Private property and over height is of course a different ball game. That knucklehead with the dump truck hopefully got fired, because the power lines are at the TOP of the pole.
I got a phone line in a hotel parking lot once. Thankfully the company never made an issue of it because I was delivering there.
What is more nerve wrecking: Tight, congested streets or Steep Mountains?

If that's the case, then someone needed to thank his lucky stars he didn't incinerate that truck.

Also lets not get lost in "legalities". This goes back to another thread about going to Walmarts. When a driver gets off the Freeway they should go into "survivor" mode. Even if the pull down is not your fault what will you do if some snowflake starts crying to a local cop and that cop starts wanting a piece of your backside. If you don't think that cop can't find something to cite you for your living in a foolish world. When you get off the freeway you should be scanning the hell up and down and both sides of the truck. All it takes is just one screw up and it might cost you your job. This subject is why I sometimes wince a bit when I see advise given.

What happens when you make a wrong turn near downtown Seattle?
Tight, congested streets and Steep Mountains!texasbbqbest Thanks this. -
Never been one to let mountains get me in a twist.
Familiar big city streets not really. The older I get even the unfamiliar backing in off the road don't really get me excited. Hell I'm bigger what they really gonna did. It took a long time getting there though. When the horns are honking and fingers a flying. Take a deep breath and say if you don't like this gear hand you really won't like the next onetexasbbqbest Thanks this. -
For sure Tight Streets and traffic ppl cant drive . I'm Comfortable in both but rather do Mountains unless Jake not working mine went out one time a little scary .

Tight Streets, if u ever have the pleasure of blindside backing in Brooklyn off a busy street with double triple parked cars and people honking and flicking you off as u back in is very exhilarating. The best is when u make a wrong turn and end up on a residential street with low power lines and "no thru trucks" signs everywhere....

I talked to a guy who had a connection with (a Massachusetts cable provider) who actually had a copy of the paragraph from the lineman's handbook.
In short he said, "if I can hit it, it wasn't strung right."
