Had an altercation with a Swift driver

Trainees, let em go.they will either learn from their mistakes or die ffrom their mistakes. I havent got the finger in a long time, but then again,I cruise down the road.

 

And they don't realize how squirrely a bobtail is either it sounds like. Too many idiots looking to bolster their image.

 

Is that it?
Did you get the truck number and report it to Swift?

If not, there is nothing more to be done.

FYI, there should never be more than 2 in any Swift truck.
No Swift driver should drive like that. And if reported they would be in big trouble, and maybe out of a job.

 

They'll find that out on the 1st wet road that they find themselves bob-tailing on....360's are not your friend!

 

real easy these days to get fired even just defending yourself

 

I was on a catscale just a little while ago. Door open waiting on the lady to say "first weigh or re-weigh". darn swifty pulls up behind me and starts honking his horn for me to hurry up. I don't know what he expected. Maybe I should have screamed at the attendant and pounded on the little yellow button a few times? So I just had to pull away a little slower than I needed to. And he continued honking as he pulled onto the scale before I was even half off of it. Jeesh....what a deal.

 

i had a few clear retaliatory scenarios directed at me,

at speed on the road over something i did and someone else didn't like,

including truckers,

ended up in a few face to faces over the years also,

recent shouting mach ended up in suspensions for both ...we never even got outa our cabs

 

It's a shame what the beloved trucking industry has come to. Anyone with half a pulse can get behind the wheel of a 80k machine. In some respects I'm glad I do Linehaul at night and dont have to deal with those ########.

 

I saw something like this happen in the Petro Parking lot in Beaumont... The offender asked the offendee wanna do something about it.. He grab his tire knocker and whipped his rearend with it... Both sides were wrong.. You did the right thing..

 

sorry to hear that packrat. wish some of my fellow swifties would keep their noses clean
