I am not threatening to get you fired. It was simply a statement about a safety issue.

Yes, you are right that I should have looked into it more before commenting. That evening I had been in a heated discussion about wreckless driving and truckers who just don't give a damn about anyone or their safety. When I saw the vid I reacted before thinking and I apologize.

@MickeyGtheTrucker -- good to meet you, I got some nice videos of the Rockys and Wyoming coming back from Yellowstone, I dont drive OTR anymore and miss the beauty of traveling but dont miss livin in the truck. Look forward to you putting up some videos I saw that you said some were coming in the future, I will check them out

[MickeyGtheTrucker]

oh, does your company know you do this? most companies I know of would fire you on the spot.

@MickeyGtheTrucker -- read the other comments and learn before you talk shit-- I made a backup plan, AND leaving Brooklyn ALL the bridges are marked WRONG-- ALL SAY 12'3" so you HAVE TO GO UNDER ONE TO LEAVE, you would still be in Brooklyn and fired for not getting your load where it belongs. get me fired , maybe they can hire you, how many miles did you drive this week? I am betting under 2,000. read and find out WHY there marked as they are and learn and QUIT lecturing me, LEARN

And it is drivers like you sir that are screwing things up for the industry. You make the rest of us look bad with your wreckless behavior! Yet truckers wonder why thay have no respect from the public or the DOT! Let's see you go under a 12' 3" in the mid west. I garauntee you will no longer have your liscense!

[pizzasteve1262]

@MickeyGtheTrucker -- I live in the midwest (Wisconsin) and there are plenty of fools like you talkin shit-- my advice STAY in the midwest because you could not drive in NY, you my freind think you know what your talkin bout but only bullshit comes out. If you knew what you were talkin about you would not have opened your mouth

It was a glitch. The top of his truck just went thru the cieling like in GTA SA. If you had been on the road above the bridge you would have seen the top of the truck sticking out of the ground as it moved thru the tunnel.

L2 Video game physics.

[MickeyGtheTrucker]

Yep. Just goes to show with your wwf smack down talk that you are an over confident driver that thinks he is invincible. You go right ahead and keep doin what your doin super trucker.

Hey all the credit in the world to him he got under the bridge and didnt get stuck, Most of the dumbasses out there would have bounced the trailer and got stuck, It takes skill and patience to do that, In CDL School Now and they tell us NEVER GO UNDER A BRIDGE LOWER THAN 13'6 but I know one of theese Retards will do it and Guess what Theyll get stuck, THEN THEIR CDL will Be revoked.

[yellowmusicfreak]

Unbelievable, I would have NEVER attempted that...every OTR trailer I know is around 13'6, why there are still outdated ancient bridges that a bus can barely fit under is beyond me.

[Michiganborn1969]

I think the scarest part of this is if you would have hit a hump right in the middle of that tunnel & get wedged right in the middle. That would have sucked.

Welcome to New York, where bridge clearance signs are never accurate.

[coolhandcanada]

In the state of NY they measure bridge heights not from the bottom but at truck axel height, so you add about a foot minimum to every bridge height sign in the entire state of NY.

[xDONTxTREADxONxMEx]

You must be in the great state of NY.

yea its really scary in my opinion to drive a truck though bqe.... whats more scarier is 2 trucks driving parallel in the holland tunnel when it was open for commercial traffic.

[Carlos7Matute]

yea its really scary in my opinion to drive a truck though bqe....

[seaniesean5]

all bridges in NY are marked one foot lower than what they actually are.........

[AndrewJ254]

i kept waiting for the clearance to drop at the far end of the tunnel/bridge,lol.

glad you made it thru.
