    In Fountain CO yesterday (2/22) afternoon at the Tomahawk truck stop. Or at least suicide is the report.



    I guess its just one more bad thing to chalk up to Swift. They must have drove the poor guy over the edge.


    Story is that it was very gory. He must have used a shot gun.

    That's horrible! The poor guy's family. And the poor guy who has to drive that truck next.

    From what I understand by the extent of the body fluid spray that truck will truly never be the same.

    More than likely either junked out right, or they'll do a cab off and junk the cab. Cleaning will never get all the blood etc out of every nook and cranny in a vehicle.

    Cleaning the blood is one thing, but any blood left behind has a smell.
    Also, blood is considered a biohazard. Truck cab probably will be junked.

    Swift has to have ONE good truck around with a blown motor they can cannibalize for this one. SURELY
    I know most of their damage is to the cab/body.

    I hate to read things like this. If your having a bad time out there. Leave the keys in the truck and walk away. No company or job is worth taking your own life.

    Same thing I say about these losers that go to a mall or church or school and kill a bunch of folks before killing themselves.

    If your life sucks that bad just go out behind the barn and quietly do what you feel needs to be done. It is not necessary to take all those other folks with you. If you thought no body liked you in life, they for #### sure will not like you in death for killing their mom,sister,brother,kid, or dad!

    That's sad...Swift COULD drive anyone to the same thing. Sheesh, I would rather FIGHT them than kill myself...sorry for his family. Wish he would've come here for a support group before doing that...
