I had to stay up until 2 AM, but it was well worth it. The truckers manoeuvered their loads more easily than I do my tiny Skoda Citigo.

They had the contract to deliver the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree every year (still do.) They used a pole truck and the logistics preparations started several months early.

My heart was in my mouth seeing men underneath the loads (but knowing the steel ropes can take the weight).
