    The move went seamlessly, so their preparation wss obviously satisfactory. And they knew how many trucks it would take as well as coordinating with the sand trucks, so I don't understand why you would criticize them, except that they are in North America. Bashing all things on this side of the pond seems to be a common theme with you.

    That's the thing I don't recall anybody criticizing they way its done over there, we just point out how its not the best way for us. If our stuff worked there and vice versa I'm pretty sure we/they would be using it.

    No no, most of our states are larger than your country, it only takes a county or two to turn around.

    Of course you forgot to mention that the trucks took a wrong turn to begin with.

    So all that pre-planning and route research was just a big waste of money. Can they not at least program their route into a GPS unit?

    No, I did not forget anything.
    I just posted a link to a dutch media site, and I copied the text, pasted it in Google Translate and posted the result.

    Maybe the dutch media site forgot to mention it???

    But, sending out scouts to explore and evaluate the whole trip, writing transport plans, etc, etc.
    All this planning and then taking the wrong turn....

    Maybe the planning was perfect, the execution .... not so much.

    Or maybe the planning was not that perfect.
    How else can you explain that they took the wrong turn. Not just 1 truck, but 2, and all the escorts.
