It crossed over a wrong way and they terminated so they lost some ground.

There is currently no units behind it.
00:27
It's now a semi-tanker truck, 5 southbound from Calgrove.
00:38
Already out on arrival.

Anything I copy? I can open it back up before.
00:48
Officer safety.
00:52
We should be like right off your nose.
00:54
We're up at like 4.5 though we're pretty high.

Somebody right in front of me.

I mean, I doubt they will.
01:45
Palmdale 22 to it.
01:48
Okay. All right, I was just wondering.
