I wondered where syncrosix was this week.

 

The article said that it is not a side-street. Unfortunately, it is far easier to turn a rig into a convertible than to avoid the problem. While it's normally a newer driver that will find himself in that situation, it is also possible for a seasoned driver to do that too., I've seen many trailers that had the tops dragging behind them. And, in far too many locations, the signs telling the driver about low clearances is much too obscure. I've seen a sign on a truck route that said the clearance ahead was only 12' 6"... Yes, on a truck route... But the sign was located BEHIND a thick, leafy bush, so that you could only read it when you were nearly even with it. How did I get to read it? I was stuck in traffic, then about four of us made a right turn before the overpass, went over a block, made a left and went over the top of the tracks, then another left back to the truck route. There, you could see an orange trailer hooked to an orange tractor, and the trailer had about six feet sticking out from the overpass before it got stuck. Yes, that WAS a truck route.

 

That's messed up driver.............but it made me laugh.

 

Well I have never been able to figure out how NY measures clearances. Been under more than one bridge marked 12' something. Seen a truck scrape a bridge marked 13'8" once too in that state (and the truck had 13'6" on the side for height). So go figure.

 

who? oh, you meant me, right? you've missed a few letters. i did have a collision earlier this week, though, but it was when i ran over bambi in south-west colorado.

i still have my job. i know many of you are just waiting to see some news article telling of a 20-something year old swift driver from scottsdale causing some massive carnage, or probably going off a road to avoid a tipped over school bus, and dying from it. it's all good though. i thrive on other people's disdain for me.

 

Sonix we need to try and get you entered in the pooping contest on Stern. I bet that you could take Joey Boots and High Pitch Eric any day of the week!:moon:

 

One of my favorite lines on City Slickers, was of Curly;
[Curly is approaching them from behind Mitch]
Mitch Robbins: Do us good? Didn't you guys see? The man was hanging the hired help!
And, did you notice his eyes? He has crazy eyes. He's a lunatic! We are going into the wilderness being led by a lunatic!
[Mitch notices everyone's terrified faces as Curly is standing directly behind him]
Mitch Robbins: He's behind me, isn't he?
Curly: I crap bigger than you!

---------------------
also...
Mitch Robbins: Hi Curly. Killed anyone today?
Curly: The day ain't over yet...
