    There is a sign in my truck that says 13'7". But I have fit under 13' 6" (exactly) bridge. When loaded.... I did not try it when empty.

    Ya, trucks use the 12' 10" lane!

    Mikee did you go into that center 13'6" lane with no problems? This city is simply not meant for big trucks. :-(

    No not that one...

    It was Southbound on South Ashland Avenue at I-55.
