Hmm there’s no pavement on this grass road but gps says it’s okay lol my gps tries to take me down a old logging road that hasn’t been maintained for a decade because it cuts off 75 miles between the drops in northern Ontario. I stick to the pavement because i know it’s a BS route . I even asked receiver one time if people actually take that road and he said only till they get hung up lol

Unfortunately you have to read English to understand the signs.
picking up a oversized load at Boyd Cat in Pikeville, Ky and got to taking to a local rollback driver that was waiting to load too. He was telling me they have pulled quite a few trucks out of the side roads all because the driver couldn’t read the sign…..

"No officer, I'm not trying to get a claim check from the insurance company by burning my own truck. I got lost, yeah lost that's it, then I got stuck in the mud, and forest gnomes built a campfire under by truck, you know how forest gnomes love their fires, and then I called you. Now do I get the check from you or from someone else?"Studebaker Hawk, OLDSKOOLERnWV, rollin coal and 1 other person Thank this.

Yeh can't see insurance coming good on that fail.
What would be better is a free heavy vehicle routes edition in google maps. I'm sure their profits could stretch AI for there social license. Maybe share some of that US tech company love -
If anything the driver might get a bill for burning part of the forest up along with his truck!lol
