Ditto. GOAL will keep you safe. If you question any clearance on any side of the truck, even just a little bit, set the brakes and get out. In fact, do it even if you're not really questioning how much room you have. Keep your eyes open, read all the signs you can, but don't let yourself get too nervous. If you get too nervous behind the wheel, you're more likely to make a little error that turns into a big mistake. Easier said than done, I know... but you got your second chance, now go out there and drive 8)
