District 1043 Wasco's been on scene here.
02:52
I'm speaking with him.
02:53
He advised that in-dot, when they got one of their vehicles stuck on here, they assaulted the beginning of the ram and then decided it was too much and just left, and we don't know if they're coming back or not.
03:02
So can you advise them that they need to have someone come back out here with salt, and they can't just leave because all of these, I have like eight vehicles that are stuck here total.

The dart that's in the middle here in the ditch there, it was waiting on precision, I believe.

We can possibly try and get some of those semis backed up and back on the eastbound side, so they're not stuck on the ramp, and then we can see if we can get precision in there.
04:20
Right, 104.
04:21
OIG to come back now, we can see if we can get these moves.
04:25
Before, we need to try and get a salt truck through here at least too, that way precision doesn't get stuck trying to get up there to get that vehicle.
