    That's not going to work our trucks and trailers are 13' high.

    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:
