Almost got run over — again
1
I was driving up US HWY 70 in Las Cruces NM at 6:20 AM on 6/18/18 just after I-25 merges with the HWY. I was in the right lane doing the speed limit. A SWIFT driver (505704) in the left lane had a car approaching his truck and he came over into my lane almost taking out my Suburban (Kinda hard to miss a suburban) and I had nowhere to go. I slammed on my brakes and hit the horn and luckily the car in the left lane saw it and was able to slow down fast enough that I could swerve partway over or I would have been taken out by the back of his trailer. I don't understand what it is with these SWIFT trucks, do their drivers not get trained? I have never complained before but seem to have near misses with them frequently. and have watched them run people completely off the freeway. I have three family members that are truck drivers and none of them drive like these clowns.
