    I don't think I've ever laughed so hard at a thread. Even went in to the office to show those guys. Swift did NOTHING wrong, and I'll leave it at that to not get deleted or banned.


    I'm sorry for laughing, and probably wouldn't have if you didn't blame this on Swift

    Be a man and take the blame. It is your fault. Grow a pair and stop relying on "gps" it's call a map book, your eyes and common sense.

    Things like this should go on the drivers record.I mean good grief don't they even pay attention to their surroundings just focus on whatever there GPS tells them where to go.dont be surprised if swift charges you for thewrecker that got u out.

    did you do any damage to the truck when you tried to turn around? This may happen again next time look to see if the area is wide enough to turn around if not then back out of it and onto the street .

    Why did you let the people from SWIFT run up, jump up into your truck, make the wrong turn, and then stupidly jackknife your truck? Where were you when all this was going on?

    So the right decision for this driver would have been to back up slow and very carefully right?

    Qualcomm nav is a disaster waiting to happen if you think the job is as simple as following it step by step...


    This should have been covered extensively during your training??

    Did you not go Otr?

    Google maps satellite view?
    Wtf man its 2015?

    Have you considered the post office application?

    what would u have done?I dont know what the area looked like but it sounds like he could have backed. out of it.then once back onto the street you're going to have to back left or right but at least there's room.
