Hey dispatch, they just came down Palm.
00:02
I'm headed towards Main Street and there was a delivery truck and I barely got through.
00:10
I mean,
00:12
barely got through.
00:13
So I don't know if I'll be able to make it coming back the other way.
00:18
Probably.
00:21
Truck was over at Palm and Main, so like I said, it barely got through.
00:27
If it's a delivery truck, it might be gone by the time you're coming back through, so it might be fine.
00:35
Yeah, but if it's not,
00:38
I'll be holding up traffic because I won't be able to get through.
00:41
Like I said, I barely got around this strip.
00:45
There was a vehicle.
00:47
Parked on the other side, he was kind of cocky.
00:50
I parked in the parking spot because they don't have a parallel park.
00:55
Stay on route.
00:56
We'll see if we can't get a supervisor in that area.
00:59
Well,
01:01
like 470 said, I'll come back and if it's still there, I'm gonna have to wait till he leaves.
01:07
So I'll just play up traffic.
01:10
I don't care.
01:12
Pretty sure that was dispatcher (name withheld), but we'll see if 470 or 490 can't.
01:16
Five can't get over there.
01:18
All right, it's rated Palm and Main Street delivery truck, toolbox truck, or big box truck.
