    3 months experience is all it takes to get a shiny swift truck and 80,000 lbs of liability !

    Desperate times calls for desperate measures with swift.

    Passed two swifties on I-70 tonight in the dark about 4ft seperating them. All it would of taken is a deer popping out of the fields and smoosh.

    Isn't that how they do it in NASCAR on restrictor plate tracks? Maybe they haven't been taught the proper bump drafting techniques yet.
