    Yeah, that'd be a good indicator. Careful when there's a dip in the road, though. A trailer can get levered into the overhead while you're bridging the dip. Never happened to me, and I'd hope that whoever marks the bridge takes it into account... but after a friend of mine got scraped under a bridge *marked* 13'6" (a fresh layer of asphalt was put down, and the sign hadn't been changed), I take everything with a grain of salt.

    I'm surprised it took that many posts in for some one to post that comment.

    Because of this I was called "crash" for an extended time. You've got a few months yet until you live that one down.

    I got stuck alright. Required two wreckers to extract that one.

    My pride needed another wrecker to pull it out of the ditch.
