Fighting a preventable with Swift.

WOW!! ###### if you do ###### if you don't, a no win situation.

 

Well,

I'm curious if you are familiar with his companies policy on this.

If so, could you help us out here.

 

In my post it's impertinent whether I'm familiar, or not, with his company policy. I am not, btw.
My post was directly addressing your post (Post #29), where you leaded off with "this may save you".

Your Post #29:

My post simply stated that your "this may save you" would not apply to the OP's case, because the clause you listed in post #29 requires that the OP had been struck in the rear. He was clearly not struck in the rear. So therefore your posted "this may save you" clause would not apply.
As for "helping us out here"... I actually did that. I had informed you of the error of your post #29 statement, so the OP would know it did not apply to his case.
Sorry it seems not to have sat well with you.

 

It sits well, no problem here.

I have seen some preventables, classified otherwise.

and,

vise versa

 

Remember, this is a rather minor accident, and being decided at company level.

A driver with a good record, is often judged differently than somebody with a questionable record.

I've seen a flat out preventable accident, declared as non preventable.

Alot of factors involved in these decisions.

 

I don't need to inspect it. I know what the DOT officer said. I was not cited for anything. And our safety/president told me it won't go on my record or affect anything about me. And I still received my $450 quarterly safety bonus.

Not all companies are out to screw a driver. Some treat their drivers as professionals and with respect. Especially if you're not some numnuts behind the wheel.

 

I had the same thing happen in Texas years ago. I didn't even see it happen or feel it. I just notice a guy that kept getting left lane then slowing down behind me. After about 30 miles there was a smokey on my donkey. I pulled over ooh ya the guy did pass me then slowed down pretty much slammed on his brakes and was pulling to the shoulder. I didn't know what he was doing. But when I seen him and he was telling the cops I hit his car and there was damage and there was marks on my passenger side trailer tire. I thought he was saying it happen when he cut me off. But it happened earlier when he was getting on the highway. Guess he was trying to get me to pull over. I was about to go after that dude. But the cop stopped me. Then he interviewed his passenger a teenager. And he told him that his uncle made up the story and hit me getting on the freeway and cop just let me go. I'm sure it was a long ride to Dallas with his uncle. Now that my companies insurance wasn't going to pay for his negligence.

 

I didn't say you NEED to inspect it,,, If you don't want to check your DAC, PSP & MVR because you are confident in our LEO's, the company's you have drove for, and those people that make statements on these 3 documents, than knock yourself out brother.

 

Most excellent news and I'm happy for you that I was wrong! I would strongly recommend getting a dash cam and recommend the 4 Sight brand sold at the Petros and TAs; the Road Dawg is an inferior copy. They can be job savers when someone does something stupid and tries to blame you for the wreck.
