    Every single Swift terminal has 7-10 wrecked out trucks out by the shop. They come in weekly. The lowboy drivers who go out to get the Swift wrecks and bring back to terminals have steady year-round work.

    It's Diesel, not Gas. Learned the hard way.

    That looks to be a 4wheeler gas station. Does not look like a truck stop. If that's the case, why in God's name is he in there?

    They take the salvageable wrecked trucks to the Phoenix Terminal where they have their own 20 bay body shop, the ones that can't be fixed there are taken to Arizona State Prison- Lewis, off AZ-85 to be fixed by the inmates there.

    The ones that are beyond repair are sold to local AZ salvage yards like Westoz in Phoenix, AZ as Rebuildables or for Parts.

    Maybe the SWIFT safety Dept, can put stickers on all of their Trucks dashboards that say"DONT TURN AROUND IN GAS STATION PARKING LOT'S". Just like those GOAL stickers they put on their trucks mirrors.

    They HAD 50k trucks. They're down to 16k and more are being destroyed as we speak

    He probably went there because he was out of fuel
