bridge sign says 13' 6"

My truck. Is 12'3" at the tip of the stacks, company says technically its 12'6". Ok fine, I will go under the aforementioned picture, if its lower than 12'10" ill go around just to be sure

 

Probably ease up on it and look for evidence of contact from previous trucks.

I suspect, without any evidence, clearances marked 13'6" and "low" are low only compared to the new requirement of minimum clearance of 16'.

 

Gotcha, no wonder I made it [emoji1]

 

You never trust a clearance sign because you don't know when it was put there. It could be the first sign posted long before the road was repaired with new asphalt. In other words. YOU never know. Either you wait and watch, do some type of measurement, or go around. You can try to get under the bridge very slowly but if you get hung up IT'S your fault and you're going to pay. Regardless of what the sign says you will lose in court and pay for everything. I know from past experience reviewing records the driver is always to blame unless that driver has some very good proof he's in the right. And just because the sign says so will not work.

 

Let the air out of the tires! Should be good to go then!

 

You're right when calling 911 and that's what I always tell them if its not really an emergency.

 

Always? Dang patty. How often are you calling 911?

 

I'm 12'6" to the top of the tallest bin, empty. Rubber block suspension squats a bit when loaded......but our signs are metric..lol. 3.8m or better......

Currently running gravel in 20yd cans, height of the cab.....to the tips of the CB antennas I'm 11'6"

Key is: MEASURE YOUR #### & PAY ATTENTION........i always have a tape in the truck for those "yea, I'm gonna tarp that" loads

 

Sign says 11'6, once a week, someone tries to take a 13'3" truck under it, apparently comprehension is not good
