PSA for every truck driver: Always know the size of your vehicle!
If the back of your trailer says 13 feet 6 inches and the bridge clearance says 11 feet 9 inches, you are not going to fit.
Before heading out:
✅ Know your tractor and trailer height
✅ Check all bridge-clearance signs
✅ Use a truck-specific GPS
✅ Plan your route before driving
✅ Never assume a bridge is tall enough
A regular GPS may send you toward low bridges, restricted roads, or areas your truck cannot safely enter. Route planning is part of professional truck driving!
