I cant quite tell what happend in the second one but the first video is just one of those things. He was apparently coming out of a bad driveway. Until you've driven a truck you cant understand how easy it is to have that happen. Places want you to deliver and haul for them but sometime they dont think about how the truck is going to get in and out.

Yep, The way most driveways are built the radius is too small for a 53' trailer.

Default Swift

Someone told me testerday that Swift was in deep poo-poo with DOT because some of there trainers were not regustered and could not give driver license test leaguely and some Swift drivers will have there licenes pulled.

Easy to do? They don't put mirrors on trucks for nothing. I would give him some credit if he was pulling out on to a busy street, but hes not. I would also give him some credit if only one side of the trailer tires were it the ditch, but just about the whole thing is in it. When I took my CDL test if one dual got up on a curb you failed. Just idmagin if there was a side walk there with someone standing at the corner.

that is what truck drivin school does fer ya. When I was driving, I always ran from Swift drivers. Had one try to keep up with me coming off the blues in Oregon coming into La Grand and he ended up in the center median. Then getting fuel at the Flyin J in La Grand, saw 3 guys hangin chains on their rig. The wind was blowin bad so I was inside my Pete while fueling and I was watching the circus. They got the chains hung, drove 10 feet and 3 sets FELL OFF!! I got out, shut the pump off and hauled **** away!
