Copy that. I just came from Empire, lane one and two, both east and west.
00:12
Then start doing the high side of the turn lanes on Veterans and Empire.
00:23
Copy that.
00:24
I can head back to Empire if you want.
00:28
Man, you stay in the lane, keep doing what you're doing.
00:31
I'm going to turn around down there in Oakland.
00:32
I'll get on the ramps.
00:33
I'm closer to it than you are.
00:38
Stay forward.
00:39
Thank you.

Makedown 3.960 on 10.

Probably not that could have a place to park.
00:57
I don't know why they park like that.
00:59
I don't know why they park like that.
01:06
33,
01:07
or no, I'm sorry, Mark, where are you in?
01:14
Got a half mile smoking at the south.
01:17
All right, I'm going to take Cracker Barrel inside and I'm going to take crew with you back southbound.
01:25
So you can see me right here on the shoulder.
01:31
25 to Jeff, what do you help with?
01:37
What are you 20?
01:43
Where are you at 25?
01:48
Over here, about.
01:50
Oh, gross.
01:53
Okay,
01:55
you're going to work the inside.
01:57
The lanes, the shoulders,
01:59
crossovers, turn lanes, everything,
02:01
you will have inside both directions.
02:07
I'll have it.
02:10
You're only 34-70.
02:20
Eric, how should you go down that curly queue, left or left side or right side?
02:25
High side, Mark.
02:26
I kind of turned my plow straight, so it's going to be kind of wide.
02:30
But there's a van that's up there on that curly queue on the top.
02:33
You have to go around them.
02:36
Simple.
02:38
Yeah, and I will allot it back into it, so if you can, when you come across the Farm & Fleet ramp, jump over early and try to knock that over too.
02:50
33, we have one more semi, they're going to pull up the hill,
02:55
up the ramp,
02:56
and then this car hauler at the bottom is going to stay there until we get done doing what we're doing.
03:06
That's in four.
03:09
Okay, we got good smyrton on the ramp trying to push this damn bang out of the way, and it is blocking the road.
03:21
Do you want to get one of the officers' attention, Mark?
03:27
Yeah, Bobby, let one of them know, maybe one of them can run over there real quick.
03:33
Well, I got the ramp block, so nobody else is going to get on it.
03:37
And if they get him pointing it in the right way, he should be able to go down the ramp.
03:40
But I'm just like you know right now nothing's going down that ramp.
03:48
Ken ISP on the ground with Bob right now.
03:50
They see what's going on.
