I have done the math here before, but if you divide 1.8 billion miles by the number of recordable accidents that they have in a given year and compare it to pretty much any carrier with more than 10 trucks you will see that Swifts numbers are pretty f****** astonishingly good.
Now consider that the numbers you see on the government site are for 2 years and 4 billion miles driven by mostly drivers with under a year of driving experience... Last I did the math, it was 1 recordable accident per 6 million miles. Thats 1 accident per 6 careers worth of driving.
And then consider also that 80 percent or better of accidents involving cmv are not the fault of the commercial driver. 6 million accident free miles and when there is an accident theres better than an 80 out of 100 chance that it wasnt swifts fault. Much less that its the companys fault directly regardless. Hell they dont even want you chaining your tires and driving when weather is bad.
Swift’s accident rate is their own fault
