    ####, first time it happened to me I almost jackknifed. And my former boss had the audacity to tout the forward mitigation system as a GOOD thing when I turned in my key this morning...

    That's why when I drove them I hardly ever used cruise control. Never had a problem when using the pedal

    I wonder if Swift would even hire me. 40 years no accidents, no moving violations in 23. I have no idea how their electronic gizmos would rate me.
    I'll go to work at the local hardware store long before any mega carrier signs my paycheck.
