11'-0''.....must have been looking at the G.P.S ???
Forget the GPS anyone driving for a living must be able to tell if an overpass is lower than their vehicle.
Come on give it up about blaming GPS already!
Plus the other thing is when you get your CDL one of the requirements is the ability to read english.
When this trucker drove up on the bridge height sign you'd think he may have a clue 11 feet aint going to allow 13'6" to go under.

A GPS is a tool of the trade and thats all, this tool is only a good tool when operated by a common sense driver. I have not seen any articles in a newspaper that shows that a GPS was the excuse for having this accident. If you are so ignorant to follow a GPS, no matter where it tells you to go then you should not even have drivers license and definitely not an CDL.
The news article I snatched these pics from stated the driver blamed his gps.

Some LOSER told this LOSER that he was driving a large CAR.
ANOTHER OF THE MANY that are too STUPID or INCOMPETENT to be driving anything larger than Tonka.
I HOPE it was his truck however it now is anyways and the good thing is he'll have it listed on his DAC/USIS record for all time.
For him, GPS means Glaringly Proven Stupidity.
It would be really nice and FUN if these LOSERS had their physical addresses published so some People could aggravate and pester them.
If this LOSER is a foreigner, SEND HIM BACK with his GPS.
