    The drivers teammate was responsible for telling him about all low bridge signs. Unfortunately, he fell asleep in the jump seat.

    My RM TND-720 has routed me through a few that I couldn't get under in NYC. I didn't take the bait, but did have to back through traffic to the next closest intersection. I actually did manage to slide under a marked 13'4" in upstate NY that it routed me through, though. That one I actually pulled up to, then got out and looked.

    I think he didn't saw that warning sign that's why he continue to drive the truck or maybe he was fell asleep.

    I was once running US 11 to avoid a tie up north of Meridian, MS on 20/59 and decided to stay on and Jump back on at York, AL. Well there's a 13'-4" bridge in York. I went under it but very slow!

    US24 is an STAA route up to I-435. I guess he was routed across 24 from Illinois, can't think of any other reason to be on that road going to Denver.
