    a million dollars in singles weighs about 2200 pounds or 997 kg. you know those officers were having a better day that day other than just standing around all day bored, they had something interesting to learn and watch from. good work man. used to be an auto painter. i appreciate and understand the hard work and dangers you towers have to go through. Much respect. especially winter condition towers. let's just say it was not a few hundred grand.

    so you guys lifted but just wondering, wouldnt it of been a option to put logs behind the truck reverse it a bit so it got higher and then put logs infront of the trailer wheels to get it that bit of clearance? i have no towing experience but was just wondering as ive done stuff like that before when it was tight with a small trailer that had to get in the building but couldnt due to the ramps

    One would think they might reason that a shorter trailer with a shorter wheel base might be a solution. Maybe a sign that says wheel base of 53 ft trailers will not fit.

    There is a covered service road in the West End of London, behind a theatre. It has a low stone-built roof:
    When you enter with a full load, no problem, there's a bit of clearance, but, try to leave after unloading......
    You don't think about it until it happens to you.

    Had that happen to me once, the best thing to do is slide the fifth wheel, lock drive wheels and rock it loose. Then take an angle to get out. I was only a month on the job, had traffic backed up and luckily some old time walked up and showed me what to do.

    Wow, look at the concrete, it been scraped so many times. One would think they would spend the money to fix that spot. For those wondering, it usually coins that are loaded out, hence only a few guards. I have done a load like that, no escort, no guards, nothing. That is due its heavy and low value.

    Hey do you ever use these round LED flashing lights they have out now. I mean you can get them and they have four or five different flashing modes I bought a pack of eight and gave them to my son to put in his car and they have magnets and stuff on them and they show up pretty good at night but I was wondering how well they would work on the side of the road or anything. I just wanted to see what maybe a tow truck driver would think about them
