Question #4

True or False: Per Swift policy, you may talk on the phone while driving as long as you are using a hands free device.

Last week we talked about how far a vehicle will travel in 8 seconds at 60 MPH. The answer is 704 feet or about 234.7 yards. That's over 2 football fields! Be safe out there everyone!

Question #3

In February we talked about having an 8 second following distance. How far will your truck travel in 8 seconds at 60 mph? Remember there are 5280 feet in a mile or 1760 yards in a mile.

Question #2 was about this months safety blitz topic. Aprils was Delivering a better life to our drivers.

Question #2

Alright everyone, time for the second question. This one will have you talking with your driver leader to get the answer.

Question #2: Ask your driver leader what the safety blitz is for this month is. Write down the topic and who you spoke to.

The answer to Question #1 was Get Out And Look. If you don't have a good line of sight to where you're backing up, it's a good idea to get out and visually check to make sure you aren't going to hit anything.

 There were a lot of creative answers (not turned in) to this question that really cracked me up.

Give Out Angora Llamas!
Goats Out And Leaving!

There were quite a few more that really made me laugh.
