    You'd think the driver would've paid attention to the 10'8" sign at the trestle (or actually before that) and remembered that he/she is pulling 13'6" pup trailers...:rolleyes:

    How do you look at 10'8" and say, "Yeah, it'll fit?"

    Most trailers, depending on how the 5th wheel is set, are 13'4". Still, Jesus Christ, a 10 foot bridge?

    Even if he had a mid-roof, there are still trailers to account for. That's not an empty flatbed back there.
