I spent about 30 minutes once trying to find a Ryder fuel location. We had a book with all the locations listed each with a little map. I finally ended up calling them from a pay phone. (no cell phone back then) Their map was drawn upside down. South was on the top. I went the wrong direction from the highway exit.
