Yes. They had the root clearance but what happened to the 60 degree V? Also how do you weld into iron oxide from the flame cut - plus no V? As others have mentioned maybe 25% penetration. Wonder how long the always overloaded truck lasted afterwards?
They have to overload the trucks to get the job, then drive a dangerous vehicle to make money. After that they have to spend the money they made for repairs. Not an ideal system.
