    That truck had no business being in there! Not only was he way overlength, but he didn't have enough clearance. And no, a normal set (2 28' trailers and perhaps a daycab) still couldn't have made it. Given the clearance, I wouldn't even have bothered with a single pup.

    Ok I confess. I laughed. Even more funny was the driver that gave it more throttle when the roof pinched the trailer. Hey, it isnt my building or driving so I see it as humorous.
