    It's just such a joke. The US taxpayer gets fleeced. The US citizen is at risk from one of these clowns. Somebody hands these unqualified clowns a set of keys, and assigns them a truck. Somebody needs to be held accountable for criminal negligence. When you put making money in front of the publics safety, that's negligence. Maybe fraud, I'm no lawyer, but I know what's right and wrong.
    And all the people that say, " It's just the way it goes", won't say that when one of these jugheads impacts
    ( literally ) their lives.

    Money is the way it goes. If you think that safety is ever first, you are highly mistaken. Money will literally be the end of us all.

    And to think, these rich ### clowns are so ungodly full of money, but when they die it stays here.

    It's pointless.

    That probably explains all the skid marks 5 miles before stop signs and red lights ;)

    With all due (dis)respect to Swift ----KEEP YOUR BLANKETY-BLANK TRUCKS OUT OF THE COLORADO RIVER!
    OK, I feel better now.
    But Dave, I still disagree with Swift becoming the topic of an accident thread that had absolutely nothing to do with them.

    Off I70 east of Grand Jct. (If memory serves, without me going back and re-reading the story.)

    I thought those studies were left to the Crash and Roll Stunt Team.:p
    There may have been some skidmarks back there, but I just don't believe they can tie them into this truck, unless he was flatly dragging at least one set of wheels. I'm guessing this is another one of the media screwing up...

    This is the thought I've been trying to get through to Dave. As intelligent as he obviously is, he can't seem to get his mind around this reality.
     
    Dave_in_AZ and Blackshack46 Thank this.

    All swift had to do is detour further south, the Colorado is dry and sandy when it's not raining.

    As far as the two mile skidmark... I have a problem with that. Just need to think on that carefully before shooting off my big mouth.
