lol, Swift is still doing stupid stuff

https://dailytimewaster.blogspot.com/

Mike just let me know, that Swift drivers are still doing stupid shit, that is damned dangerous, on the highways. Be careful out there if you see a Swift rig (thank you Mike!)

that's a rig in the oncoming lane, and that moron driving the Swift rig HAS to get into the lane that little white car is in, and that Swift rig has already passed two vehicles to get to that place in the line, and THOUGHT he'd pass that rig with the loaded flatbed too

So he slides right, and that little white car can be roadkill, or back off and slow down. 

Ain't no use in competing with a Swift driver, they are stupider than you. 

yup, got out of that oncoming lane in the nick of time

lol, remember when Swift was unable to make it through a week without crashing? Well, this one was able to drive on an interstate without incident long enough for me to pass him

If you'll indulge me, please, stand, remove your hats, and begin the slow clap,... a hero walks among us... a Michigan trucker was found guilty of setting Swift Transportation trailers on fire! A Detroit-area man set fires across the country in ‘rampage of retaliation’ against Swift, US attorney says!

A Michigan truck driver accused of being a serial arsonist responsible for setting blazes across the country has been found guilty in California for setting Swift Transportation equipment on fire as part of a personal vendetta against the company.

Jurors on Tuesday found Viorel Pricop, 66, of Allen Park in metropolitan Detroit, guilty of six counts of arson of vehicle or property in interstate commerce after a 16-day trial. Investigators said Pricop, who was charged in U.S. District Court for the Central District of California in December 2022, set fire to at least 24 semi-trailers belonging to Swift Transportation in eight states after he was convicted in 2018 for transporting stolen cargo. That earlier case stemmed from an investigation conducted by Swift.

The California fires occurred in San Bernardino and Riverside counties from December 2021 to September 2022, prosecutors said. Pricop is accused of setting the other fires in New Mexico, Texas, Arizona, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas and Alabama, mostly along Interstates 10 and 40 from June 2020 to March 2022, charging documents say. Drivers were sometimes asleep in their trucks when the fires were set, but no injuries were reported. Pricop faces federal charges in other states.

Swift Transportation, based in Arizona, told investigators this number of fires had never occurred in company history, prompting company officials to hire fire investigation consultants to determine the cause. Investigators uncovered a pattern of similar methods used to light the trailers on fire, including where the fires began on the vehicles and the times they were set, prosecutors said.

Pricop “went on a rampage of retaliation” against Swift Transportation, which linked a 2015 theft to Pricop, said U.S. Attorney Martin Estrada. Swift utilized bait trailers containing tracking devices to catch thieves following a series of thefts. Company investigators traced stolen boxes to a storage facility in Michigan, leading to Pricop’s arrest. 

He was convicted in 2018 for a tax offense and for transportation of stolen goods, which stemmed from the Swift investigation. His supervised release ended in June 2019, about a year before the Swift equipment fires began, prosecutors said.

OK, when you read the facts (that's why I included them) he's not such a good guy... but, at a glance the headlines looked like he was trying to save us from the Swift trucking collisions, crashes, smashes, flips, wrong ways, etc. (it's been years since that was a weekly post, but it was epic)

Swift has been keeping out of the news for a long time, but they doubled down in their triumphant comeback as the biggest idiots and worst drivers in the world! Tire came off a steer wheel and he backed over a fire hydrant all in the course of a minute

nobody hates Swift more than Viorel Pricop! He got revenge on Swift by setting fires to 25 Swift trailers at fuel stations or rest areas from Alabama to California in the last 2 years! (thank you Gary!)

A GPS navigation device installed in a commercial truck owned and operated by Pricop was present at the fires, and a cellphone used by Pricop was present near 24 of the 25 fires

Pricop was convicted in 2018 in Michigan for transportation of stolen goods and sentenced to two years in prison in an investigation and prosecution in which Swift cooperated.

In 2018, he was convicted and got two years in prison for trafficking stolen goods and defrauding the IRS. The 64-year-old made a killing through his company Twin Twisters Trucking and Good Time, LLC in Milford, Mi. from 2010 to 2014.

Police found out what he was up to in 2015 when a police trooper tracked down a load of stolen Bose stereos from New Mexico by tracing tracking devices inside the boxes of the devices. 

Pricop fled to Canada in 2015 after admitting that he was involved in moving goods stolen from semi-trailer.

Inside his barn they found 60 pounds of marijuana, two pistols and more than $1M of merchandise after two searches.

 They also unearthed a red 2012 Ferrari FF worth $490,000, a silver 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLS worth $197,000, printers, computer tablets, more than 500 pieces of designer apparel, industrial machinery, handguns and other electronics,

This might be the rarest thing I've ever posted, a Swift truck not crashing into anything

 

everything was fine, until the 3rd Swift trailer passed by. Then the hill got revenge for all the crashes of Swift trucks into hills!

skip the uneventful first minute
 

Something shut down and killed off the "Swift drivers crash all the time" facebook pages I used to visit.... so, it just takes time to hunt for the photos that prove nothings changed but WHERE those photos get posted on Facebook

somehow, just being in the same area as a Swift truck can cause problems for the innocent

Swift driver arrested arrested for kidnapping, strangulation, harassment, recklessly endangering, driving under the influence of intoxicants and unlawful delivery of cocaine. Driving in the dirt alongside a railroad was not unusual for any Swift driver, it was simply where they caught up with him

A semi truck driver was arrested Tuesday morning after police say he kidnapped a woman, drove her from Tacoma to Hillsboro and then assaulted her on the loading dock of a Costco when she tried to escape.

Thanks Ray!

Missed it by that much, huh Swift?

you know, someone told the Swift driver, back up to the ramp.. but what the driver heard was "back up the ramp"

and thought, "sure, why not, how else are we going to unload this if we don't use the ramp!"
