There are drivers and then there are DRIVERS,
Many know i am in transport and we employed experience drivers, all HGV drivers are experience drivers in my eyes even though some days you have to think twice,
The other day we had to send a driver from Derby to a little place near Spalding Lincolnshire, anyway of he went and nearly 1 hour later i get a phone call from the owner , where is this driver going i was asked, all our vehicles are fitted with trackers so we know where they are all the time,
Well this experienced driver and the drivers mate was on the road to Spalding via, Derby, Bingham,Newark,Lincoln , Sleaford then into Spalding, in other worlds THE WRONG WAY,
Rather then driving down the A52 straight across the country and being there sooner ,and when the did answer the phone and asking why did they go this way, THEY FOLLOWED THE SAT NAV,
Even putting in the scenic route on the sat nav it would never have taken you this way, but the driver was not wrong we was in his eyes ,
The next stupid driver got stuck in mud from 10.40am till 4,15pm near Grimsby, he was doing a delivery at this big posh house in the middle of nowhere , the owner of that house chubby brown , i bet it was not a joke churning up his nice lawn :biggrin:
