    .....this IS swift we are talking about. So umm yea. The only drivers dumber then swift are amazon.

    The amazon hireing process goes something like this. First they give potential drivers one of those childrens drop the shape in a hole style toys. If the potential drivers immediate reaction is NOT to attempt to swallow the peices then they boot them out the door. For the ones that DO try to swallow the peices and somehow survive those are weeded down further by only hireing the ones that cant speak or read....not speak or read ENGLISH but speak or read AT ALL. Unintegiable grunting and waveing of arms is fine though.

    Those drivers are then FURTHER weeded down by testing their road skills. The ones who use the truck as a weapon and fly into blind unreasioning rage or attempt to destroy everything and everyone around them pass. The rest are booted out. And that is a typical amazon driver.

    Swift just hires the ones who have been dropped on their heads so many times as a kid you could use said head to sit a drink on.

    This is one of those picture that get worse the longer you look at it. At first I just thought the jackwagon just parked too close to the Loves truck.

    It's very possible.

    Gasoline vapors don't play nicely with sparks or hot turbo housings.

    Yes, they can.
    Swift ran over the hoses, driver delivering hasn’t started pushing product. Hoses were connected to the tanks but not the trailer.
    I cannot fathom how swift though that route was a good idea.
    The tank lids are yellow, indicating ULSD / diesel. Not much chance for boom, but I’ll bet that Gemini driver was really really pissed his hoses were trashed. They ain’t cheap either.

    If they’d move that cop car, and quit blocking his way, he’d keep driving on.

    if I had been that tanker driver, I would have thrown one of those drop fittings at that dude's head. The Swift seat occupant needs to lose his CDL for life. I have seen some stupid drivers, but... DAMMMM
