@ big david I used to drive truck here in town about 25 yrs ago. This bridge and many others(I think there all rail bridges) are scattered all through S A ya find out real quick where they are or this is what happens.

Just take the air out of the tires, and drag it out.

YOOO !! driver the bridge sign says 12'3" you may want to check your truck height BEFORE you leave the depot. Dollars to donuts this guy is a new grad from one of the truck driver schools around the area.

Judging from the photograph, the DMV needs to have this driver get a DL-63 completed if he wants to keep driving truck. Also the city and Union Pacific need to get their acts together to lower the road about a foot to give these trucks the clearance mandated by law.

Wonder if this was the same driver that was driving that bus at the airport that got stuck under a bridge? Lots of people were hurt there.
