    And incase anyone is wondering if he was just trying to back into another spot because you can see his trailer lights on....no. He was like that when I got there. I went in, grabbed a shower and came back out and THAT'S when I took the picture. He'd been there a good while and I ended up leaving and he was still there.

    Maybe you should sent the pic to Swift safety.

    But I am curious to know why, if he had been there that long, his brake lights are on?

    Put a brick on the brake pedal so it would idle??? Or the dog laying on the brake pedal?

    could have been a bad brake light switch?

    I don't want to defend Swift but once I had urgent call from stomach and my ### to use a restroom, like NOW, I parked just liked him cause simply if I would waste another 2 minutes on backing I would **** myself....

    He was sitting in the drivers seat. Probably had his foot on the brake.

    I think he was indeed intending to back into another space in the next isle. I think he was a mechanical engineer by trade & was in the truck with a drafting board & a slide rule figuring out his angles & getting a plan together before making that backing move.
