THAT IS THE BIG PROBLEM,,,,,

IT TOOK THREE TRYS TO GET A GOOD TOWER TO CHICAGOLAND..
maybe in the last three years the trucker learned NOT TO FORK IT...

I finally learned to go to the terminal to visually inspect it ...
If you can get it to stay on ONE  trailer... much better chance of not 
having the tower forked over.

The guys at U.S Tower were VERY cooperative thru the debacle.....
