Do you want me if you're going to get up there where you're at?
01:27
Or do you want me just to hold back here and stop traffic?
01:31
I would get traffic held for now because MoDOT said he's going to hit this as much as he can and he'll hit it at least a few times to try to get it cleared up.
01:44
So he asked us to just keep everything shut until he got it where we need it to be.
01:52
I understand.
01:54
We'll just stand all stand down here and hold it.

I copy, I guess he's not going to take care of the hill.
03:35
The highway patrol at this end, do you want me to try to make my way up with the oil drive?
03:47
If MoDOT's not coming back and he just left the area, we're going to have to give traction to all these trucks to get up here somehow.
03:57
And I don't think we have enough oil try to do that.
04:01
You are correct.
04:02
I was just going to hit you out.
04:05
I'm going to have to be towed out basically first.
04:11
I don't think there's any damage right now and I don't want to cause any, so I've got to have the tow truck just pull mine away from it.
04:17
I might have a couple scratches, but no dents.
04:21
Toes on seat now.
04:22
I'll send them your way.
