he never ever looks at a map. I followed him right to the WRONG location. Fortunately there were no unexpected weight
limit or no trucks signs along the way.
For the next few weeks he left his GPS at home and counted on me to know where to lead him.
(I will refrain from telling you what I think of this driver.....)
I always consult a map or a map program, and I almost always have written directions to my destination.
It's important to do your 'homework' before just driving into a situation that you either cannot get out of or
that you can be penalized for.
Why.......You think he is the GREATEST driver you have ever hired.....and wish you had twenty more just like him!!!
