    If you are not in constant contact insured, trained, you are not qualified to be an escort. Also you don't have all the gear, and you can't do it with a semi. It's best to give him room and move on, or back off and get behind him. I get you are trying to help, but it's actually doin the exact opposite

    He said a crane that takes 6-7 trucks to move is not considered a big crane. I agree. The biggest crane I ever saw in person svanen.jpg was the Svanen, 8,700 ton crane. Here is a picture.

    Scottie, I'm sure you had good intentions when you started with the videos. But it seems your thirst for attention has clouded your judgment. You hang out next to a guy like that who's trying to get down the road and you end up creating a hazard by hanging out there. Let the man work and stay out of the way. Don't you have a job to do yourself? I wonder how many near misses you've had because you are busy trying to be famous. If your content was truly that compelling people would flock to your channel and watch, you wouldn't need to desperately throw your videos up on this site at every opportunity. The longer you keep it up the more likely it is you won't be taken seriously. Hopefully you knock it off before someone gets hurt.

    I'm interested in what this says about JCT as a company, I'm sure they are aware of his channel, given the amount of tailgating and other dangerous stunts he performs you would think they would want to talk to him about it. Perhaps they don't care about safety at that company? Perhaps they don't care about their public image? Anyway, there's a good reason to stay away from that company.

    Way more, 21000 with a Maxer is over 100 loads. It has a couple million pounds of counterweights.
