The only way the truck continued foreward, is if the driver continued causing severe damage to the cab and it's support system..
But...that is just how I see it. http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/6260/swiftyql0.jpg His right front steer can actually go more to the right, while still keeping the left drives on the road. This would take the corner of the sleeper OFF of the trailer, and allow forward movement. I didn't say there wouldn't be MORE damage than he has already caused. I said I THINK he could finish making the uturn. ;) |

How could it be his only choice? He drove in there right? Seems to me if his way is blocked, his best bet is to back out. Even if it means calling the Police to block traffic.

Hrmmm...it's the way I see it too!
But we all know Hobo will never back down, or admit when he's wrong...so why try??? ROOKIE!! :lol2::lol2: |
Tom, I HAVE admitted when I was wrong! Perhaps, you missed it since the last time it happened may have been BEFORE your "joined date." ROOKIE!! Most of that time you were here before me I was half-way around the world...making it difficult to see you admitting anything at the time..... |

So...you either haven't been wrong in 2 1/2 years...or you just haven't admitted it in as long...which is it? :roll3:
Most of that time you were here before me I was half-way around the world...making it difficult to see you admitting anything at the time..... Glad you made it home safely! If you were "serving," thanks for your service! I was "half-way around the world once." You were probably in diapers. ;) Some days I feel like I'm older than Moses! :eek2::lol2: |
Last night Swift driver ran over the side of the guys truck next to me in Loves at 201 exit I-75. He tore open the whole side of the guys truck. Couldn't drive it, had to be towed away. He was not backing in or out. He was driving along looking for a spot.

Stan, I've looked at the photo, or I wouldn't have spoken. The trailer is NOT up against the tree TRUNKS.... only some branches. There is actually some room back there where he could have "blindsided" it back into the tree line a bit if he wanted to. Yes, the "extender" has been trashed, but that is a common sight on Swift trucks! :lol2:
