I am a real estate appraiser and I am appraising a distribution warehouse. There is an overhead rail crossing with a 14'8" clearance at the entrance. What clearance do most distribution type trucks have? Does that impose a difficulty for many trucks? (I have seen a few trucks trying to make a U Turn just before the railroad crossing.
Thank you for your help

13'6" is max height for dry vans/trailers.
MACK E-6 Thanks this. -
13'6 or less should be typical of 90% of all trucks on the roads. That is the height of a typical highway tractor pulling a 53 foot van. Hope this helps.

there are a number of 14' trailers out there too.

yup 13'6" is the majorty
i still hate those 13'7'' underpasses it looks so darn close -
In western states where the height limit is 14' its probably a lot more than that. -
14'8 is high for an overheight truck,isn't it? If a drivers load is that tall,he should have a pilot car with a pole. But then, maybe you handle giraffes??
