I have had EVERYTHING fail. Sunspots will KO a GPS. Cell phone coverage failure. GPS cannot recalculate fast enough. Dispatch has head in arse. Customer is a Braindead idiot. No one answers a phone. Road atlas isn’t detailed as needed. Truck is too freakin big to get to customer. State sent me on a route with a bridge out/road was closed for a parade.
See, the danger comes in when you have one method of doing the job. The more methods you employ, the better the odds that you will not miss.
Directions?

I have never seen a thread go so sideways from the OP.. JMO.. but my personal answer to the OP.. Is because some drivers are lazy and can't read a map because reading a map requires some effort & thinking .. They just are wanting someone else to do part of their job for them
BTW ... I'am 1 of the guys that use to have stop and call for directions long before there were cell phs & GPS I also know to to read a atlas & map.. and can write down directions on paper while talking on a pay phoneLast edited by a moderator: Apr 13, 2021
