Paper. I'm 55A city. Go ahead. Just FYI, I'm getting turned around on the floor of a piece of tire debris, 35 southbound, between 17th and 33rd. Look like it was in the outside, man. Okay. I don't make 2021 City. Go ahead.
00:55
I'm going to need another wrecker, but I don't know how in the world we're going to get up here. We're completely blocked. They're going to have to either go... We'll send them the wrong way from Anderson to get to you. Do you need another unit? They can't get on at Anderson. 240 is the closest area to get on, and that's...
01:25
Okay, is there no shoulder that they can get down through or I thought there was still an on-ramp that Anderson just on an off-ramp? No, not eastbound. Eastbound's blocked on both ways. And there's no shoulder here. The only thing that they could do is possibly go down the, if we could get the, uh, the construction company out here to move some barrier walls.
01:54
Okay. If we can figure out how to get them from 240 to here, I mean, that's about the only other option. Okay. As long as there's no traffic, I mean, they should be able to get through, but... 575-8-course championing mileage. Yeah, there's just no easy way to get on at 240, eastbound. Good. Well, it's clear. Well, if Youngs, they're intelligent, we'll talk about it. Getting mileage, unit 30358-859.

Hey, 28, need some help. Here, Claire, 358-559. I'm sorry, 10-9[1]. Are you good or you want another unit? I mean, I've got roadways block. I ain't got, uh, I ain't got no problems out here. It's just trying to get the records to me. Okay.
02:43
Is it going to be completely totaled or do we know what kind of record they're going to need? Can they get it with it conventional or are they going to need a rollback? Yeah, both of them can be conventional.
02:59
Ragsdale's has been advised, they feel confident they'll be able to get to you. They're either going to get on at Choctaw or they're going to turn around at 240. That's why he wanted to bring the conventional because it'll be easier to turn around in a smaller truck. But he's on the way. Okay, thank you. 28, are we needing to let the other wrecker know that they've got to do the same thing? They're both going to need to do the same thing. Okay.
