    In the link I posted it stated that some of the pallets were marked "Conklin" which tells me he/she was probably headed for Maines Paper and Foods Conklin, NY.....If this was the case the driver wasn't anywhere near where he/she should have been.....

    geez, I wonder if a GPS played a role in all of this ?!?!?!? :biggrin_25510:

    CRE's way of thinking....What are the odds of hitting a bridge twice? Give the guy a promotion.

    If I done something like that, I'd just have to accept I was stupid and go through life in a care free way. :)

    Lol, just went under a similar bridge in New Jersey marked 10'11"...but I did something crazy...check this out. I creeped up to it and then got out of my truck about 3 or 4 feet before I actually went under it. Don't know why but it works...LMAO. Rather look like an A-Hole for stopping traffic than looking like this guy.

    Side note drivers, don't know about other states, but in New York, it is illegal to exceed POSTED bridge height, even if you can make it.

    If that's the case, it's illegal for a 13'6 truck to travel on pretty much all of the interstates through NYC/Long Island.
