Re: oops!!!
I used to drive truck for Boston to Buffalo Express when I lived in Rochester in '84 and '85. I still remember the series of low overpasses (train if I remember right) that split the city in two. Man, what a pain! One time I went into one of the longer ones at which I carefully stopped to check my clearance. Everything went great until I got near the other end and heard a loud pop/[img]/w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif[/img] Luckily for me not too much damage.
Another incident happened over near Rochester Products on Lexington Ave. I was following an Iveco straight truck who was heading for an overpass that I knew he wouldn't make. I kept hoping he'd realize it but sure enough....BAM!!!! That bridge opened that truck like a can opener. The rear door was now laying down in a horizontal position. I'm betting he was unemployed the next day. You just can't believe the stories you hear when you hang with truckers[img]/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif[/img]
