    Nice going. I think he's letting the air out of the drive tires. Have fun returning that can.

    That might be a gooseneck chassis. It changes the whole ballgame as far as clearances are concerned.

    We used them for higher than standard containers to still maybe get within around 13.8 or so at the 5th wheel. Should be 13.6 but it never really worked out that way with the tractors we had.

    Had fun taking a short cut through chicago- wound up only having to disconnect both leveling valves on drives and cab air bags. Cleared bridge with a few inches to spare lol.

    As an old can hauler myself, the story goes, a driver ran his trailer under a low bridge, as the police and tow crew scratched their heads, arguing the best way to get it out, when a young boy rides up on a bicycle, looks at the situation, and says to the cop, "why don't you just let the air out of the tires?":dontknow:
     
    Fuelinmyveins and AModelCat Thank this.

    Jesus H Chri- Lake and Wabash?

    How did he even get in there......? Looks like he's heading west on lake, musta came up or down Michigan ave because that's the only way he'll get westbound on lake.

    He wasn't on Randolph or Wacker that's for sure.

    Nothing around there to accept a typical 53' domestic container logistically speaking- Yeah,He was lost Big Time!!.. Good Luck Getting outta that one

    Farther west he goes the more damage he'll do till he gets to at least Milwaukee ave
