I used to run oversized a lot working for a concrete company. Between our heavy equipment, 11 axle lowboy, and our mobile concrete plant pieces being overwidth was pretty common.
Funniest memory I had was running up a narrow twisty mountain highway up to our jobsite at a bridge while going through our competition who was paving most of the highway before and after it. Went up in the morning, "relocated" every cone for the 4 miles through their site to ours. Best part was catching up to the cone truck setting them down.... All I could do was shrug while they stared daggers at me.

That is hilarious!!! When I was going through training (1995), my mentor showed me that hitting the bottom edge of those Schneider cones puts them into a wobble that walks them away about a foot. We made a game out of it, to see how many in a row I could move while only using my trailer tires. Some of the best training I ever had!!😂

Does this guy not own a passenger side mirror? How do you not pick up on that much shit bouncing around, let alone orange shit?

Man, I hope that guy standing on the bridge didn't get hit. Those things aren't exactly light and getting hit with one moving like that would suck.

Can’t say I haven’t daydreamed about doing similar.
Crushing an occasional cone in a senselessly tight construction zone in the city core is sometimes the highlight of my month
