All right, last vehicle.
00:05
Yeah,
00:07
Troy, you guys should be able to see me.
00:09
I'm on top of this hill.
00:13
Rudy, it's gonna be close, but they should be good.
00:15
You may just have to slow down a little bit,
00:17
Rudy.
00:18
Yep, slowing them down.
00:20
Troy, as soon as you guys pass that white car, you're good up to me.
00:24
All right, we're good.
00:25
We're good.
00:30
I think we can keep going bump and go up until we got to start burning cars like that.
00:35
Yep, that's fine.
00:38
Especially with the truck and the light of sight would be good.
00:47
Approaching some more.
00:52
All right, his boom hit the power line here, so they're going to just go down a little bit.
01:03
Josh,
01:04
stop that oncoming traffic because there's another power line right here.
01:08
All right, order to do the first one.
01:14
So close to me, it's hard to tell which one they're going to have to stop for and which one they're not.
01:22
Go ahead and spread out a little bit right here.
01:25
He's right almost.
01:30
Yeah, it's just hard to tell which power lines we need to stop for and get them stopped in the other lane.
01:36
We'll be with that last one.
01:42
It seems like if it's straight across, he's good, but if they kind of loop down into the roadway, towards the roadway, then we probably need to stop or slow down traffic.
01:58
Lee, we turned on Black Cat Road.
01:59
Are you going to jump forward and you can turn around a slow roll in the interstate? Yeah,
02:06
that's fine.
02:07
I'll head out to the interstate and do the slow roll.
02:16
There's a diagonal when you come down this next hill.
02:20
I'm not sure if that was going to be low or not.
02:23
I don't know.
02:27
Clear.
