    Great example. I will add this to my training and much more before I haul my first load.

    Another real world -

    You permit IL at 14' tall, permit comes back. You come across a bridge posted at 13' 9" on your permitted route,

    What do you do?

    Is this a trick question? How tall is the load? Is it 14ft on my trailer? 13”9 bridge is a drive it

    It's not a trick question.

    14' tall is your verified (by you) sticked height overall loaded on the load.

    The state approves the route and sends you the permit.

    While driving (not looking at your phone or GPS), you see an overhead clearance at less than what your verified height is.

    What do you do?

    I hate to say this, but, it sounds like your company had this trailer sitting around not making any money and you fell for the "good deal"

    Let’s see. I have a good feeling about this heavy haul stuff. This much hate must have a gold mine behind it. I’m coming for that gold

    I'm dealing with my own hell of a day - I can't respond to you in the moment, so - again -

    WHAT DO YOU DO?
