    A driver that works at the same company as I do recently did the same thing in Portage, IN. He hit a low bridge at 60mph that was well marked at....................... wait for it.......... wait for it.......... 11'5"!:biggrin_25524:

    How in the world someone thinks they can make it under a bridge that is #### near at eye level is beyond me.

    company was refusing to pay for me to see a DR.. They wanted to play the waiting game to see if i felt better. My health insurance was 2 weeks from kicking in, so had to depend on them..

    Where is this bridge in Wisconsin?
    How could you get a ticket for being off-duty in passenger seat?

    It's the way logging rules work for teams.

    I90/194 in Milwakee across from the baseball stadium. Driver took an off ramp. Instead of following the truck route, he made a left turn into the bridge.

    My first question was, how many times have i told you to read your effing signs.

    Unless I missed something in the book (which I admit I miss alot), logging rules are the same for teams or solo and off duty is off duty.
