As a diversified transportation company, Swift Transportation can haul a variety of goods and commodities using its semi-trucks. Here are a few examples of what Swift semi trucks commonly haul:
1. Dry Van Goods: Swift's semi-trucks often transport dry van goods, which include non-perishable items that do not require temperature-controlled environments. Dry van freight can consist of general merchandise, electronics, furniture, clothing, household appliances, and many other types of consumer products.
2. Refrigerated and Frozen Goods: Swift also operates refrigerated and temperature-controlled semi-trucks to transport perishable items that require specific temperature conditions. These trucks ensure that products such as fresh produce, dairy products, meat, seafood, and frozen goods are transported safely and remain in optimal condition during transit.
3. Construction Materials: Swift's semi-trucks are used to haul various construction materials, including cement, steel beams, bricks, lumber, and other building materials. These materials are transported to construction sites, warehouses, or retail locations as part of the supply chain for the building industry.
4. Bulk Liquids and Chemicals: Swift also provides transportation services for bulk liquids and chemicals. Its semi-trucks are equipped with specialized tanks to safely transport hazardous or non-hazardous liquids, such as gasoline, diesel, solvents, and chemicals used in manufacturing and industrial processes.
5. Flatbed and Oversize Loads: Swift's flatbed semi-trucks are designed to haul oversized or unique-shaped loads that cannot be accommodated in enclosed trailers. These loads can include construction equipment, machinery, wind turbine components, large structures, boats, and other specialized cargo.
6. Automobile Transport: Swift operates semi-trucks equipped with auto racks to transport new vehicles, such as cars, trucks, and SUVs. These vehicles are transported from manufacturing plants to dealerships or distribution centers across the country.
It's important to note that Swift Transportation does not own all of the products it hauls. The company primarily provides the transportation services and equipment, while the actual goods being transported belong to various shippers or customers.
