.........Today, while toodling along a busy surface street near Downtown Phoenix, a Swift van comes flying by me. It's a passenger van, not a semi trailer. It says Swift Academy on the side of it, with the Swift logo and all. One presumes this van is being driven either by a Swift Trainer or possibly even a Swift Truck driver.
Regardless, there was a problem with this van passing me in the place it did and going as fast as it was going - which I guessed was about 30 mph. Oh, I was going 15 mph. I never speed in school zones, and I never pass in school zones.
Yup, that's what that Swift driver did - passed me going double the speed limit in a school zone. Most everyone knows that school zones are also no passing zones - says it right on the signs, and there's a #### good reason for it. If I need to tell you the that reason, then you probably oughtta give up your CDL and find another line of work.
School kids and their safety be ###### (there's a school right down the street from that crosswalk which is going across a usually very busy street), Swift apparently knows no boundaries - and we wonder why Swift trucks are in so many accidents?

Have you ever ran at night and come across a Swift Truck. Let me tell you, they are dangerous. I run I-5 every night and there are times when I come across a Swift driver bobbing and weaving between the 2 lanes worse than a worn out boxer. I try to tell them after I pass them there is a rest area ahead, usually they will not respond.
Now I know, this does not mean that every Swift driver is a unsafe driver, but there are some that need to manage their time better, and I also know that there dispatchers that don't give a rip about your rest, but it is better to be late than not to arrive at all.

I've got to get a little digital camera. Just saw a Swift drop flatbed at the Love's between Weatherford and Hudson Oaks TX. Had a Volvo with the whole rt side gone and burnt. Haul truck had Swift logo only it was painted red instead of blue. Wish I could have gotten a pic to post here. Next time I'll be ready. Shouldn't be to long.
