    Empty or loaded? Spring or air ride? :biggrin_25520:

    Seriously, if one wants to do this right way they’ll take a tape measure and measure it, preferably EMPTY and on the back end where it will be about 6 inches taller.

    if the truck is 12’6”and the bridge is 12’4” you only scrape the first time, after that you can breeze under no problem!

    Just for poops and grins and curiosity i’ve measured many rental trucks we’ve used over the years and most come within a 6” range shy of that 13’ sticker. That knowledge can come in handy sometimes.
