    oh hell, I do that a couple times a month. Wait til they lean a ladder against the container and hand you a shovel.

    Last fall I pulled an ex-covenant USXpress trailer, it had a little metal bracket on the top of the trailer that put me over height. At rest, loaded, it was 13'8" tall. They made me dump my bags an crawl thru the tunnel (loveland was closed). On the way back empty, I was still 13'8". Got flagged in, the guy ran his height pole along the trailer and it bumped something on top. Put the ladder up and made me check it out. Spent 20 minutes in wind/rain with a 3lb sledge, prybar and a screw driver taking the piece off. Looked like it might have held a tracking unit on at one time. I cussed that CDOT guy out for 2 days.
