    OK, here's a true story, one that happened about maybe 1991:

    Me and another driver for JB Hunt were dispatched to a dog food warehouse in Buffalo. This other driver was from Texas, and about 2 months out of driving school. It was also his first time anyplace east of Ohio.

    We both load our 48' trailer with about 46,000 lbs of dog food. Knowing firsthand how difficult Buffalo driving can be, I keep my tandems way forward, and decide to worry about fighting with them only when I get onto the thruway. Mr. Texas, however, decides to slide his tandems all the way back before leaving the yard. I know the way out, so Mr. Texas follows me.

    Well, the left turn onto Genesee st. was quite a sight to see in my mirrors. I manage to make the 120-degree turn without too much drama, choosing the right line and hooking a bit in the intersection, but Mr. Texas decided to play the old "I'm bigger, so deal with it" routine, forcing 3 or 4 cars to back up in order to let him through. I think he actually blocked the intersection for a full cycle, too.

    So, now that we're both heading east on Genesee st, we come to the first RR overpass, marked 12'7". I know that it's about 13'7" (as long as you avoid the corner gussets, that is), and tell him to follow me slowly under the overpass. I do it the proper way-4-ways on, slow approach, looking up to see if it clears, as i slowly creep under. I clear, and Mr. Texas does the same.

    About 1/2 mile ahead, we come to the second 12'7" overpass, and I do the same. The only difference between the 2 overpasses is the uphill just past the overpass. I creep though slowly, watching my trailer the whole way, without incident. Now comes Mr. Texas. He sees that I have cleared, so he decides to go through at nearly full speed. He's fine, until the last few feet-when he first hits the uphill. Since his tandems are kissing the ICC bumper, he doesn't clear the overpass, and actually slices the last 8 feet of the roof open, where one of the rivets on the overpass had burrowed into the aluminum of the trailer.

    Last I saw of Mr. Texas, he was attempting to climb onto the roof of his trailer with a bid tube of silicone sealant in his shirt pocket....

    The brother is doing OK He misses the road however, he knows that is all over for him as far as driving he had to give up his CDL... Other than that he is just as ornery as ever....
