Boy are you obtuse...! :shock:

I posted this article because a truck driver died yesterday. Now, most people would want to offer up a prayer for the driver and his family and hope that someone would learn from the tragedy...not you though. Somehow you've come out with a sword lifted over your head, waving it around at an invisible foe. :?

Get a grip! It wouldn't have mattered what company it was, a tragedy is a tragedy.
Obtuse? Hardly.. A point and a pretty much an outright slander was entered in the comments. If all your post was, was to point out that a driver died.. (yet you still slipped in the company name in the title)) then you have made your point, the driver died.. now shut your pie hole and let those discussing the other point continue without your whining. The side topic is the training issue, it was inferred that this was a company specific issue or that this trainer died while doing something wrong.. The driver quite possibly just piled it in because he was driving like a fool in horrible conditions.

The ONLY thing mentioned about the company is that is was a Swift truck which it was, that's not slander.. I said IF one of the drivers was training, then no one should have been sleeping, thats not specific to any company, just the way it should be.. by the way, you can clearly see the name on the truck, so I guess the news slandered them too..
no one inferred anything, you just used your usual twisted logic to make it seem that way.
Show me where the slander occurred..

Why is that? There was no debate. I agreed with the points, the point however that that this driver was doing anything differently than any other company trainer was doing or that the company name was dragged into it like bait was the issue.

I dont know if they changed videon since it was posted, but i dont hear anything about witness saying anything DHCP says that probably might be cause by speeding. It doesn't suggest anything about student or a mentor. Doesn't say nothing about they company name then the name on the back of the trailer in which it doesnt have to be a company driver, could be a owner operator leased underneath of them. In which it is plain and visible, the right front fendor with Hood mirrors still intacked. Indicating that the truck isnt a standard company truck in which everyone knows that swift tractors are not blue but white swift in written in blue or a off colored yellow with some art design around swift. So from My indication with the video and the information stated in the video im watching this wasn't a mintor and student driver they was speeding in the rain. In which DMV restricts you from driving to fast for road conditions. Even if it was a company driver, All trucking schools ciriculuim and regulations standards are set forth by the DMV. This isn't the fault of swift, but the fault of careless driving for the road conditions.

My deepest sympathy goes out to the passenger who died on scene and to the driver recovering from the serious injuries.

This news document is just a reminder to the people they need to slow down and be more careful exspecially in wet road conditions, it will decrease the probablilty that your going to be in a traffic collision.

So be safe out there.
