Gave up too easy, I think they could have powered out of that and, "gee boss, I don't know how the under ride bar got bent",,,

Such a alluring tempting turnaround spot.
In my day I had a little cabover and a 45 footer... easy peasy.
Not today for sure.
How is it possible for our esteemed Highway Builders and Designers to map out a intersesction or any kind of open space that is paved for trucking and cars to get stuck in something deliberately built to say 54 feet, just enough to entrap a 65 or 70 foot vehicle. Surely they cannot be all that stupid.
If you don't understand me.. I explain my showing you the West. If a town is not a town until the main street is wide enough to swing a 6 horse team and stage coach around anywhere on that main street in the entire town back in the 1870's Im pretty sure I can do a U turn with a semi in that space. -
you can watch the video of it getting stuck here

Saw a Werner the other day getting ready to Crest the hill on I-65 heading into Nashville, the one that advises of crosswinds. It's marked 60, but it's a nothing dowhill. Most run 70. The curve isn't even bad. Anyway, he hir the brakes going up the hill. When he crested he couldn't have been doing 50. I assume scared to death. Sad they turn people out lacking confidence to deal with things like this. Hope he made Monteagle.
