    Geez,you know it’s a bad one when you see law enforcement and EMS driving the wrong way just to get to the accident scene. Even a state trooper got caught up in the wreck-the police interceptor’s roof is bent upwards!!

    Pfft, "massive"? I read there were ONLY 40 vehicles involved. I think the "massive" cutoff is somewhere around 75 or more. You know, I watch this "Highway through Hell" baloney on the weather channel, every episode, this guy has a new wrecker, so there's clearly money to be made in recovery/show biz. "Hammer down, no problems ahead",,,oh, oh,,

    I was really close to where this happened, sitting nice and comfy in my truck at a truck stop.

    And, not a single Swift truck in the lot that I could see!!

    Lately you don’t see them involved in these quagmires as much as we used to. It’s as if they’ve either wised up or Amazon is picking up where they left off.lol

    I've only been with them since August of 2019. But, in that time they have definitely stressed being safe. Unsure if it was always that way. But, hopefully their focus on being safe is helping.
