Don't follow GPS as the word

I got stuck on a pitchblack road in Montana.As I was leaving the trk stop I turned the wrong way.It was extrememly dark drove a good 20 miles before I finally found a place to turn around but before that I parked it on the road a few feet from a driveway and a road across the stree tbecause it was so dark I couldn't even see my hands.I got out to observe the drvway and road to see if it was big enough for me to pull in and do a straight line back to turn around and it was.I do agree when you said stuff happens but in this industry a lot of the stuff that happens shouldn't have happened and is inexcusable.Many times there is no room for error like it this situation.He damaged a beautiful historical bridge.When you drive into something like this, you stop get out observe the situation and if no way out you call the police rather then making things worse.Too many ppl these days does not take this profession seriously.

 

Several years ago I watched cops and ambulance pull into a truckstop in Fargo ND. They took a driver to the hospital because he was walking around the lot trying to find his flight home, thought he was at the airport,lol.

 

I don't think this guy could even fit a square peg in a square hole

 

how is that an ASSumption there hawk??? they guys profile says less than year, he states he was a IT guy, so that means he lost his job there and crawled under that low bar to be a driver.

and he hasn't been doing it long enough to criticize anyone else, and it could very well be him next week, heck it could be me next week. so where is the assumption??? the facts are facts, which one are you disputing??

 

combining these two threads has caused a confused mess, just saying

 

not only the bridge, but what he drove thru to get to the bridge...at what point does he realize hes not in Kansas anymore ???

 

Tried going to the bathroom at a rest area once but my gps kept saying recalculating, make a u turn, make a u turn,every time she talk i swear her voice got deeper like she was deeply depressed. Been in bad places before gps ever around, blamed the map makers back then, no big red circles around them 10ft bridges.

 

well of course the dang thing recalculates....we took a trip recently to Las Cruces in our pick up...GOING THRU the forest , ON ROUTE, the dang woman kept trying to send us on side dirt roads....u have to have a brain inserted if u use a gps.....will be interesting to see the outcome of this...

 

You are serious? Thats all it means? He got fired thats it no other possibilities? There are in fact several possible reasons he left the it field.
