Man, I have a government truck. I get how frustrating it is to be behind someone going fractions of a mile slower than you. Personally I have a self imposed rule that I don't pass unless there's a passing lane or the person in front of me is going dangerously slow and I don't need a car running up under my trailer, 🤷. But I will still slow down for everyone that tries to pass me on a two lane road. It's just rude not to.
JB Hunt, Schneider back in the day was just as bad. I always slept at my stop or any other place away from a lot of drivers. Of course I didn't have digital logs tho to worry about. Glad I quit driving otr back in 2006.
Tinky Winky says he doesn't care if it's Flair, Hogan, Legion of Doom, Goldberg, Degeneration X... Whoever! He just wants to get back to business, which is beatin' people up... and he ain't a hard man to find, tough guy! HOOO - OOOOOOOH!!! The Hacksaw Tinky Winky!
The Swift driver was supposed to swing really wide especially with the tandems all the way back (I personally would've slid them forward). As an ex Swift driver, even though I really wasn't ready at first, I've always been judicious. Timing and good judgment is a must for truck drivers. I became damn good after a few months. Never overconfident because I realized early on that truck driving is a perpetual learning experience.
It looks like they weren't even locked from the last pic. The handle was pulled out and the pin looked like it was in between holes. I'm guessing he rolled out that way and as he was taking the turn the tandems slid back not helping his situation
@@VengancejrThat's the first thing I noticed in that picture when Ike showed it. Next thought - why is the tandem handle pulled out??? I know its Swifty Swift🤣🤣🤣🤣
I drove for a lil over 18 yrs. The craziest thing i ever heard was a JB Hunt driver stepped out of his truck to close his dog box while going down road, cruise control on and fell off the side of the truck. I cant remember what year that was. I think in the 1990's.
I noticed that many of the white volvo mafia, when pulling into diagonal pull- through parking, such as rest areas, will stop so that the front of their truck is even with one of the trucks on either side instead of splitting the difference like you're supposed to do. So, in other words, they may stop even with the truck on their right, in which case, they've stopped way too far back, or they may stop even with the truck on their left, in which case they've stopped way too far forward. It's almost like their brain is not capable of understanding the concept of diagonal parking.
Last one...was that CT? Their rest ares are designed for 45' trailers. Reefer parked like he did because he didn't want what was done to his back end to happen to his front end!
MERRY CHRISTMAS and the HAPPIEST of NEW YEARS to the Boneheads (the GOOD ones anyway) at Bonehead Central from your friends at the household of your very favorite WildMan, the one and only, Danimal!!!!! I am so much looking forward to yet another year of the absolute INSANITY!!!!!
The biggest issue with Sears closing is the lack of SWIFT videos as that was their delivery trucking company. Of course that might be one reason why Sears closed.....
I just looked at the SWIFT truck when the narrator said, "Swing wide, its a friggin trailer." I have watch a ton of these videos and now I get where the saying came from!!
Those drivers they drive their trucks the same way they drive their personal vehicles, companies need to held them responsible for this type of irresponsible behaviour.
I love your channel, and just subscribed. Love how you poke fun at Swift, an oxymoron of the trucking industry. Not only are they slow, but they hire the worst drivers…trucker, who destroyed new trailer is Swift’s next contestant. Cringed as Amazon parked on RR tracks w/ arms down…my dad retired from CSX. Train engineers are more likely to die when trucks ignore signals, so it hit close to home. I have great respect for good truck drivers….definetly some great guys that are down to earth, worked at a trucking company in early 2000’s, they were family. If not for you, America would starve, especially since most businesses are JIT. Finally, I hope you and your’s have a Merry Christmas! God bless.
I've been out here on the road for the last 48 days and I am getting mad at every stupid thing people do right now.. I am at my last live unload the go home!!! Merry Christmas Everyone!
7:04 man! Rest areas used to be the safe space if you wanted some quiet, didnt wanna smell piss and didn't want your truck hit. I blame it on paid parking and poor design
Ike, it's not YOU making videos of Swift ... it's Swift, through their own bad driving, creating and contributing videos for you to share with the public. LOL
Aren't the railroad arms designed to pivot fwd and backwards in case there caught on something. Iv seen one just waddle back to center after it caught on a stack. Am I wrong?
One thing I notice about swift is their trailers be so full the tandems be all the way to the back many times maybe they need to stop getting loaded to the max they won’t have so many problems
First off merry Christmas Ike. And what I don’t understand is why are the trailers ending up in the ditches with all that real estate available to swing wide. Do these drivers not know how to swing wide??? Shame on the duck pluckin mess
The rest area there had a space open. I refuse to go into a rest area after 2pm. It's horrible if you can't get out even just going in to check for a space.
It happens a lot because malicious drivers got it in their head to pull other drivers' king pins at rest stops after some imagined slight. It's not an "accident" many times it's an intentional attempt to harm other people.
Maybe if ol’ Swifty Swift’s tandems weren’t slid all the way to the rear on a 53 foot trailer, his tandems wouldn’t have been in the ditch. The slide handle was still locked in the open position. These dummies just hook to the trailer at the dock and then just pull away, that’s it. You have to be smarter than the trailer, Swifty.
at 6:08 the swift trailer axles are CLEARLY not locked in... hes lucky he ran it off the road, he could've lost the whole tandem if he had to brake at high speed
Look, I’ve been driving for 30+ years. I’ve yes pulled some BoneHead bullshit but some of these people look like they were thrown into the truck yesterday! Wtf! No I never worked for Swift, Western,etc. I might be rated as a slob , but I’m not a pig. This is a crucial issue on the traveling public!
I dont let trucks go when on a country road. Gotta have common sense. If you want to go 10+ over on a country road, you'd better look ahead Forrest G. Why should we care more about Passing zones than speed limits? Don't take country roads or be prepared to do speed limit. You are captain of your ship. Make stupid decisions, get stupid prizes.
You know I have never in my personal vehicle or in a big truck thought it was a good idea to try to beat the train over the tracks. Seriously I’ve never even considered it and I grew up watching the Dukes of Hazzard. Rest areas there’s certain times I just don’t go if it’s past a certain time in the evening or before certain time in the morning, I do not go to rest areas for that very reason
Greetings from the uk ,over 40 yrs driving trucks ,retired this Monday and looking forward to it
I can’t stop I would miss the road too much. Merry Christmas!

Thank you for being a true professional something that's truly lacking out there nowadays
I do the same bro, it takes 2 seconds out of your day just to let em go.
That’s how us pro’s operate.
If you're driving a government truck, then you're probably being paid by the hour. So, take your time.
@@scudfarcus4343 I think he meant governed.
Just trying to maneuver through a rest area near Atlanta at 3am can be tedious. Amazing what drivers think a parking spot is nowadays…
Merry Christmas to all truckers
Thank you to all of you
You move the whole country
Thank you
Merry Christmas from a four-wheeler who used to work warehouse dispatch and hear all the stories.
Can you imagine being a safety-man for swift?!!! All that frickin paperwork, everyday!!!
Job security
JB Hunt, Schneider back in the day was just as bad. I always slept at my stop or any other place away from a lot of drivers. Of course I didn't have digital logs tho to worry about. Glad I quit driving otr back in 2006.
Imagine being the Swift safety man, defending your track record with the company.
If that bad the company would when bankrupt already instead the bought US Express for over $800M
The teletubbies fighting was priceless!
Tinky Winky says he doesn't care if it's Flair, Hogan, Legion of Doom, Goldberg, Degeneration X... Whoever! He just wants to get back to business, which is beatin' people up... and he ain't a hard man to find, tough guy!

Merry Christmas Ike and Bonehead Truckers Family! Stay safe on the way to the house all!
I guess them 23 days of no accidents with swift is history now 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I was thinking 23 minutes but maybe I am being too generous there, lol
It's my favorite company!
You are so mistaken! SWIFT never goes a day with-out an accident! It's unheard of! You can't make that stuff up!
Swift had his tandems moved all the way back not even locked in place 😂😂 of course that kind of driver gets in the ditch

Did the trucker pushing the pallet jack violate OSHA regulations?
at least 5 rules, not including having too clean socks!!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your family and thanks to all the Boneheads, without them, no vids
I can never get enough of, Swift is my favorite company. I giggle every time 😂😂😂
Merry Christmas to all truckers from Puerto Rico!!!

@5:45 reminds me of a warehouse in Kentucky, some company locations make the job harder than what its suppose to be 😅
Last one...was that CT? Their rest ares are designed for 45' trailers. Reefer parked like he did because he didn't want what was done to his back end to happen to his front end!
2:36 loading his truck with his shower flip flop and his shower cap
Four hundred bucks a week sounds pretty sweet. I may become a rock hauler. Merry Christmas, and keep supplying the weekly garbage.
Minimum should be 1500$ a week
Raising a RR crossing gate manually sends an automatic alert down the track and also can get local PD involved. Don't ask me how I know this 😎
Looks the it was glitching.
Did you even consider for a second that the gate was faulty and the fella with the radio in his hand is a railway employee ??
Nope I bet you didnt
This sounds hilariously exploitable.
MERRY CHRISTMAS and the HAPPIEST of NEW YEARS to the Boneheads (the GOOD ones anyway) at Bonehead Central from your friends at the household of your very favorite WildMan, the one and only, Danimal!!!!! I am so much looking forward to yet another year of the absolute INSANITY!!!!!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year one and all. Drive safe, be aware and above all family
If that guy pushing that pallet cart with slippers on Hurt himself I wonder if Workers comp would cover it 😮
that swift drivers truck identified as an rv. 🤣🤣🤣

Hey Ike, and all related to your staff......MERRY CHRISTMAS to you all from your sorta kinda snow Mexican.
Love it how you reference dak by saying “here we go”!! Merry Christmas!!
I just looked at the SWIFT truck when the narrator said, "Swing wide, its a friggin trailer." I have watch a ton of these videos and now I get where the saying came from!!
As always, another great video Ike.
Those drivers they drive their trucks the same way they drive their personal vehicles, companies need to held them responsible for this type of irresponsible behaviour.
Can’t believe my video made it on here 😂 knew I struck gold when I saw swifty swift trying to make that right turn lol
Gotta timestamp for us here, curious folk? 😅
@@buddycheck84 it’s the beginning where swift is trying to make a right turn onto the freeway lol
@@SadBoyM4 I know you musta been wtf but thanks man. I was deep in comments and wanted my fix. 🕯️🙏⛄🎁⭐👍 Have a good one brother!
Great videos as always Ike & merry christmas & Happy new year to you & your family
The guy didn't pull far enough forward so it gives the guy permission to just roll through without assessing if he can clear the trailers?! 🤯
HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO YOU AND YOUR FAM...GOD BLESS
As someone who got fired from Swift, I will gladly watch people shitting on them.
How do you get fired from swift ? Maybe I don’t want to know but you definitely had to fuck up badly
Fired? From Swift? Goodness, you must be a very special or dangerous kind of incompetent.
I was a trucker for 20 years from England class 1 never had a problem some of these idiots don’t deserve a licence 😂
IQ tests should be mandatory
That mustve been some transition, going from driving on one side of the wrong to the other, especially in a semi.

AND I THOUGHT SUPER EGO WAS GOING TO MOVE INTO 1ST PLACE OVER SWIFTS SCREW UPS
You should have some Swing Wide stickers for sell. So we can stick em Swifty Swifts door.
Blame the guys parked that you hit
Exactly! You don’t check your mirrors when turning?
7:04 man! Rest areas used to be the safe space if you wanted some quiet, didnt wanna smell piss and didn't want your truck hit. I blame it on paid parking and poor design
Hello Mr. BoneHead Truckers. GO COWBOYS !! I Am Wishing You and Your Family A Very Blessed And Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas, Ike!
Merry Xmas!!! Best of health and success to you and yours!
Where do I send your gift? Got you some flip-flops, I know how much you love em...
Looks like the tandem slide was pulled to unlock on the Swift trailer. Didn't even do a proper VI.
Ike, it's not YOU making videos of Swift ... it's Swift, through their own bad driving, creating and contributing videos for you to share with the public. LOL
Ahh, Swift's back at it again. Doing what they do best; After all, they _are_ Best In -Class- Crash
Aren't the railroad arms designed to pivot fwd and backwards in case there caught on something. Iv seen one just waddle back to center after it caught on a stack. Am I wrong?
Like Ike always said, The train 🚂 always wins.
Merry Christmas. I am not a trucker but I enjoy your videos.
Should be called the “the dumb drive amongst us”
There's the new title to a Driver Safety Education video 😊
At time stamp 608 Handel was pulled for slider pins on Trl . . Wheels slid back
Now I’m reminded why I left western express. The swift in the ditch was just trying to find a wheel chock to hold so he could slide his tandoms
Tribe Express is the new Swift.
Have a Merry Christmas and be safe everyone! God bless!
That's not how you supposed to do that big time truck driver , ow your in a ditch 😂😂😂
Ever pull into a rest area and cannot find a place to park in truck parking because there are about 4 or more rvs parked there?
Marry Chrismas from Sweden
The dude crossing the tracks... 😑 Bro... smh
I avoid rest areas (pickle parks) at night, nothing but a cluster blank
you dont need to be a rock hauler to be ignorant
just a cdl holder with a automatic endorsement
One thing I notice about swift is their trailers be so full the tandems be all the way to the back many times maybe they need to stop getting loaded to the max they won’t have so many problems
Excellent observation. It's all about the MONEY.
@@6lemans10 yeah….it’s probably Christmas for the drivers when they do get a light load
I drive for swift and it’s company policies that they are not allowed to book a load under 40,000 lb
First off merry Christmas Ike. And what I don’t understand is why are the trailers ending up in the ditches with all that real estate available to swing wide. Do these drivers not know how to swing wide??? Shame on the duck pluckin mess
They simply can't visualize what they're hauling, while they're hauling it..... I guess. 🤠 🎁⛄❄️🕯️🙏 Merry Christmas!
The rest area there had a space open. I refuse to go into a rest area after 2pm. It's horrible if you can't get out even just going in to check for a space.
If you drop a trailer, park your truck.
Unbelievable how much this must be happening.
It happens a lot because malicious drivers got it in their head to pull other drivers' king pins at rest stops after some imagined slight. It's not an "accident" many times it's an intentional attempt to harm other people.
Merry Christmas Ike!
6:08 tandem pins dont even look engaged. Was he trying to slide tandems in curve?
Merry Christmas Ike
MERRY TRUCKIN CHRISTMAS

Missed turn last night cuz broker calling me to ask 'Did you get unloaded?'
Should’ve told him no I’m taking it back to the shipper
@06:08 That swifty over the edge, didnt lock his slide pins, so he didnt know his tandems slid back most likely lol.
I saw it all at the railroad crossing
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR'S LOVE ALL YOUR VIDEOS
Those Swiftless Swift drivers should go back to being 4 wheelers.
MERRY CHRISTMAS.
I can't imagine how expensive swifts insurance is.
company is self insured
might want to remind good ole swift lock in his tandems...pro drivers always check them during pretrips and when they stop
NIce comments.... as aksed!! Merry Xmast to you all :)
Look, I’ve been driving for 30+ years. I’ve yes pulled some BoneHead bullshit but some of these people look like they were thrown into the truck yesterday! Wtf! No I never worked for Swift, Western,etc. I might be rated as a slob , but I’m not a pig. This is a crucial issue on the traveling public!
That final clip...the parked truck wasn't even in a parking spot. Insurance will not like that.
I dated a guy once who drove for Prime. He used to tell me it stood for "please remember I'm Missouri educated " haha😂
Anybody remember Bunny Rabbit from the Springfield mo pickle park? Paul

I was wondering if that guy that was filming why didn't he help direct the trucker backing up.
God I've missed the "favorite company" spokesperson!!!
Thanks for the warning I'll put My mask on before watching the video
nice comment.
S.W.I.F.T = stop wining I’m fucking trying
It’s hard to see the lines but I’d venture the car hauler was parked where he wasn’t supposed to be. The van trailer that got hit was in the lines
"Best in Crash"! 🤣🤣🤣💯💯💯
You know I have never in my personal vehicle or in a big truck thought it was a good idea to try to beat the train over the tracks. Seriously I’ve never even considered it and I grew up watching the Dukes of Hazzard.

I think we should give the shirts "swing wide its a friggen trailer" to swift !
Now I know why my sister never wanted to park her truck at truck stops. She would fuel, eat and go find somewhere else to park for the night.
Merry Christmas!
Happy Christmastime :D !!!
