"The impact sheered off a large piece of metal that remained stuck dangling from the bridge and blew off the rear doors to the trailer, but the truck was able to continue onto I-290, where the driver was stopped by police."

Yea he felt the hit but in his mind he thought "maybe if I act like it didnt happen it wont be as bad as it sounded maybe it was just my antennas yea thats it just the antennas"....But my buddy had a driver that hit a bridge in Oregon taking the entire top off the truck pulling a flatbed and somehow made it to Bakersfield Ca true story I swear! My bud gave him a reload back to Or made him stop at the bridge and called the cops made it seem like it just happenedto get his insurance money true story!

The railroad bridges in Binghamton have taken a beating this summer also..

maybe his dispatcher told him he was going to be in the flatbed fleet next week, and he didn't want to change trailers?
walstib Thanks this. -
Had heard of the NYC conditions, and the reciever told me it could make it in on his route. Luckily I came in late enough that I didn't hold up to much traffic, while crawling up to the bridges, and then backing up to go find the next one. Real eventful night that was!
Lesson learned...
