Three Swift Swifts Parking Follies

Adventures in Trucking

Published on Dec 6, 2015 - Comedy of Comedies. 3 Swift drivers try to back their semi trucks into their assigned parking spaces. The actual time before the time lapse was about an hour to accomplish this.

Scared me for a second - I drive a grey Kenworth like #2, even the first three numbers match!

#1: 143848 #2: 148158 (I'm 148339) You never see truck #3

Ok, that was pretty funny. At least they GOALed. And they never hit anything. I can't imagine letting someone else drive though.

Everyone does. You'll have one day where you'll nail it all day long. The next day people will think Helen Keller is behind the wheel. As some here know, I drive in NYC all the time, it'll force you to have your head on a swivel and give you challenges you really don't want. The key is to be safe and never give up.

I don't really find that video all that funny myself. Mostly because they didn't hit anything, and they're almost certainly all in the early stages of learning. The only thing you should expect of a new driver is that they don't hit anything. Otherwise take all day if you have to, that's called learning.

I agree that yes they are in the learning stage or at least seem to be. True, they didn't hit anything but taking that long and one driver giving up certainly makes you question the quality of their training. I'll gladly praise my trainer, he didn't make any backing situation easy on me. He wanted me to assess the situation and have a plan in mind.
