The investigation by a law firm concerns whether certain Swift Transportation directors breached their fiduciary duties and caused damage to the company and its shareholders.

On January 26, 2016, after spending $100 million on share repurchases in November 2015 and January 2016, Swift Transportation's CEO, Jerry Moyes, announced that he wanted Swift Transportation to spend $200 million buying back shares.
