There's a wreck, I guess, at Fairfield and Strayer.
00:02
They got it closed, but I just had to turn around.
00:05
I was coming inbound.
00:07
So I'm going to head down.
00:09
Um,
00:14
give me a minute.
00:19
Mike, I was just about to call you about that because I just went the whole way across that intersection on my inbound.
00:27
It's like a sheet of ice right there.
00:31
Yeah, Josh, somebody must have hit a pole there and they got it completely shut down.
00:37
I'm cutting across Chandler.
00:45
And then hopefully I don't know how far down it's closed, I'll let you know.
00:54
Great. Then proceed, thank you.
01:05
Portable 9 to this fast.
01:06
I'm going to head in that direction and see what's going on to the drivers.
01:14
Call me down, thank you.
01:34
Good, portable 9.
01:36
Hey Mike, where is that, um, where do they have a closed at?
01:42
Directly at Fairfield and Strayer.
01:48
Recease. Read C.

01:58
That's receipt.
02:06
Portable nine, just back.
02:11
Go ahead.
02:13
Do we have any other buses heading in that direction other than operator Harris?
02:27
Stand by.
02:36
About 15 headed in that direction right now and there'll be 7 leaving in about 2 minutes headed that way also.
02:46
Okay, Josh, thank you.
02:48
This fast please inform the route 7.
02:56
Thanks, Josh, yeah, I was just going to say we have one leaving the transit center of 15 at 340.
03:03
Portable nine, is it best? Please get hold of the Route 7.
03:10
Yes, I am. Thank you.
03:13
You're welcome.
03:21
218 is Josh on that outbound.
03:25
Go ahead, Mike.
03:27
Josh, you can get the whole way up to Garfield, but it's very congested because everyone's trying to come both directions, so
03:36
you are able to get to Garfield, but like I said,
03:40
they're trying to cram everybody both ways there, so I don't know if that's our best bed or not.
03:46
That's what I do, but...
03:53
I'm trying to make up my mind here whether I want to go Garfield or Jamler.
03:58
Well,
04:00
honestly, you're probably better off of Chandler.
04:04
That's what I'm gonna do and then I'll give it another look on my inbound and see how that looks.
04:13
Yeah,
04:16
I think a tanker's built diesel fuel.
04:20
It's real quick.
04:23
Yeah, I didn't know what that was like, I know I turned the wheel as I was halfway into the intersection.
04:31
So, yeah, and I just kept going and going and going, and then it got a little bit of grip and then it got a little bit of grip and it turned, but, yeah, it was a little sketchy.
04:39
Yeah,
04:41
that's for sure.
