Found this today on another site, and can not believe it. This Swift truck was caught on bank cameras trying to turn around. Watch the rear of his trailer go airborne. Then at the end of the video, see what other boneheaded move he does. He does not appear personally. http://www.wfmz.com/news/news-regio...ship/-/121418/17006460/-/fd4rf4z/-/index.html
Geez!!!!!!! You have to wonder what the heck was going through this guys head. It scares the crap out of me passing these training companys thinking what kinda stupid move are they gonna make just let me get by!!!!
Again, sorry, I just saw it today. I doubt that many of us Swift drivers go look in the accident section here.
well i didnt see it before...gotta wonder what the heck the guy was thinking...not only does he choose to turn around in a place CLEARLY not "truck friendly", but doesnt even take it slow. ive found myself plenty of times going the wrong way, or missing a turn...something that causes me to look for a place to turn around. but a small bank parking lot?!?!?! id have driven 6 miles further down the road rather than choose that as a place to turn around. and the place id chosen woulda caught ME on camera doing it at 2 or 3 mph max. no load is worth that kind of speed in ANY parking lot, never mind one as small and unforgiving as that one.
Seriously, how in the heck did that driver not know he was going to wipe the awning and the stop sign out? I thought swift drivrrs spend 6 weeks with a mentor before going solo?
thank god noone was hurt. some people get in such a hurry and don't think and then panic when stuff goes wrong. i'll pretty much guarantee that the driver won't do that again.
