Swift Transportation Co's Comment on Sales, Marketing and Customers
Our customers are typically large corporations in the retail (including discount
and online retail), food and beverage, consumer products, paper products, transportation
and logistics, housing and building, automotive, and manufacturing industries.
Many of our customers have extensive operations, geographically distributed locations,
and diverse shipping needs. Customer satisfaction is an important priority for
us, which is demonstrated by the numerous “carrier of the year” or
similar awards received from our customers over the past several years. Such achievements
have helped us maintain a large and stable customer base featuring Fortune 500
and other leading companies from a number of different industries. Consistent
with industry practice, our typical customer contracts (other than dedicated contracts)
do not guarantee shipment volumes by our customers or truck availability by us.
This affords us and our customers some flexibility to negotiate rates in response
to changes in freight demand and industry-wide truck capacity. We believe our
fleet capacity, terminal network, customer service and breadth of services offer
a competitive advantage to major shippers, particularly in times of rising freight
volumes when shippers must quickly access capacity across multiple facilities
and regions. Largest customer (Wal-Mart).
