    I thought Swift was not allowed to have CB's because they dont go fast enough to worry about the cops.

    A/T you said it was a three vehicle accident, you mean two vehicle accident and one break down.. by saying it was a three vehicle accident then that means the van got touch by something other then the pavement.

    She is......you dont wanna tangle with her. Also, of all the lost time I experienced, Swift hasn't been the cause of any of it.

    Yes, I am a driver. We were not talking about Swift in general here. Well, I mean most of us weren't. I'm not saying Swift has all perfect drivers. Far from it. The majority of Swifties are relatively new to driving and will make mistakes. We all did when first starting out. You are allowed whatever opinion you think will make you friends. To that, you are entitled.

    I am entitled to defend any person or entity I deem worthy of my defense. If that, in your opinion makes me less of a person, well, that's not my problem. Fact is, there are many, many quality drivers who came out of Swift training and moved on, or who remain with Swift because their safety rating is still top notch. Swift will not retain drivers who habitually involve themselves in crashes, get tickets and can't keep a reasonable log.

    You choose to read a large, five-letter, single-sylable word on the side of a trailer and pass a blanket judgment on the person pulling that wagon, despite your every-day contact with drivers of similar wagons who you do not notice because they are doing nothing wrong.

    If all you look for is fault in any person or entity, fault is all you will ever find.

    As I read this I'm watching a Swift truck trying to back into a spot for the last 45 minutes. I'll give one thing to this driver, at least he's patient. I would have given up after the 10th pull-up. :biggrin_2559:
