Pull over and see if a local uses that route.

First of all you should know the height of your equipment what you weight empty with a full tank half tank and all the other stuff. If your trailer is 13'7 I wouldn't go under it. You should knows all this stuff before you start driving. IMO

Plus call shipper and see what the truck route is.

I'd proceed at the posted speed limit. Hard parts on my tractor will clear 10'...trailer needs 11'. Either way, I've got nothing to worry about from a 13'6" overhead structure.

I have gone under 13 '6 bridges before with still a foot of room to play with. But not every bridge is the same different localities label bridges differently.

I would keep on going as i have many times. Just hold my breath as i go under. You can fit a 13' 6 truck and trl under a 13' 6 bridge.
BigDog Trucker, starmac, 88228822 and 1 other person Thank this. -
i would run the middle of the road under the bridge as it will most likely be the highest part.if things look too close for you get out and look before going under but you should be fine.drop the air bags if you need to. most company rigs with the low pro 22.5's are not 13.6 tall.
