$850,000.oo ladder truck
Less than one year old, Its yours for a mer $50.00.
Yesterday, A ladder testing company was testing our ladders, Each year all of our ladders have to be stress tested. So he sets up the 100' stick and rotates it and elevates it and lowers it right onto a 100,000 volt electrical line. Fire came from every opening and the ground pads for the outriggers were glowing red. Now the truck has to be taken apart, piece by piece and checked fro damage, Berrings welded together, doors wont open, sterring is locked, maybe I should say welded where its at. Three times the back feed hit the truck before they could get the line shut down. All the guy could say was, "Im fired" WOW, 100,000 volts going to ground is pretty cool, whole lot better than fireworks. Ron |

Wow. I bet that was a show. Where did that happen? Was it in Sugarland? I guess that's a cool 850K bill handed to the insurance company......which will be handed back from the insurance company through higher insurance rates.........which will be passed on to the local residents.
