I can't decide exactly why I like these videos, but I can watch them over and over:

That is great we have truck training every year and they tell you watch out for low bridges. We have had three or four trucks do this same thing hard to believe. I take it most didn't have jobs the next day.

PLEASE TELL ME that there are other signs other than the ones that are 2 FEET IN FRONT OF THE BRIDGE!!!??? Something is telling me that there is a serious sign issue what that bridge.

I learned very early in my truck driving days to always read bridge signs since my first job was hauling heavy equipment.

This video reminds me of a time I was in Pittsburgh with a 13'6" (standard trailer) that I got myself turned around and was trying to get back to the main road when I came across a "Truck Route". Let me ask you this, what would come to one's mind if they are driving a truck and was in fact on a "Truck Route"? Probably the same thing I was thinking.... 13'6" shouldn't be a problem, right? Well that is the wrong answer, that damn city lead me down a "Truck Route" only to find one of those friggen bridges. I didn't hit it but I was sure as hell VERY pissed off trying to turn my truck and trailer around to get out of their.
