WRONGFULLY TERMINATED FROM SWIFT

I have actually slid a few wheels on dry, but they bite into the tires and tears em all up fast. And I am the one paying for the replacements. Usually after I took out a car or two on the 495 around DC during rush. Thats on me.

This would be back in the mid 80's where trailer braking and suspension is nowhere near as nice as they are today.

In today's trucks with that ABS etc you would not be able to slide them very much. Or want to. They need to keep rotating.

 

And I am almost mid 50's with a birthday this week (Ugh...) so to put that into context, the man has been driving longer than I have had a useful life time.

 

isn't there also a minimum speed limit for the ABS to work..?? and under that limit, they act like ordinary brakes?

 

sheesh, i got asteroids older than you..

 

No surprise to me that this forum would side with the same Swift desk jockeys they’ll move on to lambaste in the next thread. The guy was hit by a speeding 4 wheeler who blew a red light, that’s the fact obviously proven by the police report. Considering the company in question I don’t see why this hard to believe, they’ll fire him because there are 50 more suckers ready to fill his position. Regardless of the WHAT IFs, he was cited no wrongdoing and was fired anyways. As someone else stated, keep a copy of that report handy and find another job. You won’t have a problem with that amount of experience finding a far better job than Swift anyways

 

That is the thing. I think it's 25. But don't put the jewels in that basket. Im pretty sure you or anyone wont take too long in proving me wrong or right with some other speed.

That is the other side of the coin for me. When I used ABS in the big rig its because I am way too #### fast and need to stop right now. If I did not have that ABS onboard after say 1996, I would most certainly have hit people and I think that will break my heart more than anything. Better to miss them by this much and tell the story later.

 

well like my lane departure warning, it does not work below 35 mph if i recall.

 

Thats one item I have never had. Nor will I be willing to put up with that. I'll snip the speakers first then tape over the offending warning alert flash.
