Seems like I see Swift trucks cause a disproportionately high amount of clusterfricks on our highways. Do they hire shittier drivers?

I have never seen a WalMarks truck in an accident.

That's because the trucks all have Walmart on the side. You'd think they would've spelled it correctly by now.

There aren't many wamrts trucks on the road nowdays.
They contract that shite out to the lowest bidder.

Swift, Werner, Schneider are just a few of the mega carrier's. They are the Wal-Mart of trucking companies. They haul cheap freight. Get government grants to put guys through cdl school that they hire, pay them shite wages, treat them like shite because they know most are desperate for money.
Its a scam and most of the guys aren't qualified to drive a Volkswagen let alone a 80k pound hunk of metal

Drivers are hard to find now, no one wants to be away from home anymore and the job really is dreadful. I hate my commute, can't imagine spending most of my day in it.

To be perfectly honest,If you see a wrecked truck,odds are,he was trying to avoid killing some dumbass driving a car.

The big company drivers are usually the least experienced though, and don't really know how to handle situations as well.

Swift has 16,000+ trucks. Schneider has 12,000+. Werner has 10,000+.

So, of course, they will have more accidents just because of the numbers of trucks that they have on the road.

Some industry studies say that up to 75% of semi/ car accidents are the fault of the 4 wheeler.

Well you are correct, but per miles driven they are all the worst, and it's not close.
They will put anyone behind the wheel of their trucks, and when that one fails there is another warm body coming up
