    If you're too simple to be able to figure out the mechanics of a tooth brush.... I'd be disinclined to put you in charge of an 80k+ vehicle.... How you care for yourself indicates how you care for most other things.... Just the vibe I caught from that guy. Shady from the first flap of the gum.

    Edit: No offense to the good drivers with bad teeth. Sometimes some #### happens and you lose a few. But laziness isn't 'some #### happening', that's you doing nothing.

    Yeah but they still have the forward facing camera and telling you how to drive. I just got into trouble, because I didn't increase my following distance quickly, after a car went ca 10 feet in front of me.

    I've run across a swift driver at a customer in Perrysburg oh...he couldn't back up to save his life..my self and 2 other drivers tried to help him...he blew us off..he nearly took out a telephone pole and went up on a short wall...this is why they get the reputation....if they hire folks who won't listen and think they know it all..this is what happens..

    I watched a young black driver, alone in a US Express truck practice blind side backing for a couple of hours this afternoon, he had 2 big red cones at the front of the parking spot,
    Only one other truck around that he could have hit with his front end.
    He was pretty good at getting the trailer between the cones without getting out to look.
    It was a good day

    This happened at a flying j around here. I just wanted to go in and get some food and the lot was small so anyone backing into a spot would hold up traffic. While this swift driver was trying for 5 minutes to get in a spot. Not even blind side. The radio was going NUTS, at least 15 trucks were waiting to get in and the line was to the highway. Finally he just hauled ### out of there and never parked.
