Signal 1[1], 234, over 2, and a 37X commercial.
00:10
2850A, what direction are you?
00:14
Eastbound and I actually spotted a semi worker 232 over 4.
00:23
Please, can you see?
00:28
2850A Berea, could you possibly send a trooper here? I was unable to make contact with this commercial driver.
00:42
He's less than 2,000 feet from the exit.
00:50
Okay.
00:51
So he, just so, because they're probably going to ask for a little more detail.
00:54
So, are they
00:55
like a hazard, like a partial 32,
00:59
like on the ramp?
01:03
He's on the shoulder, he's a little...
01:07
But no hazard triangles deployed.
01:10
Looking in the cab, he has his door unclosed.
01:12
So I'm assuming he's sleeping.
01:16
Really? 30-50A.
01:19
Okay, so you just need a trooper to double check to make sure he's okay,
01:24
but he doesn't need to move?
01:26
He's FDA.
01:28
That's correct.
01:29
I was just unable to make contact with him, so I want to make sure he's all right.
01:34
Bubba's cleaning up Cruz here.
01:36
Thank you,
01:38
sir. Okay, 28508, thank you.

Signal to be 37X commercial.
