    Never blind side back. Ever. There is always a way to turn around and driver side back. Always.

    first truck was a prostar...10 speed. the kenworth was a 10 speed. Never saw the third one to see what it was.

    My glasses were dirty, I thought you said speed, not spread. My apologies. Yeah, I don't think they would be able to back with a 10 ft spread either.

    It was kinda tight. Youtube ### hole was parked where the white bobtail is in the pic. Swift was trying to get in the 2 spots to the left of him. There was probably a truck in the first 2 spots on the left. Its going to be blindside if cars are parked on that end of the lot.

    Poor swift sure does take a lot of flak from other drivers.I could see posting a video of a driver that hit a low bridge telling drivers what not to do.But this is every day backing and it takes times to master it.

    Who told you that? That is an absurd statement. You must be a new driver. If you stick with it awhile, the day will come when there is no option but to blindside.

    You are right, there is no need for personal attacks. And if I've offended anyone here with the truth, then I humbly apologize.

    Now, with that said, when are you gonna do something about these trolls who come here with no other purpose than to bash on Swift, posting unrelated pictures or videos to threads where someone is legitimately asking for help or advice, or starting threads such as this one with no other purpose than to antagonize. I find this offensive and take it as a personal attack. Most of these people have never worked for Swift and say they would never work for Swift, so they really have no idea just what kind of company Swift really is, just going of the claims of some disgruntled former employees. I'm not saying that Swift is perfect, but I happen to like driving for them. They treat me well, and you won't see me in any of those pics.

    Which brings up another point...all these pics and videos showing Swift accidents, I got news for y'all, it's not Swifts fault but the drivers fault. Swift didn't make them do whatever they did to cause the accident, it was the choice of the drivers. And y'all come in here telling everyone to run from Swift and find a better company. What you are actually doing is inviting these bad drivers to join your company and bring your csa scores down.

    Why can't we have a dedicated forum here for Swift drivers and those interested in Swift to ask for help and to offer advice without getting harassed by all the haters. As it is now, this is not a very welcoming forum to come to.

    Then you might as well grow some thicker skin - ASAP! And that's all there is to it.

    I moved a few threads out of this subforum that showed Swift trucks involved in accidents. You can say what you want about a company on TTR. That is not a personal attack. Personal attacks are directed at individuals. That is where you crossed the line forcing me to edit your post.
