Looks painful.


Which one was your favorite shave?

Oh and apparently this bridge has been nicknamed as the can opener. Source: NBC News

    And this is why I don't like driving near huge vehicles.

    Ok that is obviously a high traffic area and something needs to be done about that bridge. Granted yeah the drivers are stupid, but can you imagine how many jobs were lost because that bridge?

    A lot of these look to be in small towns, so I don't imagine a lot of locals lost jobs/businesses due to low overhead. Though there really should be a required overhead space that all overpasses must meet.

    My question is, did none of them stop and think if they would actually fit? Even if they're in the drivers seat just one look at that would have sent me on another route.

    Probably.

    Well I will tell you this, it has probably put quite a bit of people into 1000's into debt. Truck rental insurance does not cover that.

    Riperonies.

    Imagine moving house, and these guys did this to your belongings. Remember this, they like to stack the truck to the ceiling, and to the front of the truck. The front of the truck is the first to get hit.

    So what would you do to the driver if you found out they did this?

    I'd be fine if they apologized and maybe even offered to replace some of the items. I would be pissed if like half the cargo fell out on contact and they told me they didn't bother picking it up though.

    For any interested, there is a certain underpass that is very notorious for this:

    Wow, how would a trucker explain this to their boss? "Uh, we need a new bridge-I mean route." This is why most trucks should go slow and actually look at the signs posted in front of the bridge. Out of all of them there were only a few going slow enough, but they really didn't know the height of their own truck.

    I remember renting a mid-sized U-Haul years ago when moving from WV to NJ and the rental associate warned us of low bridges like that. They had a few photos behind the counter showing some of their trucks damaged in the past. RIP trucks lol.
