I can't tell you how many times over the past 28 years I've had drivers call me and tell me they were at our location and we weren't there. We've had two of our techy guys try to correct our issue with GPS, google maps and what ever but they were unsuccessful.
Did the trucker drive right past your place to find the empty field?
