Hello Sir. You're such an asset to trucking with your attitude. Hurrah for you! I used to drive a truck with my husband. I'd always worked in an office so the open road was refreshing. I stand a mere 4'8" and Greg was over 6'. He was kind of like a teddy bear, but gruff if he was tired. I recall being able to get a few steps ahead of him to get him calmed down. We all are fatigued at times whatever the reason. Sadly I lost him because of cancer over 7 years ago. Spent a lot of time on the road by myself and be gone for quite a while. I absolutely loved the job but was sure to get my rest. God bless you. Would love for all of the drivers who end up in an unplanned, unwanted and unhandy situation to hear your words before they say or do something they shouldn't. Thank you. Teresa, Indianapolis Indiana
The fact that you chose to squeeze between the trash can and reserved signs instead of taking the wide open space tells me your qualified to drive for swift
I Always stay away from truck stops and crowded areas. It keeps my truck safe witch means no down times. I could careless about the convenience of showers and restrooms at truck stops. Safety first ✌️
If u feel like something is not right or your not sure Always get out and look. And western express is not a major carrier they only have two terminals one in Tennessee and one in CA.
I'm still a new driver (barely 2 years OTR) and tell the new-new drivers that being in an accident is not necessarily grounds to be fired as long as you don't lie about it. I'll still get out and look behind the trailer 6 or 7 times if I have to 🤷♂️
I used, or tried to drive for them. They put me in a refurbished 2019 Freightliner, and just under 1000 miles, the abs/tcs light and these other bad lights came on, all at once, and they still wanted me to drive on that...
Whenever I see a crash like this I always think he can't be happy to have crashed just as much as the other side isn't happy to have been crashed into. The best way to handle any situation while driving is to keep calm in my opinion.
Nicely handled, that sucks for both you guys but I’m sure the other driver is bummed out by it. I think you handled the whole situation great. Glad you were in the truck and got your camera out so quickly. Good job brother, take care. 👍✌️ keep on truckin Yellow Ranger
Had JB Hunt bust my heart left light housing and deep scratches on my hood and side panel. Didn't leave any info and left... dash cam caught it all and next day he got fired.
At our company, on parking lot minor damage. We just take picks and do a driver exchange form. That's all you need. Most cops won't do a report for parking lot crashes anyway. Why screw up the other drivers csa if it's not needed. SWIFT most likey won't even fix the truck anyway if it's still operating and will still pass for for..
No cops. I wouldn't want the driver to call the cops if it were my fault. Why? Devalues my CDL, future jobs,etc. Now if it was my personal rig then I would have to call the cops. SWIFT will take care of it. I backed into a guys driver side mirror back in May. He didnt call the cops. His reasoning for not calling the cops....it would effect my CDL. I was grateful. I got 12 RA points for that crash. BUT....I had the WestValley SWIFT terminal do a DOT inspection. I then did a volunteer inspection in California. Flawless. Decreased 4 points on my RA score. Not judging you. You did what you had to do.
If that's the case. Most Swift drivers wouldn't be driving anymore. You know as many times as they hit other trucks and run.. the one and only time my truck was ever hit in a truck stop, was by a SWIFTER idiot..
yellow man. have a question what do you think about hazmat endorsement. is it need it for long haul. or is it a big responsibility... safe drive's. i enjoy watching your channel.
i like your videos yellow ranger i also drive big trucks not as big as your trucks lol we sometimes pull 52 foot trailers for a supermarket company some of our supermarkets are very tight and these 52 foot trailers have 3 axles the rear axle steers we have daf trucks Amercian trucks are the best i always wanted to drive Amercian trucks lol
Caleb Manuel lol that little dent ain’t nothing for swift you know how many of their drivers destroy brand new trucks every day😂 swift could make a four hour movie of just accidents of swift drivers fucken shit up. And before any key bored warriors start yelling at me YES I KNOW IT WAS WESTERN EXPRESS TRUCK THAT HIT SWIFT IM SAYING MOST OF THE TIME ITS THE OTHER WAY AROUND
How you call the Cops? You.re on private property! I was in a parking lot , had my front end backed into!! In Tucson, Az. Called 911, the dispatcher informed me I was on private property and the Police did not respond unless their was injury or death!
This is why i always stayed away from swift !!! I drove for 10 year's and i saw some dumb things but swift takes the cake !!!! I don't know what the hell they teach drivers at swift but its not nearly good enough !!!!
BECARFULL FOR NEW DRIVERS The school was Ok, the mentor was good, but after the graduation, they promise for inexperience driver at least 1000 per week, but if they complete 5 days of work and gets what, the dispatchers are sure the drivers get stock with no trailer, wrong directions, no answer the phone, anyway they do everything for doesn't give you the 5 days driving and the inexperience drivers get paid no more than 400 a week which means you have to sleep in the truck for 2 o 3 days with no paid, no decent conditions for less than 400. is been 2 weeks and it's been the same situation week after week. That's the way Swiff transportation makes money?
What's the diffrence between Swift and Western Express There is none both fall under the same criteria Sure Wished Idiot Finished Training Some people are born to drive trucks others try and should never continue and some had lazy shithead trainer
Bro, how the hell do you run over a curb and not feel it? I drive something better then that crapcadia and I can feel everything. 😳😳😳😳 You really don't make sense!!
Derrick Wilson Ive prevented my truck from getting hit at least two times with in my first 4 months solo. Ive also seen so many truckers talk so much smack on the cb radio and cant even back up themselves...
Get some rest brother....you’ve done the right thing!!! Stay positive, stay humble & keep grinding🤙🏽🤙🏽
Jerome Leaeno sup cuzz!! Thanks man catch you out here on the roads
Damn that Swift was parked and still managed to hit that Western Express..

What places do you park at
Here parks on the side of the highway
No shower dirty ass
Matt Amhare
I bet you and your truck smells stank
Get an English book on your next downtime.
That western driver also has a front end damage prior to hitting swifts. He got away from that one but no this one.
It's not like his axles were too far forward and there was too much over-swing.
If u feel like something is not right or your not sure Always get out and look. And western express is not a major carrier they only have two terminals one in Tennessee and one in CA.
Holy fuck this guy takes 13 minutes to tell a 3 min story
Those two companies have to be highly commended for giving New Driver’s a chance. We all were new at some point. Thanks for sharing bro.

What’s up Yellow Ranger. Сan I add your video to my channel? 😀
Perfect thing to do bro im at swift Academy in Memphis right now your videos have helped out greatly bro. I have one week left and then its test time
Troydarius Rogers ohohh 😧 a swift Graduate
It's really crazy when you got to park up under someone sometimes it's always good to park away if it's anything available where you can park
tell me again how western express hits swift and its swifts fault?
Simple. Wrong title.
As a swift driver I have mastered the art of hitting moving trucks while parked
@@scrawny_assling2466 🤣🤣🤣

What the f$$k happened you need to leave more room for the other driver. Got to watch those rookies, Swift in the way.
On second thought maybe I don't want to be a trucker lol
papa clint dude that is nothing
@CaptainSpauIding RIP Mr. Haig

Not judging you. You did what you had to do.
Well you have to reap the consequences of what you do. If you don't it makes you less of a man. A coward for that matter.
I backed into 3 mirrors when I first started and not once were cops involved. It really depends if the driver you backed into is cool about it or not.
I wouldn't have called either but I'm a company driver
Alot of the times the police don't show up to these type of incidents being that it's a civil matter on private property.
I drove that exact truck before I'm pretty sure that was my old trainer. XD
God dammit 🤣🤣
Swift already ha those skid marks from a maneuver he tryed to do days before in a shipping yard hahaha
Worly Worly hahaha
If that's the case. Most Swift drivers wouldn't be driving anymore. You know as many times as they hit other trucks and run.. the one and only time my truck was ever hit in a truck stop, was by a SWIFTER idiot..

ACCIDENTS HAPPEN. GOOD JOBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB.
When your backing if not sure get out an look
Your absolutely right man those comments are ridiculous. Again your right it has nothing to do with companies.
Sometime the company pushed beyond ability of driver , when incedent happens, at the twinkle of a eye, no warning, not if but when
What's with hubcaps on semis these days?
"You can sponsor me"-lol
Great driving
Probably alot happens with Swift is they have more trucks on the road than any other company , what 15,000 ?
You know not at fault accidents will still raise your insurance.
See all the damage on westerns tractor from previous close spaces.
Great way to handle the situation.
i like your videos yellow ranger i also drive big trucks not as big as your trucks lol we sometimes pull 52 foot trailers for a supermarket company some of our supermarkets are very tight and these 52 foot trailers have 3 axles the rear axle steers we have daf trucks Amercian trucks are the best i always wanted to drive Amercian trucks lol
Man that’s nothing to compare on Swift drivers
Buldercrest Atlanta ga hate that pilot
Swift and Knight is the same company why people never talk about Knight?
Western X is the new Swift.
Looks like the loves ins Little Rock, AR
Where u from bro? How’s the trucking job going on?
Damn swift got backed into
GOAL
How was this Swift's fault? May wanna change the title
Just subbed man! Good stuff man you did the right thing!!! Good job!!

Maybe if ya got out sooner and helped wouldn’t have happened plus I hate that pilot that’s the hood you’ll be a fool to park there to sleep
First time I’ve seen a swift truck hit!
Derrick Wilson Ive prevented my truck from getting hit at least two times with in my first 4 months solo. Ive also seen so many truckers talk so much smack on the cb radio and cant even back up themselves...
