    Rookie driver is my first thought. I couldn’t fit under that bridge empty with my safety cable posts!

    I've never worked that particular truck and trailer setup. I'm guessing he was easily 13ft or better ? That bridge was marked 11ft, WTF ???

    One of the comments said he was a new guy at the terminal. I'm guessing he was in complete information overload... His eyes saw it, but his brain never did.

    That'd make me flinch in my pickup, much less a carhauler!

    Many years ago I got a buddy of mine/fellow Fire Department co-worker a job at CF where I worked on my off duty days 2-4 days a week. He had driven tractor drawn aerial fire trucks for many years so I figured it would be easy for him. I made a point to tell him several times his first day to not “EVER AND I MEAN EVER” go under any overpass without looking at the height first. The ladder truck we both drove was roughly 11’ and we could go under all but one overpass in the city. Later that day I called in to get my pickups and my dispatcher told me my buddy did a number on his trailer. It was a bridge he had been under hundreds of times in an 11’ hook and ladder, but the 13’6 CF trailer didn’t fit so well. It took two wreckers to get him out from under a 12’ something bridge. They made him unload the trailer when the wrecker got him back to the terminal. They didn’t fire him but he was one restricted to working the dock and was one of their best dock workers for many years.

    (2) Roush F150's (big trucks) and (2) Roush F250's (really big trucks) for the left coast..
    I had to work at this one it took a while to get my height down... 13'7" going hard on the chains, those 250's don't pull down easy.
    Probably one of the biggest loads I've put on a Sun Country.. Doesn't look like much but I had some time into this one..:-?

    Piece of cake when you have 80’ to work with! It’s a dirty rig, but there is no end in sight to the rain. CE3353DC-3469-4315-A790-3DCC84F0089F.jpeg 344FAC05-9F85-4075-93EE-A09852E4B4EE.png
