    Yea because companies aren't doing it. They put anyone behind the wheel.

    It won't fix anything, the big guys will get an exemption of some sort. It's not like there's going to be another arm of the fmcsa or DMV just teaching people how to drive trucks.

    Full Swift ahead!!!
    Chances are those drivers are from an area where chaining is very rare (southern states). Still,I wouldn’t want the repair bill(or replacement) for that Dodge Charger police interceptor.

    I cant even begin to count all the times over my 30 years if driving Ive had to teach drivers on the side if the road how to chain up. And i can guarantee you the vast majority were nit Swift. So maybe you might want to bash others too. And if you you dont get out and teach you need to keep comments to yourself. Help solve the problems.

    Actually I do,it’s a matter of if the person(s) are WILLING TO LEARN!
    In addition, the criticism of the driver(s) is deserved because they didn’t recognize that emergency personnel were already responding to TWO PRIOR SEMI TRUCK ACCIDENTS when they skeeballed into that police cruiser.
    They were driving too fast for the conditions,especially at an accident scene.
    You don’t have to take my word for it-the police cruiser dash cam says it all.

    No one can hide from Swift even if you live on a dead-end road.

    Funny you should mention that,there’s a sign just like that only it has “Swift”printed in their blue lettering. It’s located at the intersection of Harrel St. and Wineville Ave in Jurupa Valley,CA about a mile west of the Marten terminal!lol

    You know it’s bad when a “No Trucks” sign targets a specific company by name...
