` (exact text provided) - Must be at least 400 words total in the body. - Must weave in SEO keywords: "truck driver jobs", "CDL-A driver", "owner-operator", "trucking companies hiring", "OTR truck driver", "FMCSA regulations", "ustrucker.info" (pick 3-5) - Tone: Direct, practical, authoritative, third person, no AI-sounding phrases. - Source is very brief. I need to expand it into a full article while staying grounded in the facts provided, but I can add realistic industry context without inventing false specifics about the event itself. I'll stick to the hydrant incident, Swift, date, and typical industry implications (safety, infrastructure costs, driver training, FMCSA compliance, etc.). - I must ensure every paragraph contains real facts from the source. The source only gives: Swift truck, backed into fire hydrant, hydrant exploded/water sent skyward, date Sept 10, 2026, video exists. I'll weave these facts throughout. - I need to be careful with the "every paragraph must contain real facts from the source" constraint. I'll make sure each paragraph references the incident, the company, the date, or the video footage. - Word count: >
