Several hours. It was on my first unsupervised delivery as a tractor-trailer driver. I was to deliver a load from Baltimore MD to Washington DC. Anyone whose visited DC knows it's not the easiest OR the most logical city to navigate. It's especially not where you'd send a rookie driver with a very large vehicle. Anyway, after a series of wrong turns and unsuccessful attempts to turn around, I found myself on the interstate headed toward Virginia. Frustrated, tired and defeated, I AND my load returned home expecting to be fired. Fortunately, I wasn't, but I was never again assigned to make deliveries in Washington DC.

Great question. I was "lost" in the northern Nevada desert one winter night after missing a cutoff road that was covered in snow. I ended up stopping near the crest of hill, put a need help flag on my antenna in the remote case that someone would come by in the middle of the night (no one did). In the morning, once it was clear, I returned to a landmark that I recognized and backtracked to where I needed to go and chalked the experience up to "experience".

I've been lost for about two hours. I remedy the situation by forgetting to try to find a short cut and getting back on the Royal Road.
