    I think a lot of truckers did some stupid things when they were knew and being a swift truck he could have very well been a rookie. I made some goof when I was a rookie. When I realized I goofed up even if I realized I should have thought to do this earlier I took a step back and really tried to analyze how to correct my action even if it meant being embarrassed. If this driver had been at it longer than 6 months though then he doesn't belong on the road. When you are in a truck every maneuver has to be carefully thought out. You don't drive fast and nothing is done quickly. If you have to do something spur of the moment it means that you messed up somewhere along the way. That aside I can't believe how this truck saw this lot and just assumed he could tear through it to turn around.
