    Back when I used to run heavy wrecker it was #### like this all the time.
    Vans hung up on concrete poles, trailer tandem’s in the ditch, stuck in neighborhood cul-de-sacs.
    Nothing surprises me much anymore.

    To be fair, he was coming out of the Miller Brewery and the Marquette interchange was REAAAALLLLLLY screwy, pretty easy to get onto a road you're not supposed to be on. At one time that was a real road, and what he wanted to do isn't immediately obvious - cars screw it up all the time. Heck, I lived three blocks from there and I usually missed the turn.

    That's as generous as I can be. At a certain point a man needs to stop and take stock of his life choices.

    This is also why I'm against GPS auto rerouting. I want it blatantly obvious I screwed up and that the GPS is about to do something "interesting ".

    Another clown helping to make sure truck drivers continue to be viewed in a negative light. Blaming the GPS for his own ignorance is way past its expiration date. Further, this deal will likely cost all PTL drivers their $12.74 dividend check for this year. :rolleyes:

    That's one hell of a driver there. He actually completed the turn.

    When I first glanced at the photo I thought now that's the way to QUIT!
    I thought he was brilliant. Alas, just another idiot.
