    COPS (to driver): Are you stuck?
    Driver: Nope, I'm delivering a bridge.

    I could make out the 11', but I couldn't see the inches. lol


    I think this picture might be a keeper. We need to blow it up and put it in the humor section of the forum.

    I think even a Mexican trucker could read a low clearance sign! This driver should have to pay back his company for the wrecker bill, equipment damage, and by the way LOSE HIS JOB!! Stuff like this is just another example of drivers in our industry that give us all a bad reputation!!!
