When the tires regain traction, the truck will go in whatever direction it is pointing. That's partially why he suddenly veered off into the wall.
The swift truck…. Idk why but I’m crying in tears 🤣🤣😭😭😭
I geuss you could say "SWIFT MOVE"! 🤣🤣🤣
Swift would of done that ona clear sunny 80 degree day
Drivers need to be vigilant, but honestly, where is the maintenance? Throw some sand on those bridges… You won't have the accidents. Before everyone starts blaming the drivers, remember this appears to be a highway that appears to be fine, and then out of the blue there is a bridge that has no salt or sand on it. Even going slightly below the speed limit doesn't help in this situation. Maintenance is a big deal, if this weren't in Texas (or the south) it likely would have been treated by maintenance teams overnight.
I am a truck driver and have hit Ice so many times on bridge u just left of the gas and hold the wheel tight when u hit dry pavement again and dont slam the brakes!! everyone goes for the breaks!
LOL!
But my truck driver friend told me,there are some bad guys spread oil on the road. Make truck damage.Then earn truck driver's money,that's nauseating!
Swift transportation needs drivers
SWIFT: Where accidents always occur 😂🤣😂
Well its a swift truck,enough said!!!
Come to NJ
Only n Houston
They should salt or sand their roads in Texas.
At 01:40…that looks like blood on the ground?? Hope he's ok.
Looks like the swift driver hit the brakes instead of letting off the gas and coasting through the ice.
Idiots w 4x4s think they are INVINCEABLE
Never hit the brakes
put up a sign that said's pinball road
This will more likely happen with an empty trailer I'm willing to bet his was or at the least very light. Those super singles don't make it any easier either.
should use as atrainf video,for all drivers
Really got to release your brakes
Sorry bud truck stop is another mile down the road
1. Swift tuck, nuff said. 2. that winch operator is dead should that cable snap.
STOP slamming on your brakes when you start sliding! Drive out of it!
