    How about this for a delivery address ? I-64, Section II, Williamsburg, Va.

    Fortunately it also included a phone number.

    It was two pieces of six foot diameter steel pipe that I delivered to the median of the highway with only two lanes of travel each way left open and rush hour traffic zooming past. That was fun getting out of there.

    I feel your pain. Just the other day I was asked to squeeze in a spot under a crane. The only way to do it was to pull out into rush hour traffic in San Jose, California, and blind side into it. It took me 3 times. The owner was like, “My guys have no issues.” I said, “Well, they do it how many times a day with those little day cabs?” He just shrugs and walks away. They all have excuses or want to deflect responsibility.

    Welcome to my world for 20 years, a 58 foot quad is awesome on a tight job site.

    A 48 footer and a single screw handles pretty good going backwards.

    On the other hand, I feel for the tree service guys that pull wood chippers.

    I’m sure that’s fun, not.

    At least with your jeep you don’t have the worry of pinning the side of it against your tractor frame.
