How hard is it to come to a stop when you’re pushing a full trip of barges?

They don't stop on a dime. I've seen them throw it into reverse to keep control in current when rounding bends back home.

Just depends. I've only drive a few times and that was in the canal with a light current wasn't too bad with two loads but you can't just stop them like you would a car . Basically you gotta throw it in reverse to stop your forward motion. Now when you start getting into the big tows 20+ most of them captains I talk to say they plan there stops like a mile down

It's kinda a guide deal . The tow boat pushing can't see over them racks so the one in front is likes it's eyes and helps steering it around . It's not as long but wider with less vision

Welp woke up at 12 and we NOLA
Was able to try take some pics last night and it's crazy how good these cameras are getting

Thanks you for the pictures...that is a long ways from Nevada. Take care...OTG
