So you get in a truck and start trucking, well sometimes you may come to the point where you are taller than a bridge.
Visual aid
Tall truck+low overpass= you better check

I have seen those videos i the past, and they are always good for a laugh.
Too many times, those class B trucks are driven by people that are moving. Of course, there are times when an alleged knowledgeable driver is behind the wheel. Many of those are the yutz's that get hired by the delivery companies.
I say, "keep it up, we need more laughs in our lives".
That "JB Hunt" video, was most likely an o/o, not a company driver, as his cab attests to. And to be an o/o, or the driver for one, how stupid can one be??aiwiron Thanks this. -
As a professional driver you will know how to pre-plan your trips and should never run into those situations. Also a good lesson as to not getting off an exit you don't know about. Especially in Chicago!
aiwiron Thanks this. -
Well.....some of them made it............kind of.

If drivers would only read the signs.I can only imagine the bill jb had to pay.

There is a low bridge down town near where I live. Its barely 10' and im always seeing in the news some idiot tried to stuff their trailer under it again.
Its well marked, they have flashing lights, signs, chains, rumble strips anything and everything to alert you to the fact its there. They even have signs a block before you get there warning you its coming. But, the idiots continue to test their luck. -
Wonder if GPS had anything to do with it?
-
If drivers can't do the simple math to figure out the height of their trailer, it is no wonder that so many fail as fleece operators!
-
Ya mean those drivers weren't delivering those bridges. Who woulda thunk it.
