Answers for the swift drivers..not recruitment

Ok, so as everyone else knows it speed is essentially what swift is not known for. But for the times that you would need to slow down, SLOW DOWN this isnt a race and no load is worth speeding over.
now the majority of our fleet is...newer than most others so its understandable if you cant get it into a parking space or dock on the first go around. So get out and look or ask for help. Theres no shame in asking for help. You aint got nothing to prove un less you wanna be known for smashing drivers front bumpers in.
next is something that is known as common courtesy. No swift driver that i know of or seen has shown this. I.E. Youre passing someone who is maybe a half mile slower than you...so instead of hogging the road for 10 miles, slow down behind him until he either gets off at an exit or slows enough to let you pass. Reach out to the driver via CB radio and ask if he can slow a bit to let you pass. Again theres no rush because no load is worth your life or a fine.
pre-trip...big time. Always pay attention to your truck. Does it pull a bit to the left or right while driving, does it feel a bit squirly in the tail end etc etc. check everything. I see a lot of drivers that just sit in their trucks doing their "pre-trip". Its bs is what it is.

get out and look.

use common sense and common courtesy.

slow down.

and above all, get off your high horse because you dont own the road. Youre the same as everyone else. Same eighteen wheels same thirteen (or eight) gears same capacity of weight as everyone else. Youre not special.

and above all else...GET OUT AND LOOK!!!

anyone have anything else to add please feel free

 

Oh really? I didnt know

 

Say what you want, my credibility is what you make of it, however my want and desire to share information should show that i do care to some degree. Did i leave some things out? Why yes obviously i did because i had hoped that other drivers would share an experience or two to help other swift drivers ( or possibly other drivers from other companies) to have information like this that not all mentors share with their students...yes i am still regarded as a new driver but it doesnt change the fact that at least im trying to do something about the way some drivers act on the road. Like everytime a preventable accident happens or a service failure all the down to the nitty gritty of customer service from is drivers. So instead of being a criticist saying that i have no credibilty, why dont you just help out with what i and apparently another swift driver is trying to accomplish.
