I have seen signs like that before.

I purchased a ticket to the California Highway Patrolman's Ball, about two years ago. He never said anything about it NOT going on my record.

Basically, if you are looking at leasing, then maybe Landstar might be a better bet, because I think ALL of their trucks are lease trucks. The playing field is pretty much even.
Even then, I am sure the hard charging drivers get the better runs.

Miss Vamp, I thought you were already in school. I don't know why I thought that, but I did.

Heck, I've been across that bridge several times in the past, it's a beautiful little town.
When you say been across, you mean in a regular 4-wheeler, right?
What is the height clearance by your estimation?

I for the life of me do not know where he was going. Unless he was coming in the other direction. If that is true, then he must have made a wrong turn somewhere.

The previous link said the clearance was 13'6". I say BS.
Here's another link, that says vertical clearance is less than 11'.
Dimensions:
Length of largest span: 90.5 ft. Total length: 92.8 ft.
Deck width: 15.7 ft.
Vertical clearance above deck: 10.8 ft.

Now, look at the link, and tell me how anyone can think that a truck can get across this bridge...

Here's an idea, and I'm sure we're all guilty of NOT calling ahead to find a route to the shipper or receiver.
It's a case of following the GPS and NOT looking at the maps or NOT extending the map out on the GPS to see if the route is actually doable.
I just wonder if the clearance on the bridge was anywhere near 13'6". There is a bridge in Iowa on a gravel road OFF OF US 30 and the sign says the bridge height is 8'.

Here's another thing, that I don't get. The accident happened during the day time. There also looked like there was a place to back up and maybe get turned around.
