A long-haul driver has been outsmarting dispatch for over a decade by purposefully sabotaging his truck’s GPS just enough to claim technical failure – while sneaking in extra nap breaks.
By yanking a single fuse or strategically interfering with a signal booster, the truck’s navigation system conveniently goes offline mid-route, forcing dispatch to spend hours troubleshooting while the driver enjoys an uninterrupted snooze.
For ten years, this tactic has helped avoid unexpected reroutes, tight delivery windows, and last-minute urgent loads.
“I just act confused when they call me,” he admitted. “I say, ‘Weird, it’s not working again! Guess I better pull over and wait it out.’”
His secret was nearly exposed when a new co-driver accidentally ‘fixed’ the issue, throwing off the perfectly calibrated scheme.
Now, under increased company scrutiny, the driver is exploring new ‘strategies’ – possibly involving strategic ‘cell phone dead zones,’ weak radio signals, and maybe even the occasional ‘engine trouble’ conveniently timed near a good truck stop.
When asked how long he plans to keep this up, he responded, “Until retirement… or until they catch on.”
