[QUOTE="Moosetek13, post: 11754946, member: 52051"]I was eastbound on I-90 just getting into Chicago when I got a call from my DM. It seems I was selected for a random, and last night and this morning when I was at the terminal didn't work out because of how late I got there and how early I left. She had been tracking me all day trying to set up the test. She sent me the address of the place I needed to get to, saying it was about 30 miles away. Well, I-90 in Chicago is not the place I want to be to start reading an address and punching it in to my GPS. Luckily traffic slowed to barely a crawl and I was able to do it safely. She said there was a big parking lot there where I would have no trouble getting the truck into; she had scoped it out on Google. Turns out it was 40 miles away and in the wrong direction, and that big parking lot was chained off so I could not get in. I ended up parking along the street and blocking most of that lane, then I had to back up past the street I came in from to leave. Good think there was little traffic at the time. Gotta love it when a random comes up during a load. It is always fun. It made me 2 hours later on this load, so my next load will end up being late.[/QUOTE]
