I used to go to Kanes all the time in the early 2000's. Rookies were hitting that bridge then, and they will be 10 years from now. That bridge is strong!!!
I guess two signs wasn't enough...

I've been in that industrial park picking up wine a few times during my 3 month stint pulling a van instead of a reefer. No excuse for hitting that thing. -
Zero patience or sympathy for stupid. Measure your ####, and read the ####### signs....that's what they're for.
I also perk up at low clearance signs, as I go where the roofers go, not always truck friendly, but I know how tall I am and have NEVER had to back out of a spot I didn't fit...Marksteven Thanks this. -
Maybe he wanted a midroof?
windsmith and tangerineGT Thank this. -
I don't know why that intersection isn't a 3 way stop. That would cut way down on the bridge strikes and also the problems that we have with being able to see what's coming from the other side of the bridge when we pull out to go up the grade. Sight distance is a problem to the right because of the bridge and the angle of the roads, and to the left because the crest of the hill hides the oncoming traffic.BrenYoda883 Thanks this. -
If I recall, there's a "LOW CLEARANCE" sign right there at the 3-way intersection where you turn to go down to the barbershop.
-
The signs were probably in English, there's the problem.
blanco, drvrtech77, allniter and 4 others Thank this. -
This is the best comment so far ....
Wtf is this world coming to ?allniter, pattyj and Marksteven Thank this. -
There's one in Tonawanda NY(just north of buffalo for those who can't read a map or just paranoid about upstate NY), that is about 11 feet, has signs and flashing lights as far back as a mile before it, and there's even a marked alternate route, but drivers still keep hitting it. Yet they claim their GPS told them to go down that road. Proof of how pathetic these company training programs are at these big CDL mill companies like Prime, Werner, Swift, Western Express,etc. are, that they cant teach TRIP PLANNING at all by actually using a motor carrier's atlas, or they wont allow drivers to call shippers and receivers for directions.
-
Yeah it seems that large training carriers have their share of knuckleheads... kinda figures, doesn't it? Of course I find its always the case that supertruckers always find the time to biotch about low-time drivers, but never the time to help them out or show them the ropes.
