Re:Question for all you Cable "Lawyers"

My experience has found that the laws state that land owners have to permit access to the utility easement for the workman and his equipment required to do his job. In almost every case a pole can be climbed or worked from a ladder. This pretty much leaves out the truck. This usually applies to the power company also. I have seen them in Mo. having to get 6 or eight men to carry a pole into the easement.

>1. May I Legally drive my bucket truck through someone’s back yard (not creating any damage) as long as I stay in the utility easement? I'm also assuming that even though it is aerial plant that the ground is also considered to still be part of the utility easement. Also, how many feet to either side of the lines do I have?
>2. Is there any protection that we have as utility workers from violence from citizens, physical & or verbal?
