    Getting lost as a truck driver is sort of a nightmare in the right place, I think I have a "getting lost" phobia myself and use laptops, gps, google, qualcom directions, all of them when going somewhere new.

    i get lost pretty often, seeing as how almost every single day my company sends me a wrong address, or a correct address with the wrong town listed....its ridiculous

    if you ever get lost...??

    just back into the docks at a building that has nearly the same name as what you were looking for, drop the load and get outta dodge...let them figure out what happened....play dumb like a typical truck driver.
