    Oh wow. That trainee needs to look for a company that doesn't frown on rollovers that are his fault. Lol

    My first one... (No one told me ever...) I see the numbers fail the 13.6 rule. SLAM on all brakes. Blue smoke all over.

    Radio lights up, *&^% etc. And additional trucks behind me try to resolve their new problems.

    See other big trucks fit, so I think I fit too.

    HA...

    Yes, well...
    I can only make out part of that sign that looks like ~1'- 10".
    That should scare any trucker.

    How long did you look for that image, just to show I can sometimes be wrong from time to time in certain cases?
    Good job, by the way.

    Actually, you were correct about the lowest part. This bridge is marked 7’10.

    And it seems to have a black and yellow marking with a white line, possibly marking the 7'10" point?
    I couldn't imagine trying to get my truck through that, but I wonder how far back the driver would have needed to back up to actually turn around.

    Sticky wicket, indeed.

    Try putting your chocks tight against the tires on an empty trailer, then getting them out after loading. The bags only control the distance between the trailer body and suspension. At least on the ones I've pulled, mostly tanker.
