    I wonder how Ron Pratt from Midwest Towing would go about cleaning that up if it was in his jurisdiction?

    He’d send Mike with the baby Pete and Talon with the Star to watch him lift it with the rotator.

    You ever watch Married with Children? Al was a shoe salesman, and this woman comes in complaining about her shoes not holding up. Al says: "Ma'am, like an elevator, these shoes have a 2-ton weight limit."

    I am going out on a limb here and guess the driver felt they couldnt back up or get turned around and thought "ef it, it will be fine"

    You are right. I just looked at Google maps and they would have to back for miles... it also makes absolutely no sense why they were on that route either...
