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?

if you look REAL close at the regulatory signs,they all say " does not apply to Swift or JB Hunt"

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.
