    I witnessed the most Swift thing ever.

    Headed north on the 5 towards the Castaic/Valencia scale house there was a swifty running bobtail. He couldn’t decide on the speed. Some old dog in a Pete pulling a reefer is yelling at him on the CB. Of course the Swift driver doesn’t have a CB. As we approach the scale house Swifty is two lanes in the wrong direction. He then realizes his mistake and cuts back towards the entrance and hits the Pete. I’m back a 100 yards or so and see all this stuff in the road. I call out and said “did Swift just hit you?”

    “Yup, got it on camera”

    It takes a special kind of stupid to hit someone on the entrance into a scale house.

    No Tarp monkeys were injured or involved in this incident.

    Well we just booked a reload out of the stink state headed to the communist state. Love the cross country runs especially when i can get in and out of the east coast and not have to stick around for 2 weeks
