Truck and Trailer that almost made it

[thefamousDrFeelgood]

in my neigbour town a truckdriver had to follow the police, and he got stuck under a railway bridge :D

[chelsboy11]

almost made it but in the description it says tunnel is 11 ft but trailer is 14 ft dick

[1RJBUFF]

I'm a 61 year old, Chevy driving, desk jockey of a department manager, and I've seen a few funny episodes of both the 18 and 4 wheeler variety.  I say funny, because nobody was hurt - except, that is, the pride of the limo driver when he "bottomed out" on our executive turnaround!

[MrAlexzay]

Where is This?

[sirgreggins8824]

thatd take a crane to get it outta there

[likmahchoda]

This bridge should have a camera with a direct feed to youtube JUST for events like this

[viperxeon]

Almost? Close enough!

[Theigthacked]

He should have gone faster.

[magicmattkelly]

Let the air out of the tires! That'll get it!

Or... not.

[funnyjackiej0]

why was it flashing in side ?

[infringinator]

thats about 14 million in damages to the city haha

[BrianMr101]

how does this even happen dosnt the driver know how big the trailer is

[torontothegood]

not even close!

[djskyline701]

LMFAOOO.... I died laughing at the title

[hoppy123456798]

Derp.

[SkyPatronus112]

ALMOST?! There's this thing called a 3-foot difference.

[AkyrixProductions]

let the air out of the tyres and it will be freed from the bridge ;)

[Kapomafioso]

almost...almost!! :(

[MegaNici1994]

[Greno]

[kamakazi339]

[cislas89]

@kamakazi339 wow, its called "sarcasm" buddy... have you heard of it?

[punchion]

He must have been delivering the bridge somewhere and lost the address.........

[maciekmackowski]

So You hit the bridge??

No You idiot I was carrying it and run out of petrol.

[motorman145]

[rainbows4everxD]

[DairyProduct]

[Micahblanc]

[gigelisu]

[pe6obutilkata]

[78kfitz]

What do I do for a living officer? welI, i deliver bridges!

[StegoMan]

italians....

[Curt8153]

I know a guy that did that with a garbage truck. He was stoned as hell.

[bill739]

in new york city this is so common its silly. they have bridges that even a cube van that you can rent can have this happen . i was at a repair shop that had more then 300 trailers with the tops like this. the owner told me he got at least 2 a day everyday. also in that city they post the height of the bridge but then pave it and pave and pave again making the sign of clearance totally wrong.

[79Lucky79]

Most wiózł i mu się paliwo skończyło...

[fmxdude901]

The truck contained christmas lights?

[MFP1520]

almost my ass

[theYellowBooger]

IS THIS IN PENNSYLVANIA??? i think i drove past this in 08'!!!

[TheTVGuy45]

Damn it, that truck was one day away from retirement 

[tryithere]

Well, it's 11 foot now. Well most of it is. And it might be a little bit longer somewhere under there.

[TheBlackBetta]

Truck simulator bug^^ wall bug

[Traxxas1992]

Just back it up it'll be fine

[Trailerrigger]

Most dryvan trailers are about 13 ft 6 but he isnt very smart or efficient to attempt goin under something that is 2 and a half feet shorter that is when I was driving I chose to drive flatbed dump and grain not dryvan or reefer I did some tanker work to I enjoyed that as well but still to this driver why

[lejimi2]

Just keep full throttle and you ever go through !

[jayhawk184]

he shouldn't of let off, he was almost through

[tryithere]

@jayhawk184 I'm pretty sure he's through.

[111111aaron111111]

bridge delivery

[deputy1040]

UR FIRED !!!

[donandroz]

i had a similar incident a few year ago driving trucks,a bridge that i used to go under every day had the road surface relaid and as a result the road was 1\2 a foot higher than it was previously.so instead of 4.2 mtr clearance it was 4.05 end result for the day was one destroyed truck body.ps insurance paid out on the damage and the contractor for the road liable for all damages

[fjdsalkfjklsdjflskad]

this kind of video makes me LOL

[Duncanlance]

if it doesn't fit, force it!!!

[DJSpikesan]

Well ain't that a bitch.

[howtowritemyname]

almost... almost... almost... there we are!!

well done!

[SuperLoveless15]

ALMOST... keyword ALMOST.

[Patlicankizartma]

blöde lkw-fahrer, gibt doch mal gas, bald hast du geschaft. :)

[DOLRED]

His tires were overinflated.

[wall4xxx]

thats what happens went you follow your little GPS tellimg you make R-turn

[mandypandy1351]

Bahahaha!! Oh Noooo! Im stuck! - (Bruce from Family guy ;p)

[saganos1]

it almost crashes xD

[barcaboyy1992]

Try Harder.

[HotCarSpotter88]

Classic :D

[tld5500]

In the North East of the USA, there are still lots of low bridges. I hate NYC, because I everyone tells you to just go, even though the sign says no trucks. they might be laughing when you hit somehting

[ZX2ManDave]

Oh now come on-youve got to know that was not gonna fit.

[PLAZ1990s]

Oh yeah. "Almost made it" my ass.

[X0n3]

omg americans are very stupid :/

[DBCNinja]

He was trying to deliver that underpass but he ran outa gas

[cameltoejoe69]

Was it a woman driver?

[chauaramos]

nota : para la proxima llevar una cinta metrica

[Bajascud]

[barryjames46]

sorry boss, but i nearly made it

[marcosalvestomasini]

almost

[sledhill]

idiotics 101

[81driven]

Supposed to be one of the top things a truck driver is looking out for

[GeneralCadoc]

Sounded like the beginning to "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger."

lol.

[pojogermany]

I love the word "almost" in the title of this clip

[hopfenkaltschale]

so what..

still the lights are on!

[jaycee1st]

"Hows my driving?"

[sandrosp90]

CADE O RESTO? SE E PARA POSTAR SO ISTO ERA MELHOR NEM TER POSTADO!

[76709599]

well i drive for a living and all low bridges are susposed to be marked

[turkish3434]

probably happens in Illinois or newyork because there are so many underpasses wiyh old or wrong clearence signs with them go to bqe you will s all the signs says 12`6 ans 12`2 but you can pass with 13`6 truck without problem so i think driver tought it was a old signed which was not updated but here is the kicker he is %100 fired after that if he is not student driver and he cant be working as a truck driver for long time unfurcunetly

[JohnnyBlade68]

standard dry van minimum clearance is 13'6.. first thing I notice here is how far under he got.. given the width of the road I would say he was going too fast.. in the US every overpass/tunnel is supposed to be marked, however its a drivers responsibility to notice if it is or isn't.. if this guy was driving one of my trucks he would be looking for another job.

[theschneidersamurai]

I drove the big trucks and I learned to eyeball the heights pretty well. Unfortunately, this driver never thought about that and turned the overpass into a giant horizontal can opener. I believe that most likely he was fired for making such a simple mistake. If he made this mistake, he would most likely make the same mistake again!

[joeu5431]

Oh Bugger...I seem to have hit something.

[Romans909]

Ya being a trucker is hard enough, then you come across a bridge with no clear sign to tell you how tall the entrance is and get stuck.

[StefanKahler]

not like a boss

[killallianceftw]

I wouldn't call that almost...

[umbrellagaribim]

malmısın körmüsün gürmüyormusun anca küçük arabalar geçer

[fatgirlfister]

I'll bet the driver couldn't speak or read english.

[superdonkeyballs]

Imagine how fast he was going to make it that far?

[Sorayan13]

@superdonkeyballs It probebably wasn't that fast at all... if the truck is loaded the load will just push it that far...

and it's not that strong anyway, just some aluminium

[18zach86]

wow u would think since dude does this for a living he would know how tall his truck is

[roshanlove1980]

This driver was a mini cooper driver before.. sure.

[hepimizbiriz123]

mistake

[hepimizbiriz123]

sory , sory , sory...

[hepimizbiriz123]

ooooooooooo very gooddddddddd....

[TURBODIESELWAGON]

POSTED SIGN READS 12'3''.

DRIVER DOESEN'T READ.

[301chaos]

think he was a noob poor boy. lol

[1rockcut]

I jambed one under the overhead in downtown Charlottesville VA. Right by the university. We had everybody there, cops, wrecker, tire service, on a Sunday morning.

The cop says...well didn't you hear the siren, I said no.....She says...Oh, I guess it isn't working. itsMALS is right, give the insurance a work out. And OH yea...I didn't loose my job...I own the rig

[MrJackknob]

there will b an investigation into that accident.. I know from experience tho, driving in the Chicago area the underpasses aren't true to what the posted height actually is, the sign may say 13 ft but it might b 11.5 or 12, clearly not enuff space to clear a rig. If it's not posted or the driver is not sure, don't even try it. It can happen to the most seasoned driver as well.. I know my day will come as well. Lets just hope I get it on cam when I do.. Cheers!

[logicalthinker78]

You're Fired!

[nalgaproductions]

yea! almost!



[sunnysra1]

Aww the twinkies in the truck got squished :(

[Jemalacane]

The truck driver didn't get the truck stuck. The driver was simply delivering a bridge and ran out of fuel.

[sacalu14]

@itsMALS yep , that's right , as i know at every underoass should be something to show

in my country are some , but i have to admit not every underpass . it isn't drivers fault

[superdonkeyballs]

@itsMALS Nope. He'd be on probation. But if he were to try to get another job somewhere it would be tough. If he wasn't devoted to that company, he is now.

[jackbelias]

@itsMALS

Ill bet he was blamed and fired. Unfortunately our highways and city streets are only set up for cars that can fit under 6 foot overpasses. I had a close call with a 13'7 overpass in Detroit. It had been measured in the middle (left lane) and sloped down toward the right. I couldnt get over to the left lane due to Detroit rush hour traffic and missed scraping the bridge by millimeters because I managed to split the lane at the last minute.

[wavking]

@itsMALS I HAVE driven 20 years, encountered countless low underpasses and ALWAYS had a chance to avoid them. The difference between 13'6" and 11 is quite obvious. It's not like the overpass isn't marked and he missed it by 2 inches. And yes, most companies will fire you on the spot for hitting a bridge. That is NOT what insurance is for. The insurance company will often insist that the driver be removed from the policy or the rates will go up.

[YaBoyBaby916]

@wavking you sir are correct, not only is every underpass marked with the clearance but on top of that when you go to get your license and take teh driving test u will go under a bridge then when u get thorough it the instructor asks you the clearance one of 10 drivers gets it how common lol..... you always have to pay attention to clearance one of the main things

[callyboygid]

oh. I wonder if his job will be on the line?? ha ha ha!!!

[JonTheChron]

@callyboygid doubt it.. would you get fired from mcdonalds for putting the beef in a chicken burger?

[mohiahmed1]

Im Sorry Trailer, but the doctor has informed me that you.....well you busted her ovaries

[mushy64]

you mean 13'6" on trailer!

[latisha1505]

PS...he shouldve routed himself in a less half-assed manner.

[latisha1505]

How many of you have ever tried to back-up a semi? ....i can see why he did it.

[roodypoot]

This supports my argument that being able to vote should require some hurdles so that people like the one who did this won't influence the results of elections. how friggin' dumb can a person be? I need a drink.

[MrScania1984]

Das sieht mann doch eindeutig, das die Brücke zu klein ist.

[killer2600]

Yup almost made that one, only a few feet short, or tall however you view it.

[panamax1999]

dude.

[AbramTan90]

there was a fat man up the underpass it was 30 foot.

[MefjuOMG123]

"you get your truck stuck?" "no officer. i was delivering that bridge when my truck broke down."

[ccoraxfan]

He should have gotten up a bit more speed, he could have made it.

[LilD3x1]

how low can u go? not that low.

An experienced driver would know if the bridge was too low. GET OUT AND LOOK. Oy.

[201183Martin]

It said 12 feet not 14 feet carl

[TheGecefeneri]

this is fake because truck carriages don't bend like that

[fekku90]

@TheGecefeneri and you know cause you tried that yourself?

[xxxxcocotazoxxxx]

Fake

[john6218att]

well, he must of thought it was a mouse, if the nose fits the rest of the body will follow

[somesortanaughty]

dude must have been drunk...

[Henckles]

WTF does being polish have to do with this? I've heard must have been a chinaman or a packie but polish never

[bluemotion1905]

add V-gel please

[DinoDoesStuff]

Probably a Polish driver!

[ian9564]

@DinoDoesStuff Your a bit racist arnt you, yeah sure they may arrogant at times... But they get the job done

[DinoDoesStuff]

@ian9564 No not racist at all - it is common knowledge that Polish drivers do not adhere to tachograph rules or working time directive. My comment comes from the fact that through VOSA and police checks it is also common knowledge that Polish drivers are paid by the kilometer and not the hour - this is why they are regularly found to have been driving in excess of thirty hours at a time, which gets the job done until they drive over a car containing a family of five!

[brizzurker1984]

You would think that approaching a bridge looking at the skirting of said bridge at eye level one would stop.

[gavincurtis]

Couldn't help but notice that trailer has a couple of burned out clearance lights....  Somebody better fix them or they might get a ticket.

[bitcheslovemyswag]

FAIL

[ivankrieger]

loser



[MrDelo5]

STUPID

[MatGuich]

i wonder that he was so far under the bridge and the trailer didn't stop earlier :D

[Michael7477]

If the underpass was 11 feet and the trailer was 14 feet that means he should have 3 feet to spare. This video is fake.

[Thefoxbat100]

the title should have been didnt make it !!!!!!

Change it lens to this blind man ...

[Cccuba]

I am reminded of 'The Actress Said To The Bishop' jokes, here.

[RalphCQ]

what happens to the driver, do they get fired and/or charged a fee for damages to the truck?

[dlocal1]

@RalphCQ  They go back to flipping burgers.

[Bw321a]

[teramasz]

agency drivers....

[lilmisschelsey]

if only he went a little faster

[enticed2zeitgeist]

Man... I bet that made a lot of noise. I hope he wasn't going really fast when he entered the underpass.

[Wither009]

@enticed2zeitgeist obviously he was going fast look how deep he's in there..ITS FUCKING DEEP!!!
