Here is what I don't get. You see the trailer crunched. Then when you look at the truck, it looks like the sleeper made it under, but the angle makes it appear that it should have been crunched too.

I noticed that too... what gives?

The top of the tractor is fibreglass and only the top 2 feet were crushed. The whole trailer frame is structural so crushing the top spread wrinkles into the trailer frame.

That does make sense, but if you look at the window at the top, you would think that it would be popped out, or damaged in some way, or that the sleeper would show some kind of "denting," or fiber tear. My guess, is that the angle the person took the picture from created an obstacle delusion.

For the city, company, or whoever to paint the bridge that way, I wonder how many trucks it has eaten since it got built.

The video was nuts, too.

Most tractors nowadays have their own cab air suspensions separate from the rest of the tractor. It's most likely that the suspension gave enough, plus the minor flexibility of the roof portion, to allow it passage.

Although the top is probably scrapped up really bad.

That's a funny way to paint a bridge.

I liked the load he was pulling for "Sleeptronic - Indulge the Difference"

I guess he must have been sleeping or indulging in something other than paying attention.
