Yeah, but slogs would have prevented it...LMAO

 

make that 70k, sleep deprivation and posting do not mix

 

1890, to old to drive on

 

Yep
The Demand will be Supplied.

 

You think this driver was sleep deprived?could be but we'll never know for sure.my opinion says not reading signs but solely depending on GPS.my friend showed me a photo he took of a shaffer stuck in the ditch when He tried making a right turn on a snowy farm road not even plowed.he said it took three wreckers to get him out and my guess would be he followed his GPS or the companies directions.people needs to think for themselves sometimes but anymore they don't.

 

The sign on the bridge states 1880 on bridgefinder site.

 

My guess is a lack of prior route planning. Waiting to get loaded is the perfect time to break out the Rand-McNally, Google Maps and whatever you have and take a look at the safest route to get from point A to point B. Had this driver done that, she would have never wound up on that particular road in the first place. When you don't plan your route you end up "flying blind" by relying on GPS to guide you all the way, and God knows where it will end up taking you (sometime even the "truck-specific GPS" unit will get it wrong every once in a while).

After all that, you still need to occasionally get your head out of the GPS screen and take a look outside the windshield, because GPS won't tell you about all the truck hazards you're running into. For example, I drive a parking lot; even if Rand-McNally and my Garmin Dezl says the route is okay, they still don't tell me squat about all the overhead tree limbs hanging over the roadway ready to ding up all the cars on the top rack, nor do they warn anybody about all the high-berm RxR crossings ready to hang up a lowboy or low-riding car carrier trailer.

 

That's how I use to do it is plan my route while sitting in the dock and plan a second route for back up in case of detours.only time I used GPS was to compare that routing with my routing and when I was closee to the customer so I wouldn't miss my turn.GPS has made people real lazy they don't even read signs.I bet most dont even have an atlas in their truck.
