This was one of ours

UK PROFESSIONAL DRIVERS FORUMS EX-PAT BRITISH TRUCKERS (INTERACTIVE)

So on Wednesday morning one of our young drivers on the new driver training scheme rolled a load over on a nasty mountain road in the Catskills. I often deliver to the customer in this case and we who know never use this route because of the dangers. This kid was told by his elder brother amongst others of us not to take the route his sat nav told him but to get off the NY thruway at Kingston and use route 28 west. As is normal with people who recently passed their test he knew better and I feel now licking his wounds.
