Dude should have taken the north loop. IIRC the lowest bridge there is 16' and change.

I’m impressed that the reel actually made between outer beams and appears intact still. That’s going to be a tricky removal

That overpass going under I-10 on McCarthy (13' 10") use to get wacked more times than a TA lot lizard. Especially with those flatbeds hauling the high cube containers.Flat Earth Trucker, mjd4277 and RockinChair Thank this.

You reckon if Google maps has a specific truck app this could be avoided? Narrow and low bridges, weigh restricted, declines, inclines, level crossings that are prone to bogging trucks, etc.
