    How about the ones you just can't figure out how they got in the truck....let alone if the springs/shocks survived when they climbed out?!:biggrin_25521:

    It would be even more illegal to drive beyond my 11 and 14 to try and part elseware. If you've been to that TA then you know why i parked there.

    RV's???????????:biggrin_2554: Perhaps they should stop at Walmart to park were THEY are welcome or a KOA, or anywhere since they are selfcontained, and NOT take our spots in a TS since we cannont park in MOST walmarts....

    its not a blind back if the spot is at an angle, that T/A is nothing but angled parking. Rather than ragging on a Swift (that did nothing wrong) why don't you learn how to back up a truck

    I know I am not a professional driver but I am told it is always the drivers fault. Now this has nothing to do with it being Swift. You are to look at your mirrors every few seconds. So if he was doing this why did he not slow down when he say the person tailgating him. I do that when I drive my car. So they can go around me and not put my life in danger.

    Hey once I was running down the hiway at a whopping 62 and had a small suv behind me I was watching then all of the sudden he was gone! I keep going and a Highway patrolman goes by flips a u turn and turns his lights on! I'm like what did I do? he walks up says do you see that car behind you " nope" I didn't think so

    He tells me to leave! I get out and walk back this guy is a foot off my trailer and that cop is letting him have it.

    You get x-ray glasses too? My dispatcher is going to get an earful in the morning.
