    What he meant when he said pay attention to traffic is you should have noticed Swift was on the shoulder and should have immediately put your left blinker on. Always best policy to assume the worst when dealing with those trucks. Just like how you never get behind them on the fuel island, because they are always there for 30+ minutes. Best policy is get in a different lane, even if more trucks. Same thing..

    Think of them like Moose. Slow, and very unpredictable.

    Calm down man, I was joking. I’m not even a swift driver, I drive a dump truck. Don’t you understand exaggeration?

    That sucker pissed me off. Especially since the guy in front of me slammed the breaks and then swerved to the left lane I had to do the same. Guy in front me and guy behind all held our air horns when we passed him.
