    OP taking a couple pics while either stopped or crawling along. Swift laid over.

    Not exactly a pot/kettle situation.

    Good job driver. Looks like the NJ barrier has sliced the frame in half already.

    It is difficult. You have to be either inexperienced or incompetent or both.

    I remember about 10 years ago I was doing a job building a pad for a Burger King in Austin, TX. We were at an overpass that went over I10, a Swift driver was trying to take the u-turn and pulled that 53' up over the concrete barrier. He didn't go over, but I'm guessing he was loaded cause he tore the axles off the springs on the driver side.
