Another tractor-trailer stuck under the same West Haven, CT railroad overpass

That would mean the city is deliberately trying
To get trucks wedged under the overpass,knowing
Full well that they couldn't make it all the way thru.
There dum but they ain't that dum.

 

Sarcasm was in my post.


Unless thats their point cause they want a new overpass.

 

I remember that bridge. And no I did not get stuck there either. What I did do was call the law to come close the highway while i made the U Turn to get back to the interstate.

 

Good grief,stupid driver.I was going to suggest making that area a no truck route but who reads signs in today's industry.

 

They're all following their GPS maybe. GPS has made drivers extra stupid.

 

GPS does make people stupid.

There was a Celluar tower with land built onto a old road that connected with US 1 in delaware off a large bridge crossing. The old road was buried under the new Celluar tower, it's fuel tanks and supporting buildings plus land scaping, razor wire fencing etc. The old road had about half a mile of it built in a new connection 600 feet further east. The Rand McNally Streets software with GPS antenna never was updated with the new change in particular.

I was in very thick fog that you could not see the hood nor the last 2/3 of the trailer in the mirriors and was driving via the laptop screen following the little road diagrams as I sometimes did and made the turn actually. When I came out of the turn I was on grass inside a 20 acre cell tower surrounded by guide wires, anchors fuel tanks and so on and on and on. Lots of little tire popping devices in that ground too. I was visualizing 18 flat tires and a very angry boss stroking out in a short time if I screwed up getting that big pig off the property.

If I can be misled by a GPS software that has not updated and failed to keep my eyes outside the windshield rather than driving via laptop in that horrible fog I might have seen the old connection's new construction before even turning. But Im not so sure. It was that thick that night. As it sometimes does when you are near the sea. That is another thing I will have to remedy someday not too far into the future, get back to the atlantic for a week or so and soak into that sea. We don't have that here in Arkansas.

 

Problem is too many drivers can not read write or speak English these days. How do they even get their CDL?

 

I use to deliver to the VA med center off of Cambell Ave,exit 43 was the exit they should have taken, even then there is a low bridge under the highway .

 

I understand that english comprehension is required in the industry by law. If they don't have enough english knowledge to pass the necessary written tests and so on they should not be allowed to have a CDL.

 

Que`?

Hey, Heavy, WE all know this. But apparently a lot of the folks that issue Class A licenses don't.
I don't know what kind of fraud happens when you have folks who can't even speak or understand spoken English, let alone read and understand it, but still are in possession of the commercial license. smh
