    It's common knowledge that directions from people that work there only know one way to get there, in a 4-wheeler. Sorry to burst your bubble but you were lucky. Stick around a while and listen, you'll see.

    come on how hard is it to get through that? i thought for a minute you were worried about the height. I've seen weight bridges narrower than that.

    I don't see any white painted teeth on it, so it's probably ok.

    2 years of navigating by customer directions and never got lost. No gps. Just atlas and customer directions.

    Actually that was a tongue in cheek remark not to be taken seriously. But actually, painting white shark teeth on any overpass that a tractor trailer can't clear might not be a bad idea. You know those graffiti artists who like to tag railroad cars...Let them tag shark teeth to these too low or too narrow overpasses. Urban art that serves a real purpose.

    I can think of a couple corners that were too sharp and a 5 ton bridge within the last two years. "we get trucks in here all the time" usually means a single screw truck and pup trailer. :) Funny thing is the GPS had the proper route, but I was supposed to follow customer directions because people were having too much trouble and needed "help"....

    I’d have to say not.

    I’d want to watch someone else try it first.
