    A high cube container on a flatbed would hit that bridge.

    The worst pilot I've had is a tie between a woman in OK that didn't let me know when there were oncoming trucks (and didn't appear to let them know either). I was 14-something wide, $5,000,000, value, on a narrow, winding, two-lane with intermittent barriers on both sides. The other was a self-proclaimed "experienced" pilot in northern BC that told me I was clear in a detour when I wasn't... load got damaged.

    One of the best was a guy I never met. I picked him up on the fly (KS?) and dropped him the same... did everything over the phone and radio.

    I'm not sure, but I think they recently fixed that, last time I was through there it looked like they might have excavated and dropped the road surface a tad.

    How many of the guys that hit that were wearing turbans?

    That's what I was thinking. High cubes are what 8'6" tall.

    The question is how did that curtain side hit the 14'1" bridge.

    An 8' 6" cube, would not hit that bridge on my trailer... but I know several it would hit on.

    That is my question too... how did the curtain side hit? Are they offered in different heights for different states?
