SWIFT, Speed/lane restrictions apply to you too

I guess that's why the ol' Arrowhead always smells like burnt brakes

 

Because I am mty? I mean let's face it going doing weighting 32k pound and going down weighting 79 , it's 2 different world don't you think? (Not a Swift driver)

 

They want to be the first one at the scene of the crash

 

I've had other Swift drivers pass me going down a hill because that is the only way they can do it. They seem to think it is free speed and that it will shorten their trip by a huge amount.
They might save a minute or two all day by speeding down hills, and I can't see how it is worth the risk.

 

Someone somewhere is full of crap cause there is no way bobtail can weight 26 000 without a trl, unless of course it's some custom made truck!
Bobtail truck weight somewhere around 18-20k not above 26!

 

Its amazing that swift is still in business: Safety Measurement System - Overview (U.S. DOT# 54283)

They even have a dedicated page about them on a lawyers website lol! https://www.frg-law.com/carriers/swift-transportation/

 

Its not about how much it actually weighs, its about how much weight its registered for, that technical #### will get ya.

 

I don't see anything wrong with SMS, their % of problems quiet below average. I mean almost 15 000 trucks that's a lot!
Of course some company who have only 20 trucks will have smaller problems simply cause of math
