Holy smokes! What did he do?? Lie to swift and fake the miles so he wouldnt need a trainer??? Geezum CROW! Send him back for more trained miles.
The karma will occur when he's making a right hand turn at a stop light with his go pro on his head, complaining that the mega in front of him left his signal light on for 3 flashes too long, and snag the stop light pole, dropping it on a patrol car.
He DOES NOT NEED TO! You dont see a hole picture do you? There is a LOT OF SPACE around that parking lot , if the guy picked stupid one, then he have to learn from his mistake! Look if it was 11PM at night , and it was last spot, heck I would defend SWIFT , and bi***ed at stupid gas station parking line up, but at day time with half -empty truck stop, nope that SWIFT driver don't need help, he need new trainer , and common sence
For some reason I am a little more worried about you being out on the road than this kid who knotted himself up in a parking lot, was scared to death and still managed to get it out with no damage and an air problem while Steven Spielberg here recorded it all.
I'm more worried about a driver who got all knotted up and nervous, could clearly see in his mirror he would not get by a parked fixed object, still powered forward and hit the object. This was at slow speed. What will the guy do at 60 miles per hour. =
Dude, how is it you find EVERY possible way to prove how great a driver you are? Or is it every possible way drivers are bad?
I helped the guy out. I stuck with him til he was safely parked. I could have walked away. Plenty of truckers sitting back in the row behind recording the whole thing on their dashcams but certainly did not step out to even come over. OK let's break it down even further. How much handholding do you estimate this CDL professional driver needs in this situation? The guy passed up multiple easy parking spots then did a poor set-up. I was simply walking by with my handsfree bodycamera making commentary and advice for what to do to not get in a similar situation. This is a great training video for future truckers.
I understand everyone defending the guy wants to be "nice", but this should be looked at using logic and not emotion. This guy is in charge of a 40 ton vehicle and can't even manage to park it without hitting another object? Do you really want someone like that driving next to your family on the highway? I sure don't. Yeah, maybe it's crude to not cut this guy some slack because he's new or didn't get proper training or whatever...but the fact is, he's out here with a serious lack of skills. Unacceptable...period.
I'm actually heartened by the fact that given Swift is usually reviled and ridiculed, here Swift has a ton of defenders even though there is video evidence of him hitting a parked fixed object directly in his driver side mirror. Says there is still hope for humanity lol
