Swift ordered to pay owner-operator $2.6 million after trailer squashed his foot

Maybe if the driver wasn't wearing flip flops and his foot wasn't in front of the tire. Ya think ?

 

I could not agree with Mystic more on this. I seen this so many times a Swift it might as well have been company policy. At one time Swift even sent out a safety message describing how 'to move tandems with a assistant.' In the old days of Swift you would be woken up several times a knight by the qualcom beeping asking you to read such a stupid message.

I cannot have any sympathy for the driver or Swift. If Swift spent the minimum of maintenance on their trailers there would be no need for this to happen.

 

I was talking about reading the transcript from the McDonald's coffee lawsuit.
Read the actual transcript from the hearing. It wasn't that ridiculous after all.

 

If I remember right the coffee was an amazing 230+ degrees or something insane like that.
Considering coffee shops serve their fancy roasts at 180 degrees only when ordered as "extra" hot the extreme temperature was considered undue risk.
