    Had to turn right at the end of the board road, the had it set up to back in loaded. Very small site and I was surprised I was able to get in and out with only a little help.

    Another reason I always liked Non-ground bearing lowboys and beam trailers. I didn't have much ground clearance at all with this beam trailer I use to pull.

    There's a salvage yard around the corner from our terminal that car carriers are ALWAYS bottoming out trying to get backed into.

    Why can't Rand McNally add ground clearances, as well as bridge clearances, to their modus operandi?!? Or... why DON'T they?!?

    SOME is the operative word. As many trucks come across SR42 and 314 here, it should be in there, but it sure isn't. At least not in the 2016 version. I've not gotten the 2017 yet (cheap!) but maybe, just maybe...it's there. Now you got me curious, LoL!~
