaint has been
transferred from the Superior Court of California for the County of Alameda to the United States
District Court for the Northern District of California. The Sanders matter is currently subject to
a stay of proceedings pending determinations in other unrelated appellate cases that seek to
address similar issues. The issue of class certification must first be resolved before the court
will address the merits of the case, and we retain all of
our defenses against liability and damages pending a determination of class certification. We
intend to vigorously defend against certification of the class as well as the merits of this matter
should the class be certified. The final disposition of this case and the impact of such final
disposition cannot be determined at this time.

California and Oregon Minimum Wage Class Action
On July 12, 2011, a class action lawsuit was filed by Simona Montalvo on behalf of herself and
all similarly situated persons against Swift Transportation: Montalvo et al. v. Swift
Transportation Corporation d/b/a ST Swift Transportation Corporation in the Superior Court of
California, County of San Diego. On July 22, 2011 a class action lawsuits was filed by Glen
Ridderbush on behalf of himself and all similarly situated persons against Swift Transportation:
Ridderbush et al. v. Swift Transportation Co. of Arizona LLC and Swift Transportation Services, LLC
in the Circuit Court for the State of Oregon, Multnomah County. Both putative classes include
employees alleging that candidates for employment were not paid minimum wage during their
orientation phase.
The issue of class certification must first be resolved before the court will address the
merits of the case, and we retain all of our defenses against liability and damages pending a
determination of class certification. We intend to vigorously defend against certification of the
class as well as the merits of this matter should the class be certified. The final disposition of
this case and the impact of such final disposition cannot be determined at this time.
