All those against speeding tickets, raise your right foot.

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.Trucker61016, 77fib77, TheLoadOut and 3 others Thank this. -
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.Speed_Drums, Trucker61016, TheLoadOut and 2 others Thank this.
