I'm writing an article about bucket truck safety. I figured some of you out there have had a scary experience in a bucket truck. If so let me know what happened.
 
Just a little side note here. I go by their sales yard several times a week, but I have never stopped in to look around. I do not need a bucket truck for the stump grinding business.
However, they sure keep a good inventory of very clean trucks there. most look fairly late model. I often wonder where they get all of them from. I think they have been at that location for 10 or 15 years.
I might just stop by for fun some day. I love big trucks and big equipment. Just don't need it anymore.

saw this bucket truck a couple months ago where we get our bucket inspected. the upper boom had broken in half. heard through the grape vine that the guys who was in the bucket when in broke wasn't seriously hurt prettly lucky guy. turned out the bucket hadn't been inspected in over ten years. I guess theres a reason you're supposed to have an inspection every year.
