Swift- How long without a wreck?>

Safety Measurement System - Overview (U.S. DOT# 54283)

2260 reportable for the past 24 months works out to averaging about 3 reportable per day.......

 

...divided by how many trucks?

 

Its on the SMS page......

• Number of Vehicles: 17,814
• Number of Drivers: 21,613

 

National carriers also have regional fleets and have to compete and keep up with maximum capacity requirements of shippers.

 

tri axle tractors and quad trailers are not uncommon up here.......

 

So it works out to a 0.017% chance that any given Swift driver will have a reportable incident on any given day.

 

I suppose it makes it easier for their drivers whom cant be bothered with adjusting their tandems.

 

Those are regional Swift heavy haul fleet out of Sumner Washington

 

You must not have heard of frost laws.

 

There's plenty of loads in the Swift system that you drop at a terminal for another driver to take the rest of the way. You can't drop that trailer without a legal CAT scale ticket, so yes Johnny you learn quick how to slide your tandems and fifth wheel.
