Well the way this is worded he had his girlfriend pick him up in the parking lot!
Look, from 1985 to as late as 2005, even at Turner who I've worked for, workers "brassed in" first thing in the morning. You walk up to a trailer, tell them your assigned number and they give you a round "brass" disc with that number. It's used for tool check out and by the time keepers for attendance. Attendance is also checked at the morning crew meeting.
They should know if the man was or wasn't there, especially by this morning.

He may not be answering his phone 'cause he knows he going to get it from his wife/girlfriend.
