    I liked how when he called the dispatchers, they said Debbie was busy and would call him back in 12 minutes. A favorite Swift driver trick is to hang up and immediately call back and the person you want will answer-- this happened here and she was quite contrite with him instead of saying, 'driver, I'm real busy right now, let me call you right back' no she has to talk down to the guy like "I. Will. Call. You."

    their was a swift driver on here about 7 may be 8 years ago
    he had a LIVE webcam running and a chat room going when he was going up Fancy Gap empty doing 50 mph in HEAVY FOG.... the video showed you couldn't see 100 ft in front of him and he rear ended a semi that was going slow with it's 4 ways on

    he kept saying for a week that he did nothing wrong and that swift wasn't going to fire him..... well 9 days later swift got a copy of the video and kicked out of his new truck

    he blamed the other driver for going slow and for having a WHITE trailer....????

    I don't think the female did anything wrong. This guy is obviously annoying and dumb. Just listening to his whiney voice is annoying. If I were his boss i would have never hired him just by his dumb attitude. I would have been like hey if you want to be out there lollygagging around with your camera instead of paying attention to your job I'll fire ur ...sss.

    According to the videos on his channel, he is officially "retired"from trucking now.
    5 years in and retired. That's a #### fine retirement program.

    No sympathy for these guys. He basically terminated himself via video.
