    Good looking Rig. Probably telephone cable on the bottom. Although it's not good messing with any of the wires, the 3 on the cross arm at the top should be avoided at all cost!!

    That bottom wire is cable TV...the one above it is phone.

    Sweet looking ride. Wish they'd zoomed in on the truck more

    Pretty smart he has that cable run over that transformer he's carrying. Lets stuff like that slide over rather than get snagged. That's phone or cable on the bottom. Looks like phone to me.

    I was behind a guy with a house I think it was, he had guys on either side of him with poles pushing up the phone lines all the way through this small town in Texas.

    One of these days someone's going to stick that camera of yours where the sun don't shine.

    Looks like PVC pipe bowed across the top to help let wires slide over without snagging.

    @scottied67 videos make me dizzy, too fast & too much movement.

    Maybe put the camera on your chest instead of your melon.

    Or better yet, drive the truck instead of constantly trying to catch someone screwing up.

    That's how my grandma described the process when their house was moved...back in the 40's. Some things never change, I guess.
