Are you sure that those aren't part of Knight's new aerodynamic low drag trailer experiment?

I'm laughing, but it's not really funny. Obviously someone can get seriously hurt.

Just heard about a driver getting killed in the Lehigh tunnel in PA. A piece of electrical conduit fell into his windshield and killed him. That's in a legal tunnel for trucks. Now imagine what can happen after you hit a low bridge and knock something loose, and a car with kids goes under it next.

Weekly, I run that tunnel. Scary. The State is thus far rather quiet.

Here is a famous 11 foot 8 bridge. We MUST pay attention to signs.

Haha yes I have actually watched hours of these videos of that bridge in North Carolina. What amazes me is the locals seem to be so used to trucks hitting it that they just usually go around and don't even stop.. kind of a sad state of affairs really.

Are they parked in the Cresonna SAPA lot?

If so, I bet I know the bridge they tried to get under...less than a mile away. Blind and Dumb.

Is that the famous 11' 8" bridge?

That is the one I was thinking of.
