23 tons of fencing materials on farm...I only dropped?? Our life savings gone!

What happens here

The farmer waits for a call from the truck driver, who has received directions from Farm Fence Solutions (Luke Gibson). The driver is approximately 10 minutes away. The farmer plans to meet the driver at the start of the driveway to guide him, specifically mentioning the sharp curve in the driveway that has caused issues for previous deliveries. He notes that the truck will need to drive through a grassy, hard-packed area to navigate the turn, avoiding the softer shoulders where a tractor-trailer could get stuck. The total weight of the steel being delivered is approximately 45,000 pounds (22.5 tons).

Goal: Safely guide the flatbed truck with 45,000 lbs of materials to the unloading area.

Tools and materials

  • Flatbed Truck — Delivering the fence materials
  • Kubota RTV — Transporting the farmer to meet and guide the truck driver
  • Smartphone — Communicating with the truck driver
