    The interviewee iterated multiple times 'she'..... Now I'm not saying that gender is a necessary strike, but the only on the road incident I've had a front row seat for, it was a woman driver.
    No I'm not a misogynist. I like women very much... but I always drive.

    While it sounds like the Swift was the one moving, so would be at fault... They are making a big deal about Swift nosing it, but it looked like a good 2/3 of the trucks were parked like that. If so what's up with that? Baby nose in was actually the right way, but someone parked him in? It just seems weird such a high number of 'backward' trucks.

    You're right.Looks like it was a female backing up.

    Cars do it if there's room, we don't expect or want to believe our fellow Profesional Driver's will do same, but they do.

    didn't watch the video, going to sit back watch what verdict is

    I cant see why Swift couldnt drive forward and avoid backing up. It seemed like there was alot of parking lot on the other end that if they pulled around they could have driven in and had their nose pointing out.

    Yes it is swifts fault. From the work experience that I have had. The companies all said the same thing. Avoid backing up when ever possible!

    The Swift truck is operated by two females. I guess one was the trainer and the other was the trainee.

    The whole reason i wanted to film this was because 2 other truckers jumped out and were dressing down the Quest driver for being in Swift's way. I thought there was going to be a fight so went back to my truck to grab video cam.

    By the time I got back the other 2 loudmouth truckers went on back to their trucks. The one guy almost had me convinced it was Quest's fault for being in the path of Swift.

    Gotta say I think it is Swift's fault with a little bit of stupidity to spread around on Quest for just sitting there and letting it happen.

    Is the driver of the red truck saying "hole" or "ho"?

    I stick my head out the window and scream, "Look out! Lady driver! Backing up!".
    You'd be surprised at the chasm that would open up, a virtual Red Sea of Moses, trucks peeling out of my way.

    Or, after a really hard back, I'd get out and say, "Whew! Not bad for my first week driving!"

    You guys are fun to tease...
