    omg okay that's enough. There's some laughs in there[/QUOTE]

    Dude glad you got your 4 gd chuckles but this is serious. So let me put a camera in your truck or take your lolerskates to the bank and put em in a vault before I use them to ride across your neck.
     
    freightwipper Thanks this.

    lolerskates? that was a good one! :biggrin_25514:
    I think you could use a pair of them! :biggrin_255:


    chill man I know this is serious. Can't be serious all the time though.
    When I was at Crete they tried this whole camera thing and sooo many drivers were quitting left and right that they calmed down on that.
    Supposedly ALL trainers trucks are required to have cameras in them at Crete now. Friend of mine use to train but not anymore after that.

    I find the video of the driver trying to close the hood totally disgusting. The driver filming the video is nothing but a complete #######. It's either a team or a trainer/trainee filming, laughing, and ridiculing the guy. Then they admit on the video that they are also Swift drivers and comment that they can't believe the guy didn't see them and come ask for help. Really? Put the stupid camera down and get off your lazy ##### and go offer some help.

    Yeah the people recording were rude.
    Drivers should know better though. I mean it's one thing to make a mistake or have a difficult time... I've helped drivers myself through difficult situations .
    Although if you're being ridiculous you're pretty much asking for it.
    If you ever see me jumping on my hood or doing a blindside 45 degree angle backup crashing into trailers around me when I could easily pull up.. I wouldn't mind being recorded because I deserve it for being a crazy dumb***

    Do you think you can post four video's of your mistakes just 4 comparisons sake. I do not care what happened at crete you strolled in here just playing the blame game throwing out how bad swift is when you have no right to do so. However you are 100% right. I can't be serious all the time but this is not a youtube crash complation. So Unless your volunteering for a camera in your truck just to prove yourself... you have no place in the thread.

    Dude it was somewhat of a joke but also hinting at a reality.. a reality you yourself spoke of:

    You were just throwing your own company under the bus saying how bad they are and saying "I'm correct".
    We're on the same page here, in fact I think you're pretty intelligent and aware unlike a lot of drivers out there.
    I was just sharing my Crete experience because it was relevant on the topic of cameras.
    In no way am I a perfect driver, I've made mistakes just like everybody else here. Some things are inexcusable though, like being sideways backing up in front of toll booths.

    Ok so if i have gone the wrong direction on this it would not be the first time a swifty went the wrong way and Yes i am more then happy to throw my company under the bus because there aiming one at me and I do not mean to offed BUT i have not been able to detect your sarcasm, If your read into more of the swift section of this forum you might notice its something we deal with a lot. Sorry if i was overly aggressive towards you But Driver rights are a big deal to me.

    I said this before and I'll say it again, the only ones with the problem with this is the ones that do things they shouldn't, like text and drive, for the one claiming invasion of privacy, your at work while driving, companies have a right to over see their business, on down time? Close your curtains, privacy handled
