    Walmart+truck+gets+stuck+under+overpass+(1).jpg This happen from folloing the GPS or OBC in WM terminology. The driver was able to keep his job because he was folloing the directions of the GPS. But how was it he didn't see the clearance I'm not sure. But this is what I'm refering to on common sense vs GPS. I love night driving but if it's an area I'm unfamiliar with or uncomfortable with. I'm gonna stop and access the situation and take it from there. Even if I have to back up 2 miles!!!
