    Maybe they're doing a sequel of Planes, Trains and Automobiles only this time it includes a truck.

    If you've ever heard that shrill demanding Jill voice-- "Make a U Turn If Possible" sound bite from Rand McNalley, you know better than to ignore it. Jill wears leather biker boots and will lash you with a leather bull whip unless you do that U turn.

    I know Jill intimately and what I know for sure is she would never request a u-turn in that situation given it is a section of freeway with no cross-over option. She would have directed the driver to the next off ramp.

    Besides, the driver should have had "Allow U-Turns" option turned off. So don't blame Jill. She's into mastery and pain infliction but not into being stupid.

    So when a swift truck does not have those lightning strikes and white along the side of his truck its lease? I seen a few of normal color trucks with the small swift letters. Leasing for swift they bearly pay how can you afford a lease. Is their company driver making crap.

    On my Rand McNally I changed the voice from Jill to Jack. He is just as stupid as she was.

    There's a whole page on Facebook documenting Swift stupidity.... I cringe every time one of their trucks gets near me. I think that company must be bribing the stooges at FMCSA because their OOS averages are all consistently higher than the national average, yet no action is taken. Meanwhile if a good small company so much as sneezes they wind up getting every orifice probed. I've had my own dealings with that outfit after one of their idiot trainee teams backed into me years ago, then tried to get the cop to arrest me for a false report. Ever since then I've considered Swift, CR England, and CRST , (the "three amigos" of training generations of morons) to be sworn enemies.

    Maybe Swift was blocking the highway because Fenton got loose again and was chasing a herd of animals across the road
