    There are thousands of these. As it starts to become winter, I guess mine will be "No load is worth your life."

    Always keep in mind it’s a great idea to do a post trip inspection. At least just a simple walk around to check lights and tires.

    This is a Swift truck just sitting idling all day with the windshield curtain drawn. Shop 100 yards away and probably closed at night.

    Something tells me that they won’t even do a pre-trip walk around..

    The driver didn't notice it when it was picked up, or when they banged a curb that hard, or in the post trip.
    Ignorance is bliss I guess.

    I can agree with most of that.
    But I was a Swifty that you didn't need to look out for.

    I have seen many more questionable Amazon drivers than Swift drivers. Probably those super tight schedules.
    I turned down SO many Amazon loads because they expect the driver to have a flux capacitor and a downhill stretch where they can reach 88 mph.
