Good morning!!!!

[kenmbz]

I have almost been that guy or gal. Parking garages with wifes truck. The antenna always seems to hit the support beams.

Time to flatten the tires.

We have a few of these narrow short bridges here. Barely get 2 cars across. When I travel it, mirrors get brought in.

The resulting 7.5-foot lane width is 4.5 feet less than the standard 12-foot-wide interstate highway lane. The bridge's height limit is 10 feet. The bridge's two highest traffic years were 2013 and 2016, when a daily average of 7,500 vehicles crossed. A daily average of 6,400 vehicles crossed the bridge in 2021.

And to top it off, it's a small tight intersection. So watching big trucks try to back out of the entrance is almost like watching a pro sport.

We have several narrow and low bridges and over passes around here. They have been in existence for decades and it used to be a rare event when some idiot got stuck in one, now it seems to be a common occurrence. Then DOT seems to think the ATowns and cities should spend millions to raise them or lower the roads so all vehicles can get through. How about the idiots running these trucks lean to read and comprehend what low clearance means.

Here is a good way to enjoy snow. Now that is a snowblower.

Most of that model, are missing the hood or bonnet. I think they get wiped out from loader use. I'd love to have one.

The parking garage at Johns Hopkins has yellow low clearance signs right after you enter the garage. Now you tell me. One time I drove the Tundra. I remember thinking I had about 1 inch of clearance. I was a little nervous. On the way out I noticed they have a high clearance garage across the street.

We have been at the Johns Hopkins parking garage with the Sprinter and it just cleared under the 9 ft boom at the only one we could find close by.

LOL.

Yes, the McElderry Street Garage is the place to park. Stay on the first level. No issues. Nice wide turns, no antenna banging. The other garage which claims to have oversized, Orleans Street is difficult to drive into and around to get the few spaces that are available.

Good G-d, you expect the newer truck drivers to be able to read???
They are blindly following GPS.
In days past a certain Canadian trucking company would route their driver via Rand-McNally maps (designed for cars) via the shortest route. They quickly learned that their system didn't work. Any truck driver worth his salt has a paper map book somewhere in his truck.

There was a trucking company in the US that recently got in trouble as they were hiring foreign drivers that couldn't speak or read english, handing them a CDL license and sending them out on the road. And we are surprised things like this are happening more and more often.
