    He is just a new inexperienced driver and has asked a lot of questions other drivers think all the time but don't ask. He'll be fine. At least he has the common sense to not totally rely on a gps unit.

    I don't think they would fire him just for being late, You'd have to be late a lot for them to want to fire you.

    Let's just say me being late was the highlight of being at that receiver. It only went down hill from there.

    Seriously the worst 24 hour period I've had.

    I laugh to calm myself down and realize I messed up and man enough to suffer any consequences, but the world isn't ending

    Should I cry n make up n lie n place the blame on someone else instead ?

    If you don't learn from it then you might as well cry and lie

    Of course not.I took that other post as you making a jokee out of it and not taking it seriously.But I see that's not the case so i'm sorry.Everybody has been late a time or two because they missed the place and has to go miles to find a place to turn around.My first load and in Canada I was late because I ended up on a farm road and had to go 25 miles just to turn around.Another load in Canada to an Amish farm I never did make my delivery that day I was spose to deliver because the directions was so wrong.Next day after searching I still couldn't find it.Finally stopped asked a mechanic lucky me he knew the family and I followed him.I would have never found it on my own..The road was no wider then an alleywhich was probably made by that Amish family and a couple miles.It was a farm surrouded by corn fields.My dog loved it there playing with the farmers dogs
