General Discussion New ladder truck adjustment

What's up guys, my Dept. just got a new mid-mount platform 100' ladder. I was trained on a 105' rear-mount platform ladder. I know there's gonna be a learning curve on the transition, but for the truckies out here, what differences on set-up can I look forward to?

Be sure to park about five feet closer.

Tallest building in the area is a 5 story.

I think he'll be fine.
