    This theory starts making sense. He was trying to chase down the offending Kia.

    Earlier someone mentioned that the driver was most likely an owner/lease operator. That is most likely true. Company trucks are white. MOST trucks of another color are almost always lease or owner trucks. Sometimes Swift will assign one of those ex-lease trucks to a company driver, if no pearly white trucks are available.

    The person taking the video mentioned that the driver just came out of a parking lot. The way she said it the driver used a parking lot to turn around. Methinks that driver misjudged a right turn and snapped that traffic light off in a most efficient manner.

    2020's are going back to that beautiful shade of cobalt blue that just looks amazing on a truck. Just an FYI. Also, the reefer division trucks tend to be a charcoal grey, and the company logo pallet swapped to be blue on grey shields with that little white 's'

    Literally have no idea. Swift does some hocus pocus that I’ve never seen before.

    Unreal.
    Neck maybe he needed it in other place, and that was a good way to move it down the road; of course missing oversize placards!

    A tanker did that in my town. Drove out to the edge of town and threw the light assembly into the ditch hoping nobody noticed. But someone got his plate number on a dash cam.
    He just cut the corner so much, that the trailer broke the light base and it fell onto the trailer .
