    With the driver hearing:
    We are experiencing higher than normal call volume, your call is very important to us. Please remain on the line for the next available representative. You are number 17 in cue, your wait time is expected to be 22 minutes. Press 1 to leave a call back number and a representative will return your call at their earliest opportunity.

    Speaking of swift is it just me or has swiftly turned up their trucks. I find a swift much harder to pass. And if it's a lease purchase they're always doing 70 plus. Usually the team trucks i find are more distracted and usually on cellphone as they go by. So add to this how many accidents involving swift involve texting while driving?

    It gives the "MDA Telethon" phone people something to do the rest of the year.

    Gotta be less than 6 hours.
    Surely there's a guy sitting at a Safety desk somewhere dressed like Les Nessman, staring at a phone.. trembling... nervously fumbling nitroglycerin pills into his mouth as he awaits the phone to ring... AGAIN.

    Yeah the "Days" suggestion kicked my participation guess out of the running. I was trying to reasonably figure "how many per day" they have & divide that by 1440 minutes "in a day". This would give me a guess of "one accident every X minutes". :biggrin_25511:

    Swift turned up the trucks.

    Expect more momentum to be encountered in every Swift disaster.
