    I never have any problems. Then again, my truck is only 12'2".

    but it's on I-376. I've seen plenty of vans going down the highway. as long as you're legal, you're good.,

    Been through both that one and Ft. Pitt, actually the tunnels aren't as bad as some of the other things we do in that area, they have warning lights flashing if you are tall, and direct you to the center (inside) lane.

    I don't think they are that close, myself.
