    I just got a call from the guy at the jobsite I deliver to tomorrow on the gulf of mexico.
    “Don’t follow gps! It’ll lead you to the water! No turn around!”
    Me “Pictures or it didn’t happen!”
    But he gave me directions.
    First time a phone number on the bol was actually right.

    I don’t know if its just me, but I google map the addresses, it didnt look right, but the place he gave me was an empty field too, its a jobsite so no update, but if I look at a road, and won’t take my pickup, this thing sure isn’t going, I don’t wanna be a youtube sensation.

    I got stuck once in La, delivering some Can Ams to a dealer. I thought I coulgo around the block through a neighborhood to turn around because the dealer was closed on the Monday I showed up.

    Ended up being 4ft deep ditches on both sides of the street and too tight to turn. Ended up backing into a parish pumping station because the guy opened the gate for me. I promptly got stuck in the wet soft grass so I dropped the trailer right there and left till the next morning. Some help from a guy with a pick up and one of my chains got me onto solid ground and out a different way so I could deliver. The dealship owner was real nice and said it happens more often than not lol.

    If it’s not an adventure, then it would just be trucking.
