Caught another long pole on the move this morning... coming out of one of Tacoma power's pole yard/substation's in lakewood tacoma area.

was too dark for my cel camera to get a pic... but the dashcam worked pretty good :) red arrows are pole ends.

Did they have a driver on the dolly end? I've been involved in moving more than a few center pivot irrigation spans at '160-180' apiece and we always used a steerable dolly built from some old junk 1.5 ton truck. The tiller guy rode in the rear escort and jumped out to unlock and steer in tight spots. Used a super short single axle White Compact as a tow rig with a special hitch right behind the cab.

I couldn't tell, they had a bunch of strobes going and it was darker than the dashcam makes it look ;) I didn't even figure out it was a pole until I had gone by them and looked back.

I think that was one of the TB130's it'll go 126' plus if the angle it up a bit and pour on some speed they could probably get another 25+feet out of it ;)
