And i’ve been running bucket trucks for a while now, and I’m curious about the variations in operation and maintenance routines others have experienced… Just last week, I had to deal with a tricky maneuver in a tight spot during a power line job, and it got me thinking about what techniques you all use to enhance safety and efficiency. Any tips or stories to share?
Dealing with tight spots can be a real challenge — one technique I’ve found helpful is using spotters to guide maneuvering, especially when working with power lines. It really enhances both safety and visibility.
Using a good quality camera system can really help when you’re in tight areas; it makes a big difference for visibility. I’ve found it particularly useful for those power line jobs. Have you tried integrating tech like that into your maneuvers?
