    Next week they'll have a hail sale.

    As in "Oh Hail !!"

    And the recruiting ad on the tail of the trl looks ironic as it's being towed away. It should say "Drive for PMTG. We have another immediate opening"

    "When a truck that's 13 feet 6 inches tall tries to drive under a bridge that's not quite that tall, it doesn't make it," said city Patrolman Jeff Carpenter, who responded to the scene.


    Thank you Captain Obvious.

    Our gps is made specifically for cars.

    For argument sake, if this driver was misusing a four-wheeler gps, I guess that's what sets us apart; we know how to use ours.

    Even truck gps's have been known to put you on a route that's off limits to commercial vehicles.

    Down in Sealy Texas on TX36 as your coming into town there is an over head bar with what appears to be wind chimes hanging from it. The sign reads "if you hit these YOU WILL HIT THE BRIDGE" I'd be willing to bet someone has still hit the bridge.

    It's 14 feet. I'm assuming it's mostly agricultural equipment that comes through there and hits it.
