Do you have the guy in back steering the rear wheels? That style of truck used to be commonplace when I was a kid, but I haven't seen one in a long time.

They're called tillers. The steering radius advancements and ladder construction allowed for shorter trucks that could turn tight enough to stop needing tillers in most areas. They're still in a lot of narrow and tight big cities like Kansas city, MO. The city I work at is also actually planning on getting one in about 5 more years, so they are still in demand. It's just that they aren't needed a lot of times, now.

Neat! Thanks for the information. I vote that you volunteer to be the tiller when you guys get one. That seems like an exciting job.

Oh, I'll absolutely be giving that a shot. Seems like a blast.
