Another “i followed my gps and i have no idea what im doing” driver..

It is incredible some of the wrong directions I get from the GPS. I don't even want to say it is so goofy.

 

Typical Sharkey reject; not worthy enough to drive a shopping cart.

 

You know you’re f***** on the tow bill when the tow truck driver even says the road is sketchy as h e l l!

 

What gps is he following his phone with google or a truck specific gps would be nice to know but ether way common sense has to kick in at some point.

 

Definitely what’s wrong with trucking. He might not be old but time to retire if you can’t think for yourself.

 

Yea....gps is great and all...but sometimes its best to eyeball a road and admit "this is a bad idea" and back out and find a diffrent route. Every real truck driver has made that turn and gone "nope nope nope" and done the backup of shame.

That and even if you totally rely on gps. We have free to the public sat photos like this



And street views like this



And you can go to any state and find info on bridges and restricted routes like this.




Aint exactly rocket surgery to do basic trip planning.... yet that seems to be a lost skill anymore

 

Happens all the time, I-80 closes and google maps takes people down random county/forest service roads that no one belongs on.
