    Prime driver material here for sure.

    Authorities say a trucker who was missing for four days has walked out of the Oregon wilderness safely.

    Jacob Cartwright, 22, got lost after his GPS sent him the wrong way, State Police Sgt. Kaipo Raiser said.

    I looked at the picture of the "stuck" trailer and can't help but wonder if he knows what a power divider is and how to use it. Potato chips is a light load. He should have easily got that trailer through that.

    If I got LOST in the woods on a ROAD for 4 days.. or even a partial day.. ON A ROAD..

    I'd just stay in the woods.

    Even if he was stuck and had to hoof it out, he was on a road.
    Take the GPS with you and retrace your steps if you were naive enough to go bumbling around in the forest cuts with a semi.

    Trucking at the lowest common denominator but hey, he deserve to start at $0.45 a mile.

    Probably had "Driver Mentor" stenciled upon his door.

    The national enquirer once had a head line, "I was Sasquatch's Love Slave". You don't suppose....

    It is spring time so having gone off on a road like that can be very challenging, get a set off into the soft stuff will be a bad day. Then wife gets home and finds he is hurting after walking 36 miles to the house, how many fish dig he catch?
