    Trucker Math problem! 13'6" - 4" = ?
    =13'2"

    I think you meant 13'6"-4'(feet)=9'6"

    He must have really been hammer down to get a 13'6" that far under 9'6" bridge. :shock: :shock:

    The fireman can almost reach up and touch the bottom of the bridge. You would even need a clearance sign to figure this out.

    No, you are wrong on that Useless. That is Spencerian on his first day with his first trainee.
    I'm willing to die to protect my Right to Bear Arms.

    Are you willing to die to take them away from me?

    Well, Karnajj!! I'm not going to call you wrong, but I AM trying to be nice to Spencerain!!

    To a minor degree, I can sympathize with him; A Little!!

    I do know what it is to transition from being the employer to being a bottom of the rung employee. I dealt with that when I decided to become a driver, and, believe it or not, I'm beginning to experience it again, as I am embarking upon a new career, although I will not have to hand the reigns of my companies over to someone else this time!!

    It can be a challenge. Yet, as I began my time on the road, I accepted the fact that while I do have areas where I am well practiced, driving a big truck was not one of them!!

    Bad things come in TWO! Its the TERRIBLE TWO!

    The 2 worst accidents that bridge & its community has seen in 20 or 40 years and it happened twice in rapid succession.

    Way. to. go.

    What moron drives under a 9'6" bridge? 13'4" or something I can maybe understand (sort of) but 9'6"?! That's only a foot and a half taller than the ceilings in the average house.

    I hope they tested this guy for drugs.

    hate to point it out but ONLY ONE all the pic's and the news article http://www.fosters.com/apps/pbcs.dll...RS01/106300399 are of the SAME truck and trailer just that the news pic was taken after the truck was moved... also the news article lied (realy) as you can see in FOZZY'S pic's the driver DIDN'T drive off not knowing he lost his trailer.....?
