this is who i was "talking to", not the o/p
and i was responding that houses can be on a main drag, something you seemed to have question as a possibility perhaps?

Last time I did that I just coiled the wire, left it at the base of the pole, and waved to the nice lady who watched the whole thing and asked ME if I was alright as I drove away. The utility will come reinstall it soon enough, hopefully HIGHER this time. -
I knocked down a bunch of low cables in New Orleans once. I called my dispatch and told them I did it and that I wasn't very ####ing happy with being in that ####hole.
RedRover Thanks this. -
Seeing as how I was not talking about the house being on the "main drag" nor did the op indicate he was on a "main drag", what merit does your gotcha moment have? -
Its soo good to know we don't have an sanctimonious Jackwagons here. Who have never done anything wrong or improper.
Ladr, in the last two months I have personally knocked down two cable\phone lines. Because they were too low. I was in those areas to make deliveries. Would you have me pallet jack the load in? To prevent such incidents?
Or just do as I did. I called in the first, and not the second because i didn't know it had been knocked down, until a day later. It stayed on top of my trailer until I took off, I think the back of the trailer hooked on my way out.
But I also can't guarantee that I was the one who knocked it down either, as I was only one of a couple drivers who were going to that resident. He gets auto parts for his race care regularly.bottomdumpin and OPUS 7 Thank this. -
How long have you been doing this out of curiosity

Your attempt to take the moral high-ground seems to be bombing @ladr. Let fools be fools and you worry about what you do. We've all ####ed up a time or 15.... If it's a major deal it always comes around in the end. But this agenda item.... is it really worth the fight you're putting into it?
To me it's like a PitBull going rabid for a single chicken nugget.... I know it isn't worth it; I know he doesn't... so let me reel you back in, man. It isn't worth it. Just scoff, and don't be that guy.buddyd157 Thanks this. -
No tickets no accidents but this is the only thing that has been gnawing on me. Just glad to know that wires have to be at a certain height. This wire was at least 3 feet below regulation. Thanks everyone for your help it's been three days and nada. It is now time to move on from this.Last edited: Jul 9, 2017
