That is so sad. My condolences to the deceased driver's family. Probably out there trying to proved for his family.

Very sad. :tears:

It is a matter of time before Swift goes the way of Schneider and cancels their training programs. I do wonder if those training programs will ever be reopened.

If they dont have the "dummy newbie" to sign on with them, who will?

I would think MOST experienced drivers already know how bad of a company they are..Key words...Would think....
:roll:

I am a newbie for Swift... and not sure if I fit the "dummy" definition. :ranting:

Regardless, someone has died and it is a tragedy no mater whom the driver was transporting under.

Thank God the trainer lived. If I were him, that might be the last night I train someone. I was in a similar situation last year except I was the trainee asleep in the back and my trainer was the one who lost control and crashed. Scared the hell outta me.

Sad. That's for sure.

I have always felt that the trainer should be awake sitting in the passenger seat the whole time the trainee is driving. A training truck should not be used to run teams. My prayers are with this drivers family.

You are missing the big picture of this horrible situation........:roll:

I will never understand how a trainer can train a new driver from the bunk.
