What not to do.

No Permit.............................Hays, Kansas was the scene location.................driver is alright........................but the overpass is out of commission until a decision is made (around the 1st of March), as to repair, or replacement....................If you noticed the date on the photos...............Happy Valentine's Day!!!!!



Imagine yourself a truck driver, and having a track-hoe with an extended reach boom on, driving down the freeway, being late for a delivery..................the knuckle on the boom is about 18' above grade---high enough to clear the cab on the tractor......................... there's an overpass ahead......................you're in high gear with your cell phone in your ear..............................on a clear, sunny day.................................







And BAMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.. .......the next thing you know, your seat belt is cutting into your collar bone..............................

The scary thing is not noticing the boom was up.

Even scarier, the week before this he deliverd a big piece of equipment in Oregon.

[stump0331]

[Rwalker]

boy oh boy, if we had someone do something that bad here they would have been promoted. Our motto is " Screw Up, Move Up". LOL. Shoot, they could be president of the company or something....

Could you imagine driving over the overpass and have that boom come squirting up through the road bed. HELLO
