    I used to live near there and I've been over that road many times on my motorcycle. It is clearly marked and there is no way anyone should be there in any kind of a big truck. I'm not sure which direction he was trying to go, but my recollection is that coming from the Sonoma end it's so tight and steep right at the beginning that there's no way I would even try to make the turn from Highway 12.

    Do the big companies like AP give you any routing or I wonder if he has a GPS that routed him there?

    He obviously has no local knowledge.
     
    Friend and lual Thank this.

    He was probably providing LIN to one of the many wineries nearby. Didn’t bother to ask other drivers about routing and typically AP doesn’t provide it. Sometimes drivers come from other regions to help during peak times and that can be another can of worms.

    Trailer is placarded for CO/2. I don't recall any of the wineries I delivered to using nitrogen. I also can't remember where AP's CO/2 for the area came from.

    I think you are right about the driver coming from out of the area. I wonder how much trouble the dude is in. He really should have seen what was happening and just stopped.

    Oh I was assuming it was LIN as I use to run some up there for the winery’s. Didn’t even notice the placard, well at least caught it before it was too late.

    I've been working at Linde for about half a year now and definitely know what you mean by the weirdness working here, I'm supposed to be issued a travel card since they can send you out of town but so far nothing for some reason, I've actually had to spend my own money while traveling to pay for luggage, Ubers, etc. I've had to use my personal vehicle constantly for work as well.

    First time I've ever had to do that at any company I've worked for.

    That’s crazy but I’ve heard AG is like that to with the smaller yards.

    Wait, what?! It took linde 2 months to get me my card. I had to fill out the reimbursement sheets until then. I still mess up and pay for truck washes with my own card, becasue I'm an idiot and I forget lol. I have $400 in wash receipts sitting in the junk mail basket in my kitchen.

    I don’t mean this in any bad way, or any way to start an argument but it’s shocking to see a company like Linde be so disorganized with truck maintenance and whatnot, while still being so strict with drivers.
