    And he wasn't even that wide, definitely not paying attention!! I always get up on the shoulder/sidewalk thingy on the right to avoid the booth!

    And there is problem, he wasn’t even in the proper lane of the tollbooth he should have been in, he was next lane over for legal width loads.

    I come through there with oversized loads out of Florida at 13’-6” and just as you mentioned get up on the curb to the right to avoid any problems hitting the tollbooth if I need to.

    As you and I know there are signs directing us wider loads to the far right booth to avoid these issues, driver must have been not paying attention or suffering from the inability to read a road sign….
