Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Common Interests Watch that clearance all you truckers

Walking through the parking lot outside the courthouse this morning I hear a loud BOOM come from over by the 12'3" clearance railroad underpass. 60 seconds later comes along a tractor pulling a trailer that looks like a banana with the middle of the trailer a good foot below the ends. As it is slowly driving along the passenger side wall of the trailer starts to completely peel away from the roof! Oh how I wish I had my camera with me. Of course a Sheriff just happened to be pulling out of the lot in front of me and immediately pulls the driver over - good thing, as that trailer was going to drop to pieces if it went any further.

I saw an 18 wheeler get lodged under the L in Chicago.

I've had two trucks knock the headache bars off places that I've worked. One completely blocked the garage for several hours, pissing several people off who needed to get out!

There's an aging bridge here for a railroad that is rarely used anymore annd the same thing happenned to another trailer; the big problem was that the road dipped a lot lower than most do and ontop of that there were heavy rains; the trailer was stuck and flooded because the water pooled around it

Happenned like ten years ago here.
