    NO! NO! NO!
    Not if the Swifties were minority drivers. That story would be how minorities are sent out into dangerous situations under-trained and ill-prepared by big evil "under regulated" corporations owned and operated by rich white men. Get it right, they don't have a story without a minority victim. Just ask Whoopi.
    HANDS UP, DON'T DRIVE!!!!

    Stirring the pot!

    The real question is how many of our federal tax dollars were given to Swift through "Vocational Rehabilitation Grants, ""Every Idiot Deserves a Job" grants, etc., etc., to put these people behind the wheel?

    I think the article meant the driver himself spilled his coffee. He just wanted to wash his floorboards.

    You watch, that load is either completely destroyed by breaking, or it was the best pallet wrapping job the shipper ever has done. That would really be something if there was minimal damage to the load. Ya know, as it was inches from being completely destroyed.

    Which brings me to another thought.

    With all these swift wrecks, do you think they may be just testing the equipment to see what it'll take.

    Why else would you let all this BS happen. Unless it's purely for a crash study. Haha

    Therefore, all Swift drivers are dummies, for crash test purposes???

    It would make perfect sense.

    It's just a theory though.

    "They also discovered skid marks from the truck starting two miles from where the crash occurred."

    WTF?????
