    Got to see this one in person today. Maybe because of the rain the driver couldn't read the height signs? Tons of reviews on Google from drivers offering turn by turn directions for trucks that exceed 12' 7".....

    The crazy part is that Woodridge,like other portions of DuPage County in that area is mostly suburban,there really isn’t any industrial areas around there.
     
    Bean Jr. Thanks this.

    No, nothing funny going on here. Nothing at all. These aren’t the droids you’re looking for. Move it along. :rolleyes:
