That little mistake going to cost more than couple of coins. :confused3:

Around here, SWIFT stands for Slow Wagon In Fast Traffic.

It's on Netflix. The early shows were better ones. The 3rd or 4th season was pretty bad, people acting for the camera.

I agree. It seemed more real in the earlier seasons. "reality shows" always want "drama" and personal interaction. Pee on that, just show the wrecks and the solutions.

Now they are merging with Knight Transportation. Actually, rejoining of forces. Randy Knight was part of the original buy of Swift meat packing's trucking operation that now is Swift Transportation. They are just getting back together. I am sure quality will not improve.

I bet that was nowhere near how he thought his day was going to end!

Is that our flag I see flying half way down the embankment? If so, what is it doing there?

I'm not about to rag on the poor truckie for misjudging the turn onto that bridge.

Now, for real entertainment... imagine driving a semi up or down St Marys Pass, here in Tasmania. This is the pass I take every time I need to go from St Helens to the Big Smoke (Launceston, Hobart) or to Longford; where my tractor dealership is. The speed limit is predominately 60km/h and you bloody well do 60km/h because the only thing keeping you from going off the road and down the sheer-cliff valley are those little metal posts, strung with wire rope, acting as a barrier.

The reason I bring this up is that I constantly see areas where several metal posts have been pushed over by the semis using the pass.

Oh, and the pass was originally built (carved, more likely) by convict labour from 1843 to 1846.

This is a video of the pass. It's quick because it was a closed road for the Targa Tasmania Rally: Targa Tasmania 1997 - St Mary's - YouTube

Enjoy!
