    25k power units and counting...
    Swifties usually break only one thing but this is the first time I've seen one do a double whammy, literally, no pun intended.:eek:

    It says the driver missed the turn they were supposed to take and well, the rest is history.

    At the terminal they have a bigscreen TV that displays various safety messages-- one of them is

    "Do Not Do Anything To End Up on YouTube Today"

    A camera in that truck could have prevented this.

    Yup, especially if they point one side of it in the driver's face for ~11 hours a day.

    Might help if they could listen in on what was going on inside the cab 24/7 also.

    Well their trailers say "Best In Class". Who would've thought it?;)

    What they don't say is that Class is at the end of the short bus' route.

    I thought that Swift and CRE were the training centers for future FudEx drivers. "Here is how you crash, now you are promoted"
     
    Dave_in_AZ and scottied67 Thank this.

    That's why they put that message up, Swift drivers are trained to drive right to the edge of the envelope, tip of the spear, best of the best and they'll make you better.
     
    Big Don, alghazi and austinmike Thank this.
