I guess it was too difficult to back straight out?:rolleyes:
Funny thing is he kept hitting those two ceiling beams and his partner kept jumping out to check behind the tires lol.
 
Some people should not be allowed to drive anything bigger than a lawn tractor. If you really want to get scared....to drive a full length 5th RV trailer behind a 1 ton dually pickup, all you generally need is a regular driver's license. And in some states.... tow a boat behind that rig.

In 1983, I was working in a cherry packing plant, which sent a load of frozen fruit south. The sign on the freeway said clearance 13' 8". The trailer measured between 13' 2" and 13" 4". Unfortunately, the state's hired contractor had simply laid down something like 6+" of asphalt, and didn't mill anything off first. That cost the state a fortune when the measuring tapes came out and found out that it didn't meet federal regulations. The trailer rig came to a screaming halt wedged under the bridge (53' trailer,) from 60+ mph.

ROTFLMFAO The fact that they have 2 cameras set up on that bridge may be indicative that just maybe they should raise it like 4" or so.

That's a railroad bridge. Doing anything to it makes highway maintenance look easy in comparison. IMO, there isn't any excuse for not knowing where the corners of your vehicle are.

4" isn't enough, though. To get it up to federal standards would mean either raising the bridge 2' (GODAWFUL expensive, and track work for at least several hundred feet in both directions,) or drop the roadway 2' (and right there? a LOT of highway work all around that intersection.)
 
Lawyer- Before you signed the death certificate,
had you taken the pulse?
Pathologist- No.
Lawyer- Did you listen to the heart?
Pathologist - No.
Lawyer- Did you check for breathing?
Pathologist - No.
Lawyer - So, when you signed the death certificate
you weren't actually sure he was dead, were you?
Pathologist - Well, let me put it to you this way; the
man's brain was sitting in a jar on my desk. But I
guess it's possible he could be out there practicing
law somewhere!

Something like this happened to one of our trucks when I drove the large trucks
Our boss was telling us about it and was getting mad because I claimed that since it was improperly milled, it wasn't the driver's fault!
And I STILL stand by that statement!
