    I love the pic that shows clearance is 11' 11"

    I'm sure he is unemployed now. Probably for the best.

    Maybe his trainer hadn't gotten to the chapter that explains how tall trucks are before he had to take a nap.

    "Let's just wedge that right in there"

    Swift driver or other local rail cartage driver, it really doesn't take away from the serious brain fart of the DIC (driver in command)

    Man it takes a bunch of idiots to free a stuck truck.... Drop the air and pull it backwards. Guess that is too simple though. No dump valve on the trailer, simple remove the line from the air bags, back off the brakes and off we go.
