I'll stick my neck out here to say thank you for finding that, from all of us who just refuse to get on farce book or most of the other similar sites. Pinterest is another one that pisses me off!

Why would somebody move to the shoulder like that and keep driving like it's just another lane?
lovesthedrive Thanks this. -
Was wondering that myself. It's a head-scratcher for sure.
-
Only reason I fool with it, is because my daughter put together a page for our antique tractor & engine show. Be surprised how well it reaches the younger generation. She then put one together for me, I enjoy all the tractor stuff I see, and especially the buy, sell, trade, truck & trailer sights. But there is so much ignorance too. Things like the Model A Kenworth enthusiast page is nice, as well as the peterbilt pages. It's like walking in a cow pasture though..... Watch every step.

You got that right. I know a guy named Link. He doesn't work worth a ####.lovesthedrive and PacoTaco Thank this.
-
Kind of makes me think there might be a bit of road rage going on there.OLDSKOOLERnWV and Lepton1 Thank this.
-
Way I understood it, there was road rage involved. Driver who got hit, wouldn't/couldn't let Swift over coming on the highway. I might be wrong though. My source is a 3rd party lol.Lepton1 Thanks this. -
Once again Swift nevertheless fails to disappoint with comedy relief.

Now THAT really IS funny. First off, he's obviously in the wrong parking lot, LoL. Secondly, who's the guy with the orange barrel...his trainer?!?
This actually deserves a new thread, man~! Guess he just gave up there in the middle, eh? -
With all the Swift bashing, thought some views from the insurance side might be relevant. Below are FMCSA stats that we can access. As a general rule we "expect" a frequency ratio on up to 150 power units in the 12-18% range. Clearly it should come down with more power units. We, in the insurance industry feel confident in our ability to determine frequency expectations so given all the "trainees" Swift and other megas have I actually think Swift isn't near as poor as you all tend to feel.
The reality when you have 17,000 + units on the road and have 1591 incidents, that works out to 4 occurrences somewhere in the USA....EVERY DAY.....just think using our 18% number would equate to 3207 incidents, or 8.7 incidents per day.
