You won't believe what this trucker did after two slower trucks blocked his way for several minutes!! After honking his horn, flashing lights to no avail., this is what he did!!!
The best driving advice I ever got was from my drivers ed teacher 35 years ago: When people are driving like this, back off. You do not want to become part of their wreck.
Ella and Rusty, you are both right. I was really hoping our sweet couple was going to actually move over and stop on the right shoulder. Every reason to believe any contact between the three semis could block both lanes. Add 5-6 passenger vehicles.....you've got a multi-car injury pileup. I would have pulled over. Observed the craziness from a safe distance. And re-entered traffic after the kamikaze truckers' pass was completed or pileup was over. That frustrated truck should have called the highway patrol to notify them of that "blocking" action by the 2 semis. He can probably read their license plates from his close distance. Let the HP be the heavy.
The most amazing part is the cars closing in behind them, even though there is clearly a "possible situation"brewing. The intelligent thing would have been to fade back, giving themselves plenty of time and distance to observe/react to a bad event rather than begging to be apart of one. Remember people, it being "the other guy's fault" won't help you if you're killed.
@@drjohnleewilliamsiii I will say as a Cali trucker, fuck LA, and also, fuck (most of) Cali. in general. I'd prefer to drive in every other state but california... I regret being born in it but I'm glad that I was because I know exactly what the traffic conditions are like (90 percent of the time through general observation.)
The guy in the left lane shouldn't try and pass another truck if they're both governed at the same speed the Swift truck should have backed off so the passing truck on the shoulder could had passed on the left double driving beside another truck is legal however if one doesn't advance the guy on the right supposed to back out of it
Jeff Wang with Swift drivers it’s talking about the best flip flops to buy , to worst bridge they have hit , the most hit and run damage they can do in a truck stop ...🙄🧐
I drive a truck and never pass unless I can go significantly faster, in order to pass in good time. And if a truck is passing me that's taking too long, I drop speed and let him pass. It's the darned trucks are almost all governed at the same speed that's causing this problem. However, the truck drivers can use some courtesy to overcome this problem.
You're exactly right unfortunately I see this all the time.Another problem is is a trucker will go to pass me and he's really not going fast enough he Stays next to me for miles and then when he barely gets in front of me he cut me off. So on many occasions I just do the same thing I end up slowing down just to accommodate him so I don't get killed runoff the road.
Exactly! If i'm empty and going the same speed as the guy ahead, I'll pass using the hills where they have no chance of keeping up with me. Assuming traffic isn't keeping me from lane changing. Also, 4 wheelers are a huge problem too. They go really slow. The second they realize they are being passed by a semi they have this genius idea to either ride next to you or speed up so you can't pass. Then they slow down again and try and repeat that cycle. For that reason alone I wish my boss would remove the limiter. Only reason he doesn't is cause fuel costs. I'd love to see how far some 4 wheels are willing to go just to not get passed.
As a fellow driver I just want to say thanks because I'll do the same including if I'm passing on a hill and lose ground to the truck I'm passing. Tying up both lanes for miles just leads to stupid and dangerous situations like this.
@@murtag9571 One time I was pulling a trailer with my pickup and I just did not want to go over the limit. There was a truck that obviously wanted to go faster, but the opportunities to pass on the road we were on were not very long. I got on the radio and told him to pull out to pass at the next opportunity, and I would slow down and let him pass. He did, and I did. He thanked me and we chatted for a while until he was out of range. One other time I was going east on the road that goes to Eugene from Bend. I saw a truck going down the hill (west bound) and he was going very slow. A couple of miles further east there was a truck going west that was going way faster. I called him on the radio and informed him about the slow truck. He thanked me profusely. It was a very curvy part of the road, and it could have been dicey if he was going 50MPH and caught the truck going 10 MPH in the middle of a corner.
As a professional driver myself, I always bump my cruise control down a few mph when someone is trying to pass me and our speed governors are set close to one another. It doesn't cost me much time and it saves situations like these from happening.
You are actually the moron if you don't realize the swift driver had no obligation to go any faster while in the slow lane. That other truck on the left should have passed or go out of that lane.
technically it was both lanes, had any truck lost control the one on the left was gonna do as well. Only somewhat smart guys were cammers, but not so much to take even more distance. Then once the right swift backs off they stayed in a bad spot as the left swift went on to pincer the angry trucker along a lane, so now they had to get the f away from 3 truck lenghts of road
had the shoulder lane ended without warning which they do, that truck wd have been dragged into the ditch then caused a huge crash with all close vehicles; he deserves a dangerous idiot award
@@Lauren-vd4qe its pretty likely the guy passing on the shoulder knows that road and would know whether the shoulder ended. for truck drivers who do this for a living everyday, the roads get pretty familiar and he knows how to control his rig
You're full of shit. It was the trucker who was camping in the passing lane who was causing a dangerous situation. The other trucker was right where he was supposed to be and minding his own business. If you cannot understand this very simple concept then driving a car must be a very complicated endeavor for you and you have no business behind the wheel with that mentality.
@@SV_Z13 Actually, both swift drivers are in the wrong here. Firstly, if you know it'll take you years to pass another truck? You DON"T do it. Now if the passing driver decides to pass like a moron, you drop your speed by a mile or two. Doesn't matter what you drive, it's dangerous to be next to a semi for long periods. Even in heavy traffic / stop and go. I stagger myself so trucks are behind or in front of me. You never know when they need to lane change. If you are on the right there's the possibility they don't see you. As a truck driver I make every attempt to pass on the left and try an make it very clear that the truck riding the middle lane needs to move over and not look like a dumbass. The sensible ones move over but most aren't. That brings me to driver 3. Dumb move, but any person with even half a brain would immediately slow down and avoid the risk of becoming a sandwich to two semi's. Almost happened to me once going through a 3 lane construction zone. Doing the usual 5 over limit and here comes trucker 3 flying, and I mean flying, down lane 3 and couldn't wait 15 more seconds for me to get by. Had i not hit my brakes his trailer would have hit my truck as the lanes barley had the room for 1 truck so i was riding the dotted line to pass safely. Mind you there was no other traffic for miles behind us either.
@drew michael the couple kept a safe distance and they were trying to pass.... if they were wanting to go slower, I am sure they wouldn't have caught up to the situation. Traffic is bottled because of the truck slowly traveling in the left lane.... don't blame this adorable couple because some big rig driver doesn't understand traffic or is purposely messing.
I have seen this behavior on I70 through Ohio all the time. Two trucks side by side for mile upon mile and neither giving up. Now I drove 80 just the other week and everyone was courteous. Trucks passed when they needed and no one got trapped in like this video. It was actually pretty surreal.
Mergrew 01 that's to be expected. Most of the swift retards that haul some of our freight either have no teeth & have not showered in a few weeks or they barely speak english. Any company who hires shitbirds like that is going to have a crappy reputation.
ppl keep commenting about the truck on the left holding out the traffic but in most cases is the vehicle on the right that causes this mess. ppl have no idea how many slow trucks/cars would do 50 on the right and when somebody trying to pass they would accelerate and boxed out the vehicle on the left.
That's also a valid point. The moron in the left lane would get the blame by default, but sometimes it's those idiots on the right playing games. Never understood WHY THE FUCK!!!!
A company called Lee Way used to recruit heavier than just about anyone today, they would send out bus tickets to come to one of their terminals & "Learn how to become an OTR driver." I think that "Attitude"....Respect for others & an acknowledgement of courtesy towards what experience brings to the table is what's missing. I see the lack in so very many crafts from young people today.
So true😬 auto drivers don’t have a concept of how long it takes to stop one of those Big rigs. If they lose it & tip the 🤬is going to come flying right through your windshield☄️💥🔥
Swift Trucks are Governed at 61 MPH. Those two Swift Trucks had NO BUSINESS blocking the Interstate. The Speed Limit is CLEARLY Marked at 75 MPH. The SWIFT truck in the Left Lane had NO Business being there.
Terry Waters at the time this video was made, they were governed at LESS than 65. Swift company trucks were governed at 60 mph on the pedal and 62 mph on cruise control. cdllife.com/2017/swift-transportation-increase-cruise-speed-65-mph/
At least he wasn't JUST thinking of himself...He slowed the right lane down so traffic could get around...Very noble of him...You don't find many thoughtful truckers nowadays...They used to be the first to help...They've become more selfish like everyone else!!
@@tchevrier I came up with that idea through the fact that he got in front of the truck in the right lane and and slowed him down.. causing him to put on his brakes.. The truck in the left lane went on ahead and got in front of the trucker in question....and the cars sped on by...If he was JUST in a hurry.. he wouldn't have let the left lane truck in front of him...but would have kept on truckin' ...:)
@@Ms.tur.E. Yeah but unfortunately he wasn't thinking about how dangerous it was to pass on the shoulder, or how dangerous it was to tailgate a semi while driving a semi, or how dangerous it was to pull in front of a semi so closely and force him to hit his breaks. We've all seen how dangerous it is to break check a semi. He should have know that. Seriously, can you imagine what would have happened if he put a wheel in the ditch during that pass, or contacted the other semi. That could have been one nasty pile-up with a lot of dead bodies. Yeah, he probably was thinking, but its pretty clear he wasn't thinking it through completely. He had other options available. Flash headlights, get on the CB, call the Swift dispatcher, call the police, or.... And this is a big OR. Chill out and relax. the 5 minutes saved in travel time could spare lives.
@@tchevrier True on the dangerous....I thought the same thing...passing on the right is illegal here.. but if his wheel had gone off... It could have been disastrous... I don't know what options they have OR which ones that were used before he went around.....Seems like the two swift trucks could have communicated with each other and brought an end to the road block..
Heavier Traffic and few drivers return the courtesies, or even NOTICE that someone WAS going out of their way to be courteous. The Pros are tired after fighting traffic all day and night for a week at a time.
I did this today. Im not a truck driver, but I saw 2 truckers next to eachother. The one in the right lane didnt want to let the other trucker pass by. So I got infront of the trucker with my car on the right lane and forced him to slow down so the other trucker could finally pass by. The other trucker gave me a thumbs up. Im just like, youre all co workers, just respect eachother and let each other pass by. Sorry for bad english I try my best.
l'm in Canada, l've never seen trucks block the road that way. l've mostly observed truck drivers to be very courteous. l would give a huge thumbs up to the guy who went on the shoulder -- from a safe distance back! Love that he slowed the one truck down tho l know it was the one in the left lane who mostly deserved it. Much love for all the drivers who bring food and other essentials to southern Ontario!!
You are wrong on both counts. Truck on right should have let outside truck go around and the truck who passed on the shoulder is a total idiot and should have been arrested and not allowed to drive commercial vehicles ever again. I have over 18 years and 3 million miles driving a semi truck.
@@pn1457 you totally do not get what I was saying. The guy in the left lane need to put on enough speed to pass the regular Lane which is the right. I was complimenting the guy who managed to get by by doing something unconventional on the shoulder. Although not the safest maneuver! Anyway all trucks were not behaving very responsibly.
@@TraceyMush you made perfect sense. Truck in left lane had zero situational awareness, that's being considerate to not accuse them of deliberately blocking the road for everybody. left lane is for PASSING. for fun, do the math on JackHole pn1457, 7.7 hours a day driving, 7 days a week, 30 days a month, non stop for 18 YEARS to get 3 million. invalidates their "profeshunull opinion" what a JOKE. peace.
All 3 truck drivers should have their licenses pulled that was just stupid putting other people in danger where was the state troopers when you need them...
“Give him the thumbs up” “Give him the thumbs down” They are so sweet and cute. Their display of “road rage/aggression” is nothing like in Hampton Roads (where someone will curse you out, follow you home, and attempt to swerve you off the road) lol
ItsABriMoment Girl, yesssssss honey....I was stationed in that area and had to go to anger management 3 different times foolin' with folk! I'm that one that would follow a person home cuz they wanna play games with actual CARS🤣😂🙌🏾
No joke! Ignorant people don't understand that the driver that passed on the right put everyone on camera in real danger and was totally in the wrong. Self absorbed people like you don't understand that until there's a fatality. You two people in the car deserve a "thumbs down"!
I would have loved the hear the CB traffic. The lady says these truckers behind us are probably wondering what is going on. No lady, I’ll bet you hard money that someone was egging him on... Not thinking the idiot would actually do it!
Nothing more aggravating than a rolling road block bunching up traffic. No common courtesy on the road anymore. The safety gurus create near as many unsafe conditions as they claim to fix. Many states gave got away from split truck and car speed limits finding it unsafe ,while companies like this have governed down their trucks and states have raised interstate speed limits. 29 years on the road and have always felt to slow is just as dangerous as to fast.
Charles Vickers I drive a slow truck but agree 100 percent. The law should step in and overpower these insurance companies that coerce companies to limit their trucks.
No… the swift drivers were the complete idiots here, they drove miles and miles and miles blocking both lanes which creates a line of cars behind them…. Likely thirty forty or more, pissing most of them off. With that many pissed off people accidents are going to happen. LEFT LANE IS FOR PASSING ONLY…. If your truck is governed and you can’t pass, CLEAR THE EFFING LANE. The third driver knew this and pulled a blockheaded move to teach those idiots a lesson… and it worked. Both of those swift drivers need to stop driving, they’re a menace to society.
Many semi trucks are governed at 65mph... If a truck is struggling to pass I slow down... a lot of truckers wont... I understand your frustration... tailgating a truck is never a good idea! Car drivers scare me more than other truckers because of how erratic and impatient they can be... Stay safe!
Oh man! I LOVED the couple who were narrating! They are the salt of this earth! Both so sweet and genuine 🏆 “Give him the thumbs down when we go by” (🤣one of many gems throughout)! With SO much road rage, meanness and deliberate cruelty on the roads nowadays, it was quite refreshing to see the exact opposite in this couple🥇 Bravo folks👏🏼 😘
BT's are boss mm's lick my balls oh believe me, I paid union dues for the better part of 40 years. When it comes to working for a living, the only thing worse than union corruption is someone that thinks that reality absolves their scab guilt.
As someone who has lived in different parts of Asia, I find this hilarious at best. You guys need to see the world before freaking out over such little things lol.
You sound like a true fool. Because you live in a place where life is meaningless (yes some of us know how deadly the roads are in Asia) you think everyone else is silly for carrying about lives... Sit you barely civilized ass down somewhere and stay out of adult conversations.
We had an old CB radio. Dad took it with us on all the long drives. He had a long magnetic antenna he'd attach to the hood or the roof. We'd hear all kinds of crazy conversations. Dad used it to warn the truckers behind him that there was an accident ahead and everything was moving to the right lane so they wouldn't get stuck. We used it the first year we went to Disney world. My dad had his and my papa had his on as well. We'd talk back and forth all the way from Wisconsin down to Orlando. Fun times. Miss that old CB
I am a UK trucker and I see this a lot where there are only two lanes ....if truck is trying to overtake me I slow down and let it pass .....and not create a rolling road block.
Charles Rochfort same here. Got 2.5 million long haul miles in the States. If someone has a right to get by I.e lighter load or a bit faster govern then just let em by.
Charles Rochfort I do same but the Swift truck on right probably not even looking at his surrounding or back mirrors to see all the traffic behind them
I did something similar in Arkansas several years ago. I had just started an 1,100 mile drive home, and these two idiots in cars decided to block the interstate, driving side by side. I, along with an increasing line of drivers were trapped behind them, and no-one else would do anything. I worked my way to the front of the line, and when we came upon an entrance ramp, I used the acceleration lane to pass the idiot on the right, darted back in front of him and braked hard. The idiot on the left went by, and the entire line of cars weaved through the gap, most giving me a thumbs up as they passed.🤣 That whole line of cars then let me go right on by as I caught up with them. 👍 I was the hero that day. 😎
This is a true story, i know you will laugh. So one day I'm coming up I-65 going north out of Indy and there was a blockage just like this. For about 10 minutes nobody could get past 2 vehicles side by side holding up both lanes going 60 in a 70. So i weave my way through everyone and i finally get up there and it's not 2 trucks, its 2 older shuttle vans with stuff written allover the sides, i get closer and i kid you not! It says, "midget wrestlers from Houston" allover both vans! I died laughing, but neither one of them would move, they were swerving and acting up! So the next chance i got a clear shot, i passed them on the shoulder and yes i know better than that, but it had to be done. I didn't slow either of them down, i just kept it hammered and never saw any of them again on my way to Chicago.
The couple that videos this are fantastic and pure. Their version of road rage is a thumbs down, and even a thumb down concept seemed foreign to the lady. What beautiful innocent people.
You know, Im a trucker out of Ontario Canada. I see this shit happen everyday. Two trucks side by side with speed limiters fighting it out. I've seen cars do What the truck did on the shoulder but thats the first time I see a trucker do it. I was just praying He would make it and not get into an accident. That was very dangerous but He did get his point across, which is the same thing cars are saying. If you cant pass quickly, dont pass at all. Both Swifts are at fault here. The one on the left for even trying to pass and the one on the right for not slowing down a bit to let a coworker pass him more quickly. This is What speed limiters will do across all the USA If they become mandatory. Add ELogs and all hell will break loose. Ah the joys of Trucking today.
I think most larger companies have limiters. With smaller companies it's random. When they buy used trucks they usually don't bother taking the limiter off. I worked for a small company (10 trucks) and most trucks had random limiters. One was 63 (Volvo sleeper), other 73 (International daycab), two others (Volvo and International) were 67. Some had no limiter. Mine (Volvo sleeper) was 65 until they swapped the transmission out, then it had no limiter.
As a driver with a governed truck I see this all the time out here. And yes they will try to pass me going one mile an hour faster and hold up traffic for miles. I kick it back and let them pass me for why cause a backup over some stupid driver not caring on anybody else but themselves. But these new breeds of drivers out here could care less on anybody but themselves and this is what you get out here. No common sense.
That's not always true. My truck is governed at 68 mph and with the increase in the top speed for Swift and all the various companies I find it hard to pass these guys now because they are loaded heavy and slow down to 45 mph or slower on a upward grade while me and my fully loaded Peterbilt can do 68 on that same grade. Yet when I start to pass the truck for going so damn slow some owner operator/ungoverned mother fucker comes speeding at 100 mph and gets 3 inches from my rear as I'm quickly passing the Swift truck. Apparently taking five seconds to pass a Swift truck uphill is way too long a wait for of you other drivers out there and it pisses me off. WE'RE ON THE CLOCK TOO.
Driver you’re better than me I got tired of always having to slow down so people can pass me. That doesn’t make me any money. So I quit per mile jobs and only work hourly jobs. Oh life is so much better!
JUST LET THEM BY IF THEYRE GOING 1 MILE FASTER, ITS NOT LIKE YOUR GOING TO GET A BUNCH OF TRUCKS CATCHING UP TO YOU AT 1 MILE FASTER, UNLESS YOURE AN IDIOT YOURSELF THAT KEEPS CHANGING SPEED.
When I drove for Freymiller it didn't take us that long to pass a swift truck. And we sure as heck didn't have time to follow him. Great outfit to pull for.
Swift on the right should have slowed down to let truck on the left pass in order to let traffic go on through in the fast lane. I did that before when I used to drive as team driver with my husband. Being thoughtful and courteous is a good thing!
OMG - if I had been behind that truck in the passing lane, I would have gone ballistic! But that trucker passing on the right should have license suspended.
Yeah what happens is even if the truck trying to pass realizes he's gotta give it up, the cars fill everything in both lanes behind him and give him nowhere to retreat to if he decides to forget about it. He can slow and drop back, but they won't get out of his way and let him over....they'll just keep running around him on his right....
That truck driver was wreck less, no excuse for driving on the shoulder. No hopefully we all know the truck in the right lane should have slowed up to let the truck pass, that's called professional trucking, we have to be smart and safe on the rode
@Huma17 na, that swift truck on the left was holding the lane purposely....you can tell, because as soon as that guy took the right shoulder the swift truck noticed him and started speeding up....the issues probably started alot earlier then what was recorded on Camera, that swift truck was clearly trying to trap em, and that other swift truck was most likely in on it....just a little trucker road rage
An overwhelming display of stupidity by just about every driver in this movie. All the cars are too close, is this a competition or is everyone asleep?
Geoffrey Shipton I’d argue everyone indeed was stupid in this video, including the 'sweet couple'. They should not have put themselves in this dangerous situation. A transport passing on the right shoulder??!! All cars around these idiot truckers should have put their hazards on, and safely drove way slower to avoid being potentially caught up in a 3 transport collision from hell!! No thumbs up or thumbs down required. You've got video...send the video to Swift and the 3rd company, and keep yourself safe!!
That happened a lot in the late 90s When I was out there I even did what the shoulder driver did but I was more mad I slowed the right lane driver down to almost a stop
The dumbest part is the idiots in the cars don't back way the heck up but close in tight so they could be part of the wreck.
Its like their brain is the size of a walnut

When that semi overturns I would rather be back a few hundred yards
Michael Evans No Shit!! You got that right!!

Unbelievable stupidity.

Loooollll best comment
driver in the blue car got smart enough to realize trouble was brewing in the right lane
technically it was both lanes, had any truck lost control the one on the left was gonna do as well. Only somewhat smart guys were cammers, but not so much to take even more distance. Then once the right swift backs off they stayed in a bad spot as the left swift went on to pincer the angry trucker along a lane, so now they had to get the f away from 3 truck lenghts of road
Driver in that Prius was also stupid enough to break check a guy rather than switch lanes or stay back
Prius is stupid! Priss!
@@gia257 "well, acktuallly..."
As a former trucker, I would probably spent a full minute or so stopped on the shoulder before continuing on.
The guy passing on the right side deserves all the beers
had the shoulder lane ended without warning which they do, that truck wd have been dragged into the ditch then caused a huge crash with all close vehicles; he deserves a dangerous idiot award
Stupid ass swift drivers
@@Lauren-vd4qe its pretty likely the guy passing on the shoulder knows that road and would know whether the shoulder ended. for truck drivers who do this for a living everyday, the roads get pretty familiar and he knows how to control his rig
all 3 of these drivers deserved a swift kick in the ass.
He drives as though he's already had all the beers
Dude, who's grandparents are these? "Give him a thumbs up"

I wonder what’s going through minds of the car drivers that drive up the ass of an imminent accident?
"iF I taILGatE tHEm maYbE THey'Ll gO fAsteR!"
They are probably on their cell phone.
Wake up hunny! You ain’t never seen a wreck like this! lol
nothing
Was thinking the same thing
lol driver not mad, he just tired of bs and wants to go home, the 2 others just cause serious dangerous situation,
You're full of shit. It was the trucker who was camping in the passing lane who was causing a dangerous situation. The other trucker was right where he was supposed to be and minding his own business. If you cannot understand this very simple concept then driving a car must be a very complicated endeavor for you and you have no business behind the wheel with that mentality.
The only truck in the wrong is the one holding up the passing lane , the other swift driver is doing as he should
@@SV_Z13 Exactly.
@@TheGozalus that's what he said...
@@SV_Z13 Actually, both swift drivers are in the wrong here. Firstly, if you know it'll take you years to pass another truck? You DON"T do it. Now if the passing driver decides to pass like a moron, you drop your speed by a mile or two. Doesn't matter what you drive, it's dangerous to be next to a semi for long periods. Even in heavy traffic / stop and go. I stagger myself so trucks are behind or in front of me. You never know when they need to lane change. If you are on the right there's the possibility they don't see you. As a truck driver I make every attempt to pass on the left and try an make it very clear that the truck riding the middle lane needs to move over and not look like a dumbass. The sensible ones move over but most aren't. That brings me to driver 3. Dumb move, but any person with even half a brain would immediately slow down and avoid the risk of becoming a sandwich to two semi's. Almost happened to me once going through a 3 lane construction zone. Doing the usual 5 over limit and here comes trucker 3 flying, and I mean flying, down lane 3 and couldn't wait 15 more seconds for me to get by. Had i not hit my brakes his trailer would have hit my truck as the lanes barley had the room for 1 truck so i was riding the dotted line to pass safely. Mind you there was no other traffic for miles behind us either.
“Hold on honey, let me just give this guy a thumbs down”
Cutest shit ever 😭
This couple. .lol! They've been together a lonnng time!
@drew michael the couple kept a safe distance and they were trying to pass.... if they were wanting to go slower, I am sure they wouldn't have caught up to the situation. Traffic is bottled because of the truck slowly traveling in the left lane.... don't blame this adorable couple because some big rig driver doesn't understand traffic or is purposely messing.
@@mira2987 😂😂😂
I was thinking the same thing. Lol.
Those cars passing so they can get closer to a potential multiple 18 wheeler wreck! That's the craziest thing on this video. WoW
I have seen this behavior on I70 through Ohio all the time. Two trucks side by side for mile upon mile and neither giving up. Now I drove 80 just the other week and everyone was courteous. Trucks passed when they needed and no one got trapped in like this video. It was actually pretty surreal.
Swift advancing their reputation yet again.
Mergrew 01 that's to be expected. Most of the swift retards that haul some of our freight either have no teeth & have not showered in a few weeks or they barely speak english. Any company who hires shitbirds like that is going to have a crappy reputation.

"Now hold on a second hunny" best commentary ever
Mark Marra hahaha 😂
Just when I thought "what in the heck is he doing?"...he became my HERO. God bless that man.12/31/2019 Happy 2020 to all.
ppl keep commenting about the truck on the left holding out the traffic but in most cases is the vehicle on the right that causes this mess. ppl have no idea how many slow trucks/cars would do 50 on the right and when somebody trying to pass they would accelerate and boxed out the vehicle on the left.
That's when I drop back behind. If he does it again, I pass and gun it until I'm a 1/4 mile ahead. The only time I may excessively speed.
That's also a valid point. The moron in the left lane would get the blame by default, but sometimes it's those idiots on the right playing games. Never understood WHY THE FUCK!!!!
Two Swift drivers mad because everyone talks about how bad Swift drivers are..... so they prove everyone right.
THEFAITHFULPALADIN use to be the JB Hunt drivers
I've been a trucker for 6 years now, and swift drivers are straight assholes. It ain't no rumor folks!
TRUE TRUE TRUE,My relative's been truckers for 30+years and always said swift couldn't drive for shit.
A company called Lee Way used to recruit heavier than just about anyone today, they would send out bus tickets to come to one of their terminals & "Learn how to become an OTR driver." I think that "Attitude"....Respect for others & an acknowledgement of courtesy towards what experience brings to the table is what's missing. I see the lack in so very many crafts from young people today.

Ok you see a trailer passing from a shoulder and you get closer that’s really smart small car drivers
And they wonder how those multi car pile ups happen
its a beamer they have low expectations
I can't believe that those cars were so close to those tractor trailers knowing it was a precarious situation........ stupid on their part!
This stretch of road has LOTS of stupid drivers
BMW drivers... What can you say?
So true😬 auto drivers don’t have a concept of how long it takes to stop one of those Big rigs. If they lose it & tip the 🤬is going to come flying right through your windshield☄️💥🔥
its America, what did you expect
Welcome to Ontario.
Common sense rule to follow:
If there is a line of vehicles behind you and no one in front of you, then speed up or get out of the way.
Ai Hi stupid they cannot speed up the swift truck max speed is 62 mph
Not for most people anymore. Most have removed that from there head. It's all about emotions and being politically correct.
Then why do I see them going over 70 all the time?
@@chuasmare22 65 actually
They couldn't speed up , the one on the right had to slow down.
You have 3 whole minutes to react to a possible wreck. What do you?
These drivers: Get as close as possible!
Imagine that, two Swift drivers blockin' the boulevard...
Swift Trucks are Governed at 61 MPH. Those two Swift Trucks had NO BUSINESS blocking the Interstate. The Speed Limit is CLEARLY Marked at 75 MPH. The SWIFT truck in the Left Lane had NO Business being there.
You're full of shit. No trucks are governed at 61. Swift trucks run at least 65.
Terry Waters at the time this video was made, they were governed at LESS than 65. Swift company trucks were governed at 60 mph on the pedal and 62 mph on cruise control.
cdllife.com/2017/swift-transportation-increase-cruise-speed-65-mph/
Terry Waters not first person said this heard this from a couple Truckers .
Terry Waters got rekt lol
Swift trucks here in the state of WASHINGTON do about 64 to 65
Left Lane is for passing only. Pass and get out of the way.

Thing is those swift trucks both ca only do 60 lol so.
Rumble Evans Then they can do 60 MPH in the right lane and let the faster traffic go on!!!
@@wallacebell4311 I agree I'm just saying
@@wallacebell4311 quit bitching. You probably shouldve left earlier lmao
At least he wasn't JUST thinking of himself...He slowed the right lane down so traffic could get around...Very noble of him...You don't find many thoughtful truckers nowadays...They used to be the first to help...They've become more selfish like everyone else!!
I'm not sure he was doing a whole lot of thinking at all.
@@tchevrier I came up with that idea through the fact that he got in front of the truck in the right lane and and slowed him down.. causing him to put on his brakes.. The truck in the left lane went on ahead and got in front of the trucker in question....and the cars sped on by...If he was JUST in a hurry.. he wouldn't have let the left lane truck in front of him...but would have kept on truckin' ...:)
@@Ms.tur.E. Yeah but unfortunately he wasn't thinking about how dangerous it was to pass on the shoulder, or how dangerous it was to tailgate a semi while driving a semi, or how dangerous it was to pull in front of a semi so closely and force him to hit his breaks. We've all seen how dangerous it is to break check a semi. He should have know that.
Seriously, can you imagine what would have happened if he put a wheel in the ditch during that pass, or contacted the other semi. That could have been one nasty pile-up with a lot of dead bodies. Yeah, he probably was thinking, but its pretty clear he wasn't thinking it through completely.
He had other options available. Flash headlights, get on the CB, call the Swift dispatcher, call the police, or.... And this is a big OR. Chill out and relax. the 5 minutes saved in travel time could spare lives.
@@tchevrier True on the dangerous....I thought the same thing...passing on the right is illegal here.. but if his wheel had gone off... It could have been disastrous...
I don't know what options they have OR which ones that were used before he went around.....Seems like the two swift trucks could have communicated with each other and brought an end to the road block..
Heavier Traffic and few drivers return the courtesies, or even NOTICE that someone WAS going out of their way to be courteous. The Pros are tired after fighting traffic all day and night for a week at a time.
I did this today. Im not a truck driver, but I saw 2 truckers next to eachother. The one in the right lane didnt want to let the other trucker pass by. So I got infront of the trucker with my car on the right lane and forced him to slow down so the other trucker could finally pass by. The other trucker gave me a thumbs up. Im just like, youre all co workers, just respect eachother and let each other pass by. Sorry for bad english I try my best.
I would pay ten bucks to hear the CB conversation
you probably couldn't understand the swift drivers without a translator
777 pop What conversation? Swift don't have no CB. What a joke 😂
Good luck with that. It's cell phone crap these days.
The truckers behind this were probably cussing swift, just a lot louder than they already do.
And those stupid car drivers can't sense an impending catastrophe and they just kept on tailgating.
Right....I would of pulled over and waited this out!
Yeah, don't do taht lol. People rear end cars on the highway all the time. Just let off the gas and fal back
Sheep
Prius saw what was up though
Me too, I would have waited a bit...
l'm in Canada, l've never seen trucks block the road that way. l've mostly observed truck drivers to be very courteous. l would give a huge thumbs up to the guy who went on the shoulder -- from a safe distance back! Love that he slowed the one truck down tho l know it was the one in the left lane who mostly deserved it. Much love for all the drivers who bring food and other essentials to southern Ontario!!
If only everyone was as polite as canadians
You are wrong on both counts. Truck on right should have let outside truck go around and the truck who passed on the shoulder is a total idiot and should have been arrested and not allowed to drive commercial vehicles ever again. I have over 18 years and 3 million miles driving a semi truck.
@@pn1457 you totally do not get what I was saying. The guy in the left lane need to put on enough speed to pass the regular Lane which is the right. I was complimenting the guy who managed to get by by doing something unconventional on the shoulder. Although not the safest maneuver! Anyway all trucks were not behaving very responsibly.
@@TraceyMush you made perfect sense. Truck in left lane had zero situational awareness, that's being considerate to not accuse them of deliberately blocking the road for everybody. left lane is for PASSING.
for fun, do the math on JackHole pn1457, 7.7 hours a day driving, 7 days a week, 30 days a month, non stop for 18 YEARS to get 3 million. invalidates their "profeshunull opinion" what a JOKE.
peace.
All 3 truck drivers should have their licenses pulled that was just stupid putting other people in danger where was the state troopers when you need them...
One of the Swift guys wasn’t doing anything lol
“Give him the thumbs up” “Give him the thumbs down” They are so sweet and cute. Their display of “road rage/aggression” is nothing like in Hampton Roads (where someone will curse you out, follow you home, and attempt to swerve you off the road) lol
So true! The whole 757 is crazy lol. People take road rage serious down here!!

Lol, I'm from Hampton Roads. I'm from and still live there. Virginia Beach.
I am so happy I got away from there
They should have turned the camera around to show how much traffic was backed up behind these two and give an idea how long this was going on.
No joke! Ignorant people don't understand that the driver that passed on the right put everyone on camera in real danger and was totally in the wrong. Self absorbed people like you don't understand that until there's a fatality. You two people in the car deserve a "thumbs down"!
I would have loved the hear the CB traffic. The lady says these truckers behind us are probably wondering what is going on. No lady, I’ll bet you hard money that someone was egging him on... Not thinking the idiot would actually do it!
Nothing more aggravating than a rolling road block bunching up traffic. No common courtesy on the road anymore. The safety gurus create near as many unsafe conditions as they claim to fix. Many states gave got away from split truck and car speed limits finding it unsafe ,while companies like this have governed down their trucks and states have raised interstate speed limits. 29 years on the road and have always felt to slow is just as dangerous as to fast.
Charles Vickers especially when it’s two SWIFT drivers. Fuckin hell
Charles Vickers
I drive a slow truck but agree 100 percent. The law should step in and overpower these insurance companies that coerce companies to limit their trucks.
3 Idiots, the 2 Swift drivers blocking both lanes, but the other guy passing on the shoulder??? WTF??? Gives the rest of us a bad rep.
Can't believe I had to scroll so far down before reading a comment from someone with common sense.
I agree. He put alot of people in a bad situation.
No… the swift drivers were the complete idiots here, they drove miles and miles and miles blocking both lanes which creates a line of cars behind them…. Likely thirty forty or more, pissing most of them off. With that many pissed off people accidents are going to happen.
LEFT LANE IS FOR PASSING ONLY…. If your truck is governed and you can’t pass, CLEAR THE EFFING LANE.
The third driver knew this and pulled a blockheaded move to teach those idiots a lesson… and it worked. Both of those swift drivers need to stop driving, they’re a menace to society.

Man what I would do to be able to hear that cb radio conversation that went down between them. Lol!
You wouldn't hear much. Cb's are 20. century. Not many drivers use them anymore.
Strayhound Truckers still use them all the time. I have a cb in my car and when I turn it on while on the highway I always pick up a conversation.
Some do and some always will but it is not like it use to be.
We had an old CB radio. Dad took it with us on all the long drives. He had a long magnetic antenna he'd attach to the hood or the roof. We'd hear all kinds of crazy conversations. Dad used it to warn the truckers behind him that there was an accident ahead and everything was moving to the right lane so they wouldn't get stuck. We used it the first year we went to Disney world. My dad had his and my papa had his on as well. We'd talk back and forth all the way from Wisconsin down to Orlando. Fun times. Miss that old CB
CB's have more than one channel, moron.
I am a UK trucker and I see this a lot where there are only two lanes ....if truck is trying to overtake me I slow down and let it pass .....and not create a rolling road block.
Charles Rochfort same here. Got 2.5 million long haul miles in the States. If someone has a right to get by I.e lighter load or a bit faster govern then just let em by.
That’s nice of you. Usually I just keep the same speed but I won’t speed up if someone’s trying to pass.
Charles Rochfort I do same but the Swift truck on right probably not even looking at his surrounding or back mirrors to see all the traffic behind them
Thanks truck drivers! I'm not a truck driver myself but I got a lot a respect for ya and your job. Glad to hear y'all call it like you see it.
You, sir, are truly a professional driver. As a former driver, I give you my respect.
I did something similar in Arkansas several years ago.
I had just started an 1,100 mile drive home, and these two idiots in cars decided to block the interstate, driving side by side.
I, along with an increasing line of drivers were trapped behind them, and no-one else would do anything.
I worked my way to the front of the line, and when we came upon an entrance ramp, I used the acceleration lane to pass the idiot on the right, darted back in front of him and braked hard.
The idiot on the left went by, and the entire line of cars weaved through the gap, most giving me a thumbs up as they passed.🤣
That whole line of cars then let me go right on by as I caught up with them. 👍
I was the hero that day. 😎
This is a true story, i know you will laugh. So one day I'm coming up I-65 going north out of Indy and there was a blockage just like this. For about 10 minutes nobody could get past 2 vehicles side by side holding up both lanes going 60 in a 70. So i weave my way through everyone and i finally get up there and it's not 2 trucks, its 2 older shuttle vans with stuff written allover the sides, i get closer and i kid you not! It says, "midget wrestlers from Houston" allover both vans! I died laughing, but neither one of them would move, they were swerving and acting up! So the next chance i got a clear shot, i passed them on the shoulder and yes i know better than that, but it had to be done. I didn't slow either of them down, i just kept it hammered and never saw any of them again on my way to Chicago.
The couple that videos this are fantastic and pure. Their version of road rage is a thumbs down, and even a thumb down concept seemed foreign to the lady. What beautiful innocent people.
Thank you for your kind comments, Tony.
You know, Im a trucker out of Ontario Canada. I see this shit happen everyday. Two trucks side by side with speed limiters fighting it out. I've seen cars do What the truck did on the shoulder but thats the first time I see a trucker do it. I was just praying He would make it and not get into an accident. That was very dangerous but He did get his point across, which is the same thing cars are saying. If you cant pass quickly, dont pass at all. Both Swifts are at fault here. The one on the left for even trying to pass and the one on the right for not slowing down a bit to let a coworker pass him more quickly.
This is What speed limiters will do across all the USA If they become mandatory. Add ELogs and all hell will break loose.
Ah the joys of Trucking today.
Paul Beauregard are speed limitors like Govenors?!
zdoginterprise yes
Paul Beauregard ah damn well that's sucks! Do certain companies have that or the larger companies?
I think most larger companies have limiters. With smaller companies it's random. When they buy used trucks they usually don't bother taking the limiter off. I worked for a small company (10 trucks) and most trucks had random limiters. One was 63 (Volvo sleeper), other 73 (International daycab), two others (Volvo and International) were 67. Some had no limiter. Mine (Volvo sleeper) was 65 until they swapped the transmission out, then it had no limiter.
noname damn because I've noticed the bigger companies also go like 90 i lived in Texas and they flew by! lol

As a driver with a governed truck I see this all the time out here. And yes they will try to pass me going one mile an hour faster and hold up traffic for miles. I kick it back and let them pass me for why cause a backup over some stupid driver not caring on anybody else but themselves.
But these new breeds of drivers out here could care less on anybody but themselves and this is what you get out here. No common sense.
That's not always true. My truck is governed at 68 mph and with the increase in the top speed for Swift and all the various companies I find it hard to pass these guys now because they are loaded heavy and slow down to 45 mph or slower on a upward grade while me and my fully loaded Peterbilt can do 68 on that same grade. Yet when I start to pass the truck for going so damn slow some owner operator/ungoverned mother fucker comes speeding at 100 mph and gets 3 inches from my rear as I'm quickly passing the Swift truck. Apparently taking five seconds to pass a Swift truck uphill is way too long a wait for of you other drivers out there and it pisses me off. WE'RE ON THE CLOCK TOO.
Driver you’re better than me I got tired of always having to slow down so people can pass me. That doesn’t make me any money. So I quit per mile jobs and only work hourly jobs. Oh life is so much better!
JUST LET THEM BY IF THEYRE GOING 1 MILE FASTER, ITS NOT LIKE YOUR GOING TO GET A BUNCH OF TRUCKS CATCHING UP TO YOU AT 1 MILE FASTER, UNLESS YOURE AN IDIOT YOURSELF THAT KEEPS CHANGING SPEED.

Swift on the right should have slowed down to let truck on the left pass in order to let traffic go on through in the fast lane. I did that before when I used to drive as team driver with my husband. Being thoughtful and courteous is a good thing!
OMG - if I had been behind that truck in the passing lane, I would have gone ballistic! But that trucker passing on the right should have license suspended.
The Prius "hurried" to get in between the three truckers - like s/he couldn't wait. Common sense is indeed uncommon.
Whoever drives a Prius has some issues..
Ya and the bmw driver decides to tailgate them like it’s gonna make any difference
Yeah what happens is even if the truck trying to pass realizes he's gotta give it up, the cars fill everything in both lanes behind him and give him nowhere to retreat to if he decides to forget about it. He can slow and drop back, but they won't get out of his way and let him over....they'll just keep running around him on his right....

I'd stay way back if I saw this.
That's smart thinking
That’s because you’re a bitch bot

Way way back

Not sure what the Prius thought it was going to do.
That truck driver was wreck less, no excuse for driving on the shoulder. No hopefully we all know the truck in the right lane should have slowed up to let the truck pass, that's called professional trucking, we have to be smart and safe on the rode
Love the wife "Give him a thumbs up..." 👍👍
Forget the the thumb
That calls for the bird
@@phillipstuart3318 I know I was thinking these are really good people to just "thumbs down" and not let the "the bird" fly up... 😆
love the wife also
🤙thumbs down! Ok now 🖕thumbs up again!🤣
the Swift truck on the left is the trouble maker,he had no business being in the left lane
@Huma17 na, that swift truck on the left was holding the lane purposely....you can tell, because as soon as that guy took the right shoulder the swift truck noticed him and started speeding up....the issues probably started alot earlier then what was recorded on Camera, that swift truck was clearly trying to trap em, and that other swift truck was most likely in on it....just a little trucker road rage
An overwhelming display of stupidity by just about every driver in this movie. All the cars are too close, is this a competition or is everyone asleep?
Geoffrey Shipton I’d argue everyone indeed was stupid in this video, including the 'sweet couple'. They should not have put themselves in this dangerous situation. A transport passing on the right shoulder??!! All cars around these idiot truckers should have put their hazards on, and safely drove way slower to avoid being potentially caught up in a 3 transport collision from hell!! No thumbs up or thumbs down required. You've got video...send the video to Swift and the 3rd company, and keep yourself safe!!

That happened a lot in the late 90s
When I was out there I even did what the shoulder driver did but I was more mad I slowed the right lane driver down to almost a stop
And you two get a thumbs up from me for the amazingly cute commentary! I imagine y'all commentate to one another on RUclips videos the same way.
The best part of this video is the couple's commentary, especially the wife's gentle voice LOL
That guy is one crazy ass trucker!!!👍
The white car, "I want an up-close view to a really bad idea!"
I'm pretty sure that Swift driver retired in shame after getting that thumbs down. RIP
HAHAHAHAHA, nope, they were just being Swift drivers. I see this on I-5 all the time.
Bwahahahahahaa

This should be a movie! The action, the suspense! Omg, the ending was absolutely incredible! I sure hope a Part 2 comes out for this amazing thriller!
