    The England driver who went into the parking garage did it at Salt Lake City International Airport roughly four miles from England's corporate office... Couldn't have happened in a better city with the publicity... Lol

    This has actually happened to me before, just not that bad. And it was a golf cart path.

    I was at a golf course for the first time at like 1 am to clean their grease trap and it was dark as hell. I was weaving through the maze of entry roads trying to find the trap, and the road I was on kept getting smaller and more narrow, and after about a quarter mile in I realized I was on the course on the cart path. Luckily it came back to a parking lot about another 1/8 of a mile later.

    Some of these places they send us to are a cluster ****.

    Hauling cars for private parties is no different. A lot of my pickups end up being in residential neighborhoods where, even if I could fit the truck, I'd still have to contend with trees over the roadway screwing up vehicles on the top rack. There's also the issue of having virtually nowhere to safely park the car carrier in a place where I can load/unload without impeding traffic or anything like that. In a lot of cases calling the customer does little good: they don't drive semis, nor will they have the first clue as to what you are driving and the difficulties associated with it. They can tell you how to get their 4-door Toyota to the house but totally forget that you're driving a 75-foot long vehicle which can get up to 14 ft high depending on the load.

    That's why my smartphone and laptop, plus Google Maps (satellite view) have become my go-to tools. Having that bird's-eye view of the situation I'm about to get into really helps a bunch.

    Yes, I'd love to know how he wound up there, too. That picture presents so many more questions than answers...
