You’re right, they won’t. Cuz no one’s gunna hire them
Redsoxdragon@reddit
Jokes on ~~us~~ you, he fobs drive for Amazon!
P3asantGamer@reddit
Na Amazon actually has standards, it's the DSPs that will hire anybody lol
EllieODaire@reddit
Y'all can pretend they aren't Amazon drivers as much as you want, but that program was created by Amazon, the incentives that push the 3rd party carriers to run sketchy trucks and hire idiots are all put in place by Amazon, and it's Amazon trailers that end up in the ditch because of it.
Chamber53@reddit
No? Western Express?
Honest-Ad7763@reddit
They will hire anyone
snarksneeze@reddit
That's when Daddy comes to the rescue. Driving for Daddy means I don't have to do drug tests or background checks or anything else.

Probably taking Lake Shore to McCormick place
Euphoric-Highlight-5@reddit (OP)
Except they're exiting at Irving Park.....
merv1985@reddit
good thing is the trailer can be recycled at the same company
ComparisonGeneral825@reddit
Maybe just read the sign might just help🤔🙋
DefiantTemperature41@reddit
I blame my parents. They're the ones who named me Low Bridge. Now, whenever I see that sign I take it as a special invitation, meant just for me.
Jaded_Customer_8058@reddit
Flip flops involved I’m sure 🩴
pingus3233@reddit
Probably feeling a false sense of confidence since the roof of the tractor seems alright. I'm wondering if there's a dip in the road that they just ended up bridging between the drives and tandems.
Still pretty stupid though, so at least nobody can take that away from them.
Matewoosh98@reddit
My guess the cab is shorter than the trailer. I had an exhaust pipe that was at 13" 6' but the cab itself is rather short, idk, 11"? I was driving with the bare chassis to pick up the container and saw a bridge with no markings, which basically means, don't do it lol. I said fuck it, I'm short, I'll fit there! Loud scraping from the exhaust pipe reminded me that I won't 🤣 Installed the one the size of my cab after that. Although I drive with a trailer now so I would never ever try to fit under any bridge that isn't at least 13" 6'

The single tick ' is shorthand for feet.
The double tick " is shorthand for inches.
You have to learn this stuff, mate. Like...frfr before you pilot an 80,000lb tractor trailer you have to drill those things into your head.

Matewoosh98@reddit
You're right, corrected. I know it is that way but I've been rather tired today 😅 I've been driving for a couple of years now so I'm good. Although, I still learn something new every day, the day I stop learning is the day I'll hang the keys up!
andLetsGoWalkin@reddit
Right on. I've had a day, myself.
Be safe out there brotha!
Matewoosh98@reddit
Thanks, you as well!
DarthVarbington@reddit
You can't park there...
LookyLou4@reddit
Chicago
Bad move
Weary-Writer758@reddit
Yes. I knew it looked familiar.
Euphoric-Highlight-5@reddit (OP)
U.S.41 to Il.19 what could go wrong? Lol
Weary-Writer758@reddit
Yup. Sounds about right. I wouldn't even take a straight job through that.
DellTheEngie@reddit
Semis aren't allowed on Lake Shore Drive either which is where he was headed. Double the goof from this guy.
Nema_K@reddit
I know this intersection, and from that angle he was getting off lake shore drive not getting on
12InchPickle@reddit
Even without reading the sign. You should use common sense and see that being too low.
DellTheEngie@reddit
He's also trying to get on a road that trucks aren't allowed on.
Euphoric-Highlight-5@reddit (OP)
He was on L.S.D. trying to get off...... No not that lsd. Well, maybe that too
alkamist1979@reddit
😂😂😂😂 Let’s see you change your DOT name after that one buddy…
Spiritual-Pen-1976@reddit
It's fun da mental
AutumnBrooks2021@reddit
I bet you they would. You can’t fix stupid, you can only laugh at them.
Difficult_Figure9052@reddit
hey, what is that one sign next to the traffic light? the yellow one w/ the numbers on it? i wonder what that means? - this driver, probably.
Euphoric-Highlight-5@reddit (OP)
12 meters? Idk lol
Matewoosh98@reddit
Funny is that I'm from Europe and can't tell how tall the bridge should be in meters 🤣
PnuttButtaGuts@reddit
They should just make “bananas” the global standard since it’s the official measurement of Reddit
Matewoosh98@reddit
Exactly! That would make it so much easier
eitsew@reddit
Oh, he might. I wouldn't be so sure
santanzchild@reddit
At least not with that name on the door.
Blegheggeghegty@reddit
Oh Chicago! I love living here but feel bad for the drivers trying to deliver anywhere near or in the loop.
Euphoric-Highlight-5@reddit (OP)
40 years ago when I started doing p&d in the loop first thing I bought was a viaduct and truck route map
Blegheggeghegty@reddit
Smart. You also probably did not find yourself in this position.
Euphoric-Highlight-5@reddit (OP)
I've made more than my share of fuck ups, but never topped a tr*ck
Blegheggeghegty@reddit
Yeah dude. I live over by the bridge on Cicero where that poor guys house is always getting hit by trucks backing up. They ignore every sign and destroy this poor dudes home. Fucked
Wernher_VonKerman@reddit
Smartest intertrashional driver
Rex_Uru@reddit
Yea they won't do it again, cause no one will hire them to give them the opportunity to do it again
jrshall@reddit
Well, just haul that puppy to American Recycling.
88_Cowboy@reddit
$100 says they are stupid enough to do it again…🤣
Euphoric-Highlight-5@reddit (OP)
Happy cake day! Probably not driving for the scrappers ....
xccoach4ever@reddit
Don't play limbo in an 18 wheeler.
Difficult_Figure9052@reddit
funny that it's a recycling company. just wanted to add some parts to the inventory.
