I've always wondered if the rental company gives people in that area the oldest trucks when they don't pay for the insurance. lol

The 11 foot 8 bridge [Update: Now 12'4" and open again]
- Thread starter DrFunk

If it is really 40k to fix then I imagine the rental companies are in on it.
Nah, the bodies of those trucks are cheap as fuck. The real cost is when campers hit the bar and take off the AC unit and other stuff.
Damn that's a close shave though, the driver could have been lucky and just slide right under it because of tolerance.
I hope that we keep getting these videos for the rest of my life. I get joy every time this thread gets bumped.
God damn, I thought the days of clean peels like that were over once the bridge was raised. How wrong I was. The bridge claims yet another!
That was one of the best ones in a long time, wow. I love how the driver never even stopped. Just like, "yeah, this is fine"
It's definitely gotten less common ever since the bridge was raised 8 inches and they installed a ton of motion detectors and gigantic signs telling truck drivers to go around. But there's always going to be someone like today's driver...
I just noticed that the crosswalk starts it's countdown as soon as the turn sign is activated, trying to get the red light before the truck gets there.
Insta classic. The peel was smooth as silk along with some pedestrian reaction.
One of those pedestrians has made a few comments on this video now.
This bridge was a public enemy and a real terrorist a few years ago. I discovered the channel during quarantine, good times.
There are two accounts claiming to be both pedestrians in the comments now lol.
That one hurts to watch because it's a bit more rigid

Dammit too slow

So do they have to close and inspect the bridge after that? That seems like a lot of potential structural damage to the rails.
Seems like that dump truck and company should be getting some fines….
It's easy to forget with all the Ls taken by drivers that the bar is meant to protect the bridge as much as it is to stop them. Serious asshole move plowing on through like that, could have damaged the rails.
Dude is getting fired. Likely a few thousand dollar ticket, company will get hit with a bigger one, and more if they didn't call it in while filmed. I had many of delays on trains as inspection teams come out after a truck hit.
Yes, but look at the bridge itself. Something on it jumps up after the garbage truck hits the bridge after the yellow beam.
I don't think it's the rails, looks more like a pipe that's running along the side of the bridge, but for something on top to bounce like that is bad news.
