Go ahead, 14. Okay, I just got relieved over here by this. At least they're using this map to push vehicles off the interstate onto 30th Street. So, I'm available where you want me to go. Stand by for just a second. Circle 5, control. Circle 5. Okay, so 31 is at 21st Street, has relieved our district cars. 14 is just now being relieved by ISP for that on-ramp. Do we have any more of our district cars out on any ramps that we can relieve?

At 70 and 65, what kind of trucks are there? Are they Hoosier helpers or what are they? They're big DOT trucks, big yellow trucks.

The truck is sitting diagonally on its side across shoulder to shoulder on 65 north. I was wondering why there was not a lot of traffic when driving 65 south and then saw that.
