    Sure can, I have done it before, or the fire department. Or, like was stated, call the consignee or shipper for directions just to be safe. When in doubt, go around is my motto. If the place you are going is on the other side of that overpass, I would use it, but that is just me.

    It’s only 15 miles to go around it (i know 15 miles sucks, but it could be worse) ? I’d get rolling around it. Make your decision, then never look back or give it a second thought. Time to roll

    There you go. I am not there, hard to judge from a photo on google. Like I said earlier, when in doubt, go around. That philosophy, or way of thinking has saved me more than a few times. Even if someone says go. ;-)

    Yeah last night I started to turn down there and was like WTF is that and found a strip mall that forgot their no trucks allowed signs and spent the night there now I'm eighteen hours into a reset and don't want to move quite yet so in the morning I will head out of this parking lot and next time I come here there will probably be a sign saying no trucks
