Okay, it'll be around.
00:18
Lucedale, if it is an actual 18-wheeler,
00:22
they may need to get the Mississippi Department of Transportation enforcement out here because they have to have a clearance guide to go through city streets.
00:34
Tim Ford, just let me know and if so I will give them a call.
00:42
You can go ahead and call them.
00:44
It's all the way backed up in the Auto Zone.

02:07
I'm gonna go all the way down there to Cherstreet, start standing on that way.
02:17
Lucidians, you don't clear out that other lane of traffic, got Cassinny's 18 withers that way.
02:24
Yeah, this route he's got from the state's got him going down Main Street, he's not going to be able to clear these power lines.

I'm by Junior Food Mart.
02:39
Do you want me directing traffic close to the hospital?
02:47
I'm already down here at Junior Food Mart now, but somebody needs to be in that front so we can let all these lanes of traffic through.
02:56
I'm already up here doing it.
03:03
Hey Ford, can you deter traffic from coming down this way? Because as soon as he moves, he's going to hit this power line.
03:13
Off here in Church Street.
