Same thing happens at a couple places here in town occasionally.
The lot I worked at him Portland for several years was right across the street form a local slightly upscale fast food burger joint, especially on nice summer days usually at least a couple times a weekend and a time or two during the week, someone comes out arms full with sacks of the family dinner, set drinks on roof, get in car fire it up and go and we’d get to see a few forgotten milkshakes and soft drinks spill down over the windshield as they braked before exciting, once I had a good chuckle, a guy in a big ass 4X4, I was motioning up and yelling at him your drink,your drink, he had his stereo on 11 and glared at me and waved me off, then bounced over the curb spilling his coke over the windshield, he looked back at me and gave me an embarrassed grin and a throws his hand up rolls his head, like “Oh I get it now”
No, I’m not stuck, I am trying to deliver this bridge, why the FUCK do you ask?
Do driver’s not know how tall their rigs are?
Of course - it is a matter of being distracted - not paying attention - cud happen to anyone really
I guess that’s true.
And prolly assuming they all have enough clearance.
Gotta point out, that is one tough piece of engineering.
But not tougher than a motivated Truck Driver!
You’ll never see a schoolie in one of these videos, not even close. BlueBirds, Thomas/Whites, IC/Internationals, in the eight years I drove them I never saw any full-size schoolie on a five-ton chassis that would get under less than thirteen and a half feet, nor a driver dumb enough to try.
And that’s a Real 13’ 6", not a road that’s had successive rehabs with 2-3 inches of asphalt added each time and also not an underpass where you go down and come back up and the 8th grade geometry lesson is waiting at the nadir to bite yer ass.
Also, the best dispatchers will only know the city well enough to warn you away from it about half the time.
lol, reminds me, a friend of mine, she married an Iranian guy named Nadir, and he was a low point in her life. (not because he was Iranian, but because he was an asshole)
