    Not really sure how that helps. Maybe going foward it will change how he plans the trip.

    So someone 1000+ miles away will know about a road closure? :eek:
    Yes, it's not a concern to Target, I'm sure....

    It's called life. It's called trucking. And both life and trucking sucks sometimes.
    There are times when being late is completely unavoidable. But this is not the consignee's problem, it's the trucking company and the driver's problem.
    Crap happens. Deal with it.

    And with today's technology unless it literally just happened you will know about it. I've gotten traffic advisory reports on google maps about an accident literally 5 miles behind me.
