    Separates the men from the boys, the wider it is the harder it gets. Put 15 wide through a 16 foot door.

    I was trying to be somewhat tongue in cheek...I HATE Brooklyn...I think my dispatcher was trying to punish me because I didn't work a day he said he needed me...It actually wasn't too bad(for Brooklyn) had good directions from our other drivers...I got lucky, the city can be such a crap shoot, one day is fine and the next a nightmare!

    So, here it is. This is the picture from the street. The crane is going to move up top there where that red excavator is. That's the back you get to do and you're 11'10" wide, the gate is 12' wide.

    Couldn't be done BTW, the rigger's truck for the crane couldn't make it. (there's cars on the left behind that trailer, so he couldn't get straight to get turned up the hill

    They pulled the left post and moved the cars wasn't too bad after that, but mighty steep.

    this really doesn't belong here, but no idea where else to put it and it's wild. Right at an intersection. That's the rear tandems for that rock hauler. and yeah, i stopped and shot a quick pic cuz no way was i not going to get a pic of that.

    That is one of them new three lane trailers I have been hearing about, cuz you drive the truck in one lane and the trailer runs three lanes over. I started to get one,Until I found out I had to upgrade the mirors on my truck to see when backing up. lol

    I always like to ask if I can just drive up to the crane, get unloaded, and after I'm empty have the crane pick the truck up and spin it around so I can drive out...
