Oh, no, its just like driving a car" should have thier heads read.

If you gross over 100,000 llbs, and carry a quarter of a million in
inventory on the truck....then you're in my neighborhood.


Close. 80,000 lb gross, 40 foot trailer behind a fifth wheel FMC ladder
truck worth a cool half million. :)


Years ago, I went for the Fire Department in my city. Made it to the
last 5 out of 300. As a test, they put you up in the snorkel at full
height (85 ft or so), and simulated the nozzle being fired by dropping
your height, and moving it (bucket) backward. It was just like my
early days at the fair, riding the wild rides of my youth.
