The truck was a 1,988 worth 100k or so I'd guess . We buy new sticks for 750k, a 24 Y/o one is not worth much.

With the jacks out,nobody could jump in and move it without first going to the rear and retracting the jacks, taking it out of interlock,pto etc.

One could Monday morning quarterback the placement of the rig (and plenty are) but I was not there so I'll hold my thoughts on that.

Although the old saying with chem./ haz mat is up hill up wind......
