    There is no excuse for that....he wasn't looking or he would have seen that big yellow sign that is obstructed by the trailer...my money says it reads this...12'6".

    Yep, it does. By clicking on the link it shows the bridge without the truck. The numbers are not in the drivers favor. :biggrin_25512:

    Consider this,,
    Maybe it's a new employee, who wasn't aware of the low bridge, and or no one told him about it, when he was being trained by his employer.

    Yes, it i wonder why he didn't see the clearnce signs. And i wonder how mach advance warning there is, leading up to this.

    Yes i have to say, he's probly unemployed now.
