It's a fairly high overpass now - the state redid it and that intersection several years ago.Jeffrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06873138122305060834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7961111.post-30804434276058563162012-11-09T22:16:21.463-06:002012-11-09T22:16:21.463-06:00The underpass at Bucklin was one that was NOT as m...The underpass at Bucklin was one that was NOT as marked. I had one trailer that was 2" deeper and 2" taller, 13'8". The clearence was marked 14'2" but my trailer would rub. When they overlayed the raod a time or two they didn't change the clearence.Road Pignoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7961111.post-77274448120856843992012-11-09T20:12:22.396-06:002012-11-09T20:12:22.396-06:00Yeah, I think a lot of those bobtails were driven ...Yeah, I think a lot of those bobtails were driven by someone who has never had to worry about clearance, ever.<br /><br />As for pilot cars, it depends on the dimensions of the load and the state. Anything over 12' in OK and NE has to have one. KS and TX are 14', for instance. All different.Jeffrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06873138122305060834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7961111.post-21296871680131422592012-11-09T20:06:31.948-06:002012-11-09T20:06:31.948-06:00Okay, that was amusing.
