    Her father also owns Swift trucking. So every truck you see on the road with a big “Swift” on it? His company.

    Way higher than just upper middle

      Hum, that is not what wikipedia says:

      Carl Moyes was a truck driver hauling produce for C.R. England in the 1940s out of northern Utah.[4] In the late 1950s Betty and Carl Moyes started a small trucking company in Plain City, Utah, B & C Truck Leasing. After their son, Jerry, graduated from Weber State University in 1966, they moved the small company to Phoenix, Arizona. Carl and his two sons, Ronald and Jerry (vice-president), formed the company Common Market in Arizona, that would become Swift.

        Yep, you’re right. I was lied to by a friend.

        I think I need to stop trusting them with factual tidbits.
