I feel sorry for you brother and glad that you are okay. I was also a ex driver for swift but only lasted for 5 months and it's my first OTR driving career and first company. Got into an accident last Jan 7 of this year due to snow crash. Truck slips and lost control and trailer jackknife blocking the I-15 highway (no other vehicles involve). Was on my way to Payson, UT to deliver empty plastic bottles. After the accident. Swift fired me on the spot. I was so hopeless and helpless because I was in the middle of nowhere location. Tried to call swift to ask not to abandon me and send me a driver that can pick me up just to get me to a closest town or city with transportation but swift just ignored (they are so heartless) .I was totally abandoned by swift and staying in a motel for 3 days paying bills out of my pocket while figuring out how to get home safely. When I left the motel at 9am I was asking for vehicles help but none doesn't want to help or give a ride. With the help of a good samaritan bus driver I managed to get to St. Georger UT and took the bus there. It was already 9pm evening when I found the person that will solve my sufferings and problem. (Thank you that man I owed him my life) In this experience I got traumatized here and I promised myself I will not go back in the trucking industry anymore. Now I will be starting to do city job that deals with low income earner and retirees. Wish you the best luck brother. Never lose hope ❤❤❤

Gods grace and mercy Dez. So glad you were not hurt or worse. You have kids and they need you. God allowed things to happen for a reason....ijs

Aww man!! Dez thank God you didn't get hurt 🙏 those beautiful kids of yours would have been devastated. God is good all the time 🙏

Wow! Thankful you survived this accident. Many blessings to you.

Glade your ok bro 💪🏾💯

That is so scary, so glad you are okay and safe. My uncle a few years back was in a trucking accident he never showed up to his destination and my aunt couldn’t get ahold of him and had to call hospitals in every town till she found him. He was thrown through the windshield and had to be in the hospital for months but healed and was okay 100% thank god it was so hard they had to move to that town and leave the house they were renting at the time. Definitely not worth your it at all. Again so glad u are safe and home now.

Omg😲 I'm glad you're doing ok! I'm late seeing this video... that is so scary...

Darn DEZ. Happy you are ok. If you do go back to warehouse you will work up to supervisor in no time. Then you will tell others what to do. ❤ Be patient; Your journey will make you stronger.

Hope you ok brother i be worried about the weather myself. And accidents too

Glad that you’re okay bro ✊🏾🖤👑 Stay encouraged.

Keep pushin' dawg! Just tell them you don't feel safe when driving in snow or ice, and just park. When you're relatively new, you won't feel the tail jacknife until it's too late. I'm glad you weren't on a mountain. Always slow down, especially when the temperature dips into the 30s.

Wow!! Glad you made it through that

Glad you’re safe bro but always remembered it don’t worth your life to drive in an unsafe road. Always park in a safe haven. Keep trucking life has much more to offer to you 💯

2nd year of trucking, bobtailing in heavy rain Chillicothe, Ohio on way to see a chik. Slid thru a yellow light that turned red, spun around and layed it over. Didnt get fired. Got a wreckless driving ticket. I learned that bobtail can be more dangerous than being hooked to a trailer that holds ur truck down. 29 yrs later still rolling. Kp trucking, driver. U can do this. Swift not it tho. Chk other companies. Bad weather, especially snow, drop speed or just park. Even if local, its $ out there for u. Glad u made it out ok. Stay up bruh

So glad you’re okay!! 🙏🏼

glad you are ok and not injured. 🚚

You will be alright my brother.love from India

Damn Dez, I’m so glad they you’re ok. I can’t believe that you weren’t hurt worse. From watching your videos I never would’ve known. Keep safe for your beautiful family Dez. How are you Kiara doing?

Sorry that this happened. Thank God you weren't hurt. You had footage couldn't you have fought it. I guess they would feel like if you were vlogging, that you weren't paying attention. God is good!!!

Glad you’re ok ! 🙏🏾

Glad you’re safe & not having control over that big of a vehicle would definitely shake me up as well!!! Swift employee here but I’m definitely not here to judge!

Come on ppl who care !!! That is his business I’m so happy for you god bless ya

Omg glad your ok god has other plans for you ❤

Man this hurt my soul. I’m genuinely happy you walked away from this crash. Don’t let it discourage you you can still utilize and leverage your cdls without driving

I was #1112 out of Gary Indiana, Flatbed division. It was intense 😳 to say the least. I ran 3 / 4 weeks out and 2 days down. Ran all kinds of weather... not for the faint of heart 🥵

I haven’t watch the video yet but I’m glad u still here to tell the story !Your children need you bro🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Wow 😮 how they gonna fire you after an accident thats insane, but glad you’re okay! These companies don’t care about their people and it’s sad.

Ain't nobody asking who the heck was that woman Des????

Did you got rear ended or you didn't steer into the skid .?

Were you recording while driving?

my driver leader failed to report my speeding ticket twice after telling her about it. 5 months later they let me go because it was never reported

Damn glad ur safe Dez no job is worth your life

Des one door closes another one opens your still needed on this earth you have alot more to accomplish

Glad you are alright. ❤❤❤ these jobs dont gaf

I thank God that you okay.

Dad gotta take care of dad !!❤ family straight and now it’s your turn .

When snowing out, its best to keep both hands on the wheel. Not one hand out the window recording.

I got a bad story with knight and their equipment went out and serviced their trailer was in the rain for about 6 hours many people were waiting for their trailer and they took many months and many phone calls to get compensation ive never work for them ever again its hard enough getting jobs and then they take over 10 months for a payment.

Glad you’re okay!

Hey Dez im glad you're ok

Dammm brother glad you ok. What happened was it from the ice on ground or did u get tired? If you dont mind me asking

😮Yeah! You could've been seriously injured or worse. And you did tell them that you were concerned about driving in the bad weather....😐😑I'm glad you're okay. I'm sure your babies and your family are as well. Moving forward. You been there, done that. Warehouse work or whatever you decide as a job or career, I'm sure you'll make the best financial choice for yourself and the kids. Blessings, Dez.💙

at least you went out with a bang! btw u got flip over ONLY with a tractor?

Blessings to you and surviving. But atleast l consider us express/ Variant

Are you okay bro? What happened with the accident?

Glad your ok bro I'm a truck driver in the UK texas is a fantastic state, we have been twice on vacation. Good luck for the future buddy i hope you find whatever you're looking for God bless you bro, Kind regards Arthur United Kingdom 🇬🇧

I want to share with you, when you have severe weather warning like the one just had , should reduce your speed to 1/3 and come to complete stop. Because of ice on the road can be dangerous. I also want to share that you don't have to give up driving after what happened, I experienced similar situations but didn't give up due to something like this or other that you have no control over. Like Timex says " You take a licking and keep on ticking.".

Some Swift recruiters sometimes ditch or leave to hang dry, for various reasons not to hire a new driver and at times want to toy or play games .

Good luck with getting a trucking job with a rollover on your record. I heard it's really hard to get one with a rollover.

So Are you done trucking? Hopefully swift won’t hurt your career, but most likely they will and that’s going to hurt you finding another trucking job for awhile. Keep trucking man, it’ll get better and it’ll be rewarding at the end trust me.

Wow, I'm so glad you are ok. That could have been worse if you had your trailer attached.

Good Luck to ya

You were definitely going too fast broski, can't blame them for letting you go, even in rain let alone a snow storm you can't drive like its a normal day. At least you came out with only some scratches, coulda been worse.

❤❤❤❤

What’s the name of that book 👀?

Omg Dez!!!! I’m glad you’re okay ! I would go after them still !

Did you get your class A suspended?

What speed were you @ please?

the main thing ur still dont let get you down just pick yourself back up youll find a new job good thing nobody was hurt misstake you made if the roads were bad and you did not feel safe should just shut it down but youll be ok youll get another job company would not fire you for 1st accident would put you thur bad boy school and put you thur smith system and would gave you points on your safety record and prob send you out for more training but would kept your job for 1st accident being nobody was hurt or killed good luck on getting a new job dont give up on trucking just get back into the saddle

Keep trucking driver !

What caused the accident? I couldn't tell.

Holding a camera out the window. Listening to a podcast lol

If you think of Driving again, you should apply for Western Express.

get your time and get local- local is up to 35hr...

Whoa, that hail though!!! And omg so glad you are alright!!.And its plenty of work out there you'll find whats right for you..aanannndd what audio book was that you were listening to??

You mean you got into an accident while driving too fast on the snow and filming at the same time??🤦

Never drive in weather like that if you have doubts just don’t do it the company should have reached out to you seeing your newish and in there truck so F them yk get back on road it will work out I promise

Did they fire u because of video

My plan is to get 3 months experience with Swift and bounce.

Come back to H‑E‑B Bro

How was it bro?

I went to driving school with a great guy that went with swift. In the first week he hit a low bridge.

6:08 👀 👀 new girl 21:04 accident

Never use google Maps for directions because it could lead you to no truck routes been there. I learned my lesson

Damn bro what happened did you slide?

168 hrz a week fo 1000$ iz it really worth it .

I been trucking for 4 years professionally and I truly analyzed this video from before you crashed until after. You paused and edit it out when you were on a local road and then you crashed on the intrastate. You should of reduced your speed . You have NO trailer nor any weight except your tractor and you have a higher center of gravity. On slick icy roads you should always reduce your speed . You are the captain of your ship and are 100% responsible for the operation of that tractor. Im glad you walked out of there alive with all your limbs intact but man this was 1000% your fault. I wish you luck in your future endeavors but you cant blame the company big dog. I understand SWIFT aint the best but this was an avoidable accident

You did not use your head after the accident. You was supposed to get in an ambulance and go to the hospital and file a workers compensation claim. You would have still been getting paid a percentage of your pay, and then a settlement later. If a driver ever roll a truck, he or she will be fired.

Omg! Desmond!

Bro I’m not defending swift but you did rollover that is your fault and at fault accident they will obviously fire you for that

Mr Swifty Swift

Get u a attorney

I don't see where swift is the bad guy, they didn't wreck the truck.

Do they do hair follicles testing

You don’t get experience when you crash bro, this won’t help you

Come to Mississippi and do flat bed for jordan, come in the door at .57 a mile, 1100 for orientation, and 1100 for the 6 weeks of training

iPhone 🤢🤢😂

Bro Everybody's Know Swift Is Not Good.. You Go A TDI Truck Driver school they good.Not Swift

Defently purposely made for view, now as a professional detective here in LA if i was in a different state sure i wount waste my time investing him at all, im pretty sure any other state other than LA won’t even make 300K a year ever, just hopefully he get the views he wanted and the money and fully seek KZfaq Carrie and leave the road safe for others and follow you passing not hurting others or intent to do so in search for views please thanks.

You got experience crashing trucks 😂
