    Default Speaking of "Swift"....one got lucky the other day!

    I was coming down 95 day before yesterday....got through the toll booths at the hole in the wall in Balto....and lo and behold....a swifty zooms out of the toll booth and ignores the signs that say no trucks in the left two lanes in the tunnel. Funny thing is....the MD Transport cop didn't follow him....he went in the right two....and swifty was going for bear....when I came out of the tunnel he was way ahead....so much for the 55 zone there.

    Where he got lucky was that the transport cop didn't nail him for violating the traffic control device and speeding.... Lucky boy!

    Aren't Swift drivers 'sposed to be able to read English?
    Forrest Gump was right....and some people literally strive to prove it.....everyday. Strive not to be one of "them".... And "lemmings" are a dime a dozen!

    Remember: The "truth WILL set you free"! If it doesn't "set you free"....."it will trap you in the cesspool of your own design".

    They lost my original "avatar"....oh well.

    Aren't Swift drivers 'sposed to be able to read English?
    and i bet that if you stood there all day, would Swift be the ONLY company do pull that? i wouldn't think so. Kinda like the driver who complains that EVERYTIME he goes thru chicago, he sees a Swift truck in the far left lane on the skyway doing 55.

    kinda like how you 'always' have to stop at this stop light or that stop light.....ALWAYS.

    Admit it Kev, it was you, wasn't it? You had to make up for the time you lost while the guy was chatting with the guard. We know it was.

    That was funny right there. I was really laughing my azz off.
    Truck Driving an occupation consisting of hours of boredom interrupted by sheer terror!!

    Too bad they don't specify which "class" that is.....
    Destroy the cities...
    and they will rebuild them.
    Destroy the farms...
    and grass will grow in the streets of the cities.

    Destroy the economy of the blue-collar worker...
    and grass will grow in the executive offices.

    The bill has come due.
    ( R E T I R E D , and glad of it)

    unless there was a "road closed" barrier in front of the tunnel, forget it, i wouldn't have gone thru it....why bother? ;-)
