Pike ,TN., Semi lowered his trailer under a 11'4" bridge.

When your driving the big rigs and you see a low bridge,even if your GPS says you are good to go.
#1) Should you crawl up to it stop,before you hear a crunch,and look up to see if you can make it under?
OR
#2) Do you close your eyes,hang onto your steering wheel real tight,and hammer down?

I just can't get why when a trucker sees a 11'4" sign before a bridge, he thinks gee if I go real fast I can make this,cuzz my GPS shows this is the way to go?

#1 is for sissies and old men, always hammer down and get some #2, but don't hold the wheel too tight or if the wheel jerks you may spill your coffee, or spell something wrong on that all important text you were writing. :D

It's a darn shame his bull-guard wasn't roof mounted.

#3) NEITHER. Just haul ace and when stuck, attempt to pull 5th pin and if successful, continue to truckslop to shower (clean up to go to JAIL) and await Police who WILL arrive.
Use 4 wheeler General Positioning Stupidity to secure best route to Truckslop.

Always GLAD to read about the growing number(s) of INCOMPETENT DRIVERS.
Thank You Apostolic!!
