00:00.131 --> 00:03.464
(truck engines running)

00:06.038 --> 00:08.569
- Today we just did an advanced motor operatives course

00:08.569 --> 00:10.276
^for some of the guys that haven't actually seen

00:10.276 --> 00:11.733
^what some of the trucks can do,

00:11.733 --> 00:13.444
what they can get over, what they're actually built for.

00:13.444 --> 00:16.717
They're not just meant to drive on the road.

00:16.717 --> 00:18.989
Some of the obstacles today were higher curbs,

00:18.989 --> 00:21.322
to crawl over a rock garden.

00:21.969 --> 00:24.292
They went over a steep incline and decline,

00:24.292 --> 00:26.475
almost like a balance beam, so that they could get an idea

00:26.475 --> 00:27.970
of where their wheels are on the earth,

00:27.970 --> 00:31.970
so they can better traverse different obstacles.

00:32.409 --> 00:35.696
We usually do this in the spring or summer time.

00:35.696 --> 00:39.673
It's more muddy, and you can get kind of a better traction

00:39.673 --> 00:40.769
'cause all this we're driving over

00:40.769 --> 00:42.600
is just sheets of ice and snow,

00:42.600 --> 00:44.554
so the truck's sliding around a little bit more.

00:44.554 --> 00:47.476
It adds a little bit of a difficulty variable to it.

00:47.476 --> 00:49.633
But everybody got over it, nobody really froze up

00:49.633 --> 00:51.379
or anything, so it was a good day.
