    sorry to say but still looking for some other company driver on youtube with same problem but cant find one so far .

    update i find another one :

    This Swift truck was being driven by a trainee with his trainer next to him who told him to go down the last isle and make the U-Turn to the right where the sign says "NO RIGHT TURN" This is what happens.

    You need to study the sign better. It is in a truck parking lot and the sign doe not say "no right turn", it is a "P" with a slash.

    I thought it was illegal on this board to make slam posts?

    That's why there a sign on the back of most trailers reading "Warning: This vehicle makes wide turns". There was plenty of room in all three videos to swing out and avoid everyone of these issues. I would rather swing out 20ft to far than 1ft to less.

    My cousin who has been driving since the early 80's told me this one day when I was a little boy riding with him. "Use all the space you want when backing or turning because one day it won't be there and you sure wish it was"

    Oh BTW, the guys in the first video sound like morons. By the music they were playing in the car I wouldn't be surprised if they weren't on there way to a rainbow rally.

    was not my intention to bash or slam on no one that why i add a different company video .

    if you read in my first post i say was not to make fun of them it just was something i afraid would happen to me.
    why because is one of the things i need to work more and by posting this some people will say how they avoid this type of problems .

    I don't think i better driver than them or worse .

    We are all human and we all have done some interesting driving mistakes.

    Mine when driving for CR England, an abandoned Walmart. I had to turn around, hung a right and pulled the tandems across a snow pile. Trainer said I broke an air bag, so he hands me a stick and tells me to go start prodding. I get to the back of the trailer and there is a fire hydrant laying on the ground nearby. On closer inspection where the hydrant broke is heavy rust. Trainer tells me to plop it back into its hole and not worry about it. Something about "if the police are not here, its a non reportable accident" (as in dont tell company either?).

    2 weeks later when I was on the way out the door with them, I pointed it out what had happened. I still wonder as if that is why after 2 weeks beyond leaving they were willing to put me back on a truck.

    I don't care what anyone says but all three of these are just terrible drivers. Especially the last one....driving up on the rocks. WTF?? is up with that. That's a moron to do something like that.

    Granted, everyone makes mistakes but these mistakes...especially the last one....is unforgivable. That's just down right stupid. That driver/trainer/whoever, has no business in the seat of a truck.
