    Wow @ the damage
    The driver definitely didn't try creeping under.

    Department of Homeland Security ( DHS ) has failed. The Railroad bridge over pass has been in the public far too long, Aggressive Attack on a Tractor Trailer and on a American Driver and Carrier. This is a ACT of Terrorism trying to blow up a tractor trailer. All railroad over passes should have DHS inspections... :biggrin_255: This is not a drivers problem!!!

    Take a look at that video. Local or not, how in the world do you miss a big yellow sign saying, "12' Clearance"? The only acceptable excuse for that is if Stevie Wonder somehow got a CDL.

    Wow... looks like he was doing a pretty good clip when he struck it.

    Ouch.

    Don't tempt SWIFT with hiring Stevie...that would kill 2 birds with one stone. It would be positive points for affirmative action and employing the handicapped.

    ...don't even mention swift to me today. I wanted to perform a quick adjustment to what I think was a lease/op. I can think of no one crazy enough to willingly follow an SNI truck for 30 miles; I'm pretty sure he was close enough to me so if I had hit the brakes he and I both would've been royally screwed. (Then he turtle races me, jb hunt and another rig...all governed.). Best part? He couldn't keep speed. All that after he passes. Rolls canardly...

    Hell, I might have preferred Stevie...

    I think you guys have it all wrong. It's pretty clear to me. He wanted to open up a flatbed division!
