The GPS said I could go this way!
Only problem is no way to see if this is new or old but dmn gps strikes again.
Edit - ok this is old I believe. Still good example to not follow gps.

That looks like one of their newer internationals. Sheesh, not sure how u look at that road and say "yep looks good, lets take it!"

New driver problem. Lot of them see the gps say turn here and think...it says to go down here....no where to pull over to check Google maps so better following for now.

I'm half r e t a r d e d, but even I'm smart enough to realize its a stupid idea to take a fleet spec highway truck down a road like that.

Maybe the load destination is at the end there?
I would think its difficult to know the entire road there to the final destination.
Maybe the road is a normal drop location but its soaked so the road became soft?
I dk thou im a recent grad and can sorta understand the logic -

That road regardless if it was to a destination is not designed for 53ft trailers. There are paved roads in the east you will see that will show up as truck routes but restricted for anything over 35ft. Since you can see that driver is all the way over yet his trailer is completely blocking the other lane. Probably a back road that crossing two truck routes but the 'GPS' wanted to save a few miles.

Ha Ive taken FFE's precious tractor into the forest where there is nothing but forest floor, tree roots and so on over in Fallstown Maryland after hunting a nursery shipper deep in the woods. Fortunately it worked out. talk about total off road. Which would not be the first time.
There is another brickyard up in the region of lancaster west in a rural town where you go off road for two miles to get there through fields and trees. The path was left by previous trucks and not too hard to follow when it's not raining. -
Maybe the start was good then got bad?
Sorta like a 1 way road and they chose to push instead of trying to back out?
To many what ifs thou lolAModelCat Thanks this.
