    This happened to me countless times. Every time so far I've had the best luck with getting my jackhammer out and removing 2 inches of asphalt from the road. People call me dumb, but I've never hit an underpass yet

    I’ve been under it before, fed wrecks use it daily, off Mallory in Memphis.
    Its more like 13’8”

    Windshield was clean yesterday, thats one day/part night and parking in a dirt lot waiting to unload with trucks flying through parking lot stirring dust.

    I laughed at myself the other day when I went under a 13'6" bridge in Fort Worth and I instinctively ducked.

    One time I saw a sign that said low clearance with no measurement down a road I hadn't tried before. Thought no problem, I like to explore, so I went ahead and turned down it. Yeah, she was posted at 10' something once you got there. 40' trailer makes it easy to get out of any situation though. Just another day hauling fuel in a metro area.

    Listen to the guy in the Dodge Charger telling me I'll make it while filming me. Works every time.
