It's really important to know how tall your trailer is

I spent many hours of watching Bonehead Truckers while waiting to get loaded.

I find it amusing that a bridge has it's own website and YouTube channel.

The "logistics" on the trailer door is hilarious...

I've watched the 11'8" Bridge channel for years! Hours of Fun.

For years the Westwood PD posted videos of mishaps at a particular railroad bridge.  This garnered social media attention.

The bridge has been replaced so the clearance issues are gone.

So THAT'S how they make accordions!

I believe that bridge has been "fixed" recently, the YT channel was entertaining. Lots of Ryder trucks, motor homes, etc.

I'm guessing the standard height of a 5 ton box van is right at 12'. It's amazing how many just skim off the roof panel.

If I lived nearby, I would make a living salvaging scrap aluminum.

The video is the fixed bridge. It was the 11'8" bridge. It was raised 8" so they call it 11'8" plus 8".

I’ve said for years that they need to make it tougher to get a drivers licence.? That said, you have to wonder if some of these people even bothered to get one….or had someone else take the test for them??

Doesn't he just carry on driving? Looks like to me. He's got a surprise coming when he gets to his destination.

I've been noticing old bridges in my area have scars underneath, along with fragments of box truck roofs wedged in structural members.  Even a new bridge that replaced an older one a few years ago bears scrapes in the shinyish paint.  One old bridge in the same town had been hit numerous times, but the final punch came from a cement mixer.  That bridge was removed and left to the side.  That railroad branch (or siding?) remains out of service IIRC.
