When will drivers STOP hitting this bridge

so did he stop then...LOL...the hard way???

 

Looks like rentals have a below average record with bridges.

Ummmmm,What happened to the dry box??

 

He probably didn't know how long his 53 foot trailer was either.

 

"But my GPS wouldn't steer me wrong!"

 

part of the problem is NY's screwy way of posting heights. When I can take a 13'6" trailer under a bridge that is posted at 12', it makes for confusion. If all the bridges were posted as their actual under clearances, like every other state in the country, then only the real idiots would hit the bridges. But that still might not make any difference in this story!

 

Trailers are 53ft long??

 

That would have been a more 'respectable' excuse if the guy had said that instead of 'I don't know how tall my trailer is".

There is a quote in the article about truck drivers being the 'pros'. That is true and we are supposed to know that there are 6 sides to the tractor/trailer and must know what is there even if we cannot see it.

 

Maybe when someone finally knocks it down!

 

I see something that hasn't been posted here yet. An opening for another rookie with Knight Transport.
