I don't do it as bad as I did in my rookie days, even though I have way better equipment now!

Nice work! I hope you don't let that negative facebook post bother you. What you did was probably safer than leaving the bus where it was.

I have 20 years in this business, and know what is safe or unsafe. Before I came out I told the guy I will move it to a SAFE SPOT ONLY. It was too heavy and to slick to tow it anywhere else. The Police behind him were very happy I moved it and the could go to other calls. You will never please everyone, but out of 64 responses only one was was negative. One unhappy guy won't ruin my day!

I second that. He towed my mammoth toolbox for me a couple weekends ago and he sets the standard for how an operation should be run. Outstanding work.
