    You guys haven't heard the best part yet.

    This was not the first, but the SECOND driver to hit that bridge with none other than a truck that was former Penske, so it has the height written on the front corner backwards so it can be readable in the mirrors.

    I'm mean I guess accidents happen, but I don't totally get it. The sing says 11' the truck says 13' or what ever it is, where is the disconnect? Is the driver going well in the real world I have to get this delivery done and it'll work. I'm trying to rationalize it, but it's hard to do.

    For everything that goes through on the ground, there is a scary amount that gets through and on to Cargo Planes (UPS/FedEx/DHL). Then you have the incompetent buttwhistles that don't check anything and just sign off.

    Save your brain.

    You can't rationalize the irrational. :)

    Around my place that's how we treat the ones who tend to have no problem getting their work done.

    It's a rare phenomenon anymore thankfully when I'm still trying to make deliveries at 5:00 PM.

    Somebody is awfully optimistic, thinking the driver will check the mirror.:confused:
