Sitting at a light yesterday I watched a local Bud guy try to make a right hand turn from the right lane onto a narrow street. He didn't get 20 feet. He backed out and went on. Amazing.
Flatbed accident photo!

Fixed it for you.
I once had a cell phone provider tell me that they had zero roaming charges. It was true. They simply didn’t have any roaming.OLDSKOOLERnWV, RedBeardedT, SavageMuffin and 4 others Thank this. -
Challenge accepted.

I worked for a distributor of electronics. People would call and ask a price. I would tell them, and they would say I can buy that cheaper from ABC distributor but they are out. I would tell them ours are free when we don't have any, but once in stock they cost this much.Tug Toy, RedBeardedT, LoneCowboy and 4 others Thank this.

Well...looked at the photo again. I was wrong. Was trying to give this driver the benefit of a doubt. He dropped the WHOLE trailer in the ditch. That means he forgot that he had a trailer. If you can’t remem the trailer, you shouldn’t be driving the truck.

I had a job site insist I could make the turn, stretched to 63’.
So, I had them block traffic, (2 lane road), set up the turn and drove it in all the way to where the wheels were going to drop in the ditch.
Got out and did the ‘SEE!’ dance.
2 hours later the bob cat had filled in another 10 feet of ditch. -
you should have done it like a boss, while smoking pot and talking on the phone like the guy in the original postTug Toy, stwik and blairandgretchen Thank this.

Same with our line of work.
They may be able to replace the linehaul guys with one of those drones, but not the city guys. -
Depends on the state. For example Georgia you don’t need flags, permits, or banners until you’re over 100’.
Texas you NEVER need banners. Just flags. -
Actually, when it comes to making difficult back or other tight maneuvers, computers will do it better than any human ever could. The problem computers will have with city work, other than the difficulties in working around human drivers, will be communicating with customers (IE where is it supposed to back up, where does the product go, etc) and the actual unloading, which would require more robots.RedBeardedT and Bud A. Thank this.
