@@ab-mr6qv Fair. We just can't blame the drivers only since it's painfully evident that it's a deeper problem that won't go away on it's own. They even built a beam to prevent structural damage which just goes to prove it hasn't gone unnoticed. And yet, no change. Still funny, though

@@felwarksmith6239 wow. We have a bridge on Route 579 in Ringoes, NJ that get hit all the time by trucks. It is also a RR bridge. There are huge steel crash barriers on it to protect it since the original bridge eventually sustained so much damage that it had to be replaced. At least this one the trucks are not going that fast.
And at that scale, bending is normal. Even when the bridge is hit, you can see the concrete bending. But the bar just stays where it is. While a know hardness and tensile strength are different, it almost feels like that bar could hold the entire bridge no problem.
@@justsomeguy5628The only thing I don't understand is why they didn't lower the bridge instead of raising it. Making it more obvious is the best protection!
@@GlobalFlyerthat’s because they didn’t raise it to prevent crashes. they raised it so that it would match the height of another trestle nearby so that trains wouldn’t have to slow down when moving through
The funniest thing about the bridge is they raised it eight inches, put a detection system to turn the light red when there's an overhead truck coming through, the red light is a minute long and there's a flashing sign that warns them about the bridge, yet they still crash
Except for the last one, which was appeared to be a refrigerated unit and therefore had someone TRAINED driving it, these all appeared to be rentals, except maybe the moving vans. I think people are skimming through with their trucks weighted down and then coming back empty thinking they can just barrel on down the road no problems. Except the truck is taller now.
@@Ih8kone You don't need experience. You need basic common sense and patience. Do not drive under a bridge unless you're 100 percent sure that your vehicle will fit.

@@joedellinger9437 yeah I would imagine the best way to grab attention is not a little sign next to a traffic light because the drivers' attention is on the traffic light. Maybe have the traffic light have Green-Yellow-Red flash rapidly or something.

@DerpHavenn, after they backed up, they had a straight shot to safety, but alas, they had to make the fated right turn 😔 what a tragedy. But the bridge must be fed
Based on the signs it looks like that left turn was the wrong way on a one-way road. So that guy had only one legal option from where he started - to go straight. He solved this problem by first going left the wrong way on a one-way road, then backing up and turning right so he hit the bridge. Honestly next level driving.

I wonder if most of these crashes originate with the drivers using GPS-type road navigation software on their cell-phones? Nav-Software says: From A to B, go via 11'8". Yes master: I obey.
They were waiting and the truck stood there for 80 solid seconds without the intent of going backwards... They were not gonna wait for them to move the whole day
As an experienced truck driver, all I can say is from the moment I began training many years ago, there was one thing that was drilled into my head, 13'6, 13'6, 13'6, 13'6. AndI was taught THAT YOU NEVER GO UNDER A BRIDGE WITHOUT CHECKING THE HEIGHT. NEVER. NEVER. NEVER. You should be saying it in your sleep.
@@jethrogump9016 There is a sign above every bridge in the united states that says the maximum height a vehicle can be to fit. That’s literally what this channel has as its name, and the logo is the sign lmao.
Understandably they are mostly ignorant part time rental drivers who have never had this danger before. Worse yet the insurance often does not cover overhead collisions.
@@paulfeist even if no one knows where it came from, it is still the most quotable quote in human history. Need to be living under a rock to not get it. I'm just as surprised as you are there are some that don't get it.
Nearly all of these crashes were rentals, so probably people who didn't really know how to drive a truck and thought it was similar to a car. They learnt pretty quickly
The bridge it's self is designed to take massive weight vertically not take lateral hit. They put that beam out in front of the actual bridge to stop the bridge getting hit. Amazing how strong that beam is though. Literally hundreds of hits and hasn't budged. Yes they set up a new system that trips red light and turns on "over height must turn" sign on the traffic light. Yet they blow through the red light and the warning and destroy trucks anyway. Just goes to show you can't fix stupid. It's too often rentals because they are rented by people who don't have CDL and don't know to pay attention to bridge heights.
That coverage saved me almost $1000 when a deer 🦌 ran into the Uhaul. It T-Boned me. Yes, the deer ran straight into the side of the truck lol I was one block away from returning it...
well rental truck companies in the area warn them about this bridge... even if they took the insurance it wouldn't cover the damage this bridge causes. You would need to actually replace the entire box of the truck in most of these cases. That is gonna cost them $5000-$25000+
The road has a HEIGHT sensor it turns RED before they even reach the light to let them know to TURN around, so the issue is actually that they’re ignoring it 🤷🏻♀️
They already had to replace it once lmao like how much damage does a solid steel beam have to take from aluminum box trucks before needing to be replaced??
Hohohehe! Or, I was just driving down the highway doing the speed limit and the roof blew off by itself in the wind! You people need better quality trucks. Hmmph.
He's the only one who also didn't mess up his vehicle. I drove a semi for 5 years. Most people think it's no different than a car. But I learned quick to stop using my cell phone GPS. Use the truck GPS and it will avoid low bridges on the route. Most truck drivers are visiting areas they are unfamiliar with. It's not like you driving in the same city you grew up in for 20 years. Probably a shit marked one way street. Also you might have fit under that bridge if you were weighted down but with the truck empty it scrapes the top. I feel like if you can make a compilation of crashes at one specific location the issue isn't the drivers it's the location.
@sour airhead However you can see that he tapped bridges before that too. So I guess he needs to learn to trust his first instincts more instead of trying it anyway
Model Trains & Planes Channel Steam Trains too They have a You Tube channel...it’s the guy who films from the right side of the bridge I think...11 foot8 is the name
that sign is sensor based. it is not on all the time. In fact, it only comes on when the vehicle that is approaching the bridge is over the height. That sign turned on to tell the driver they are too tall to go under the bridge. If you look closely, that truck was ALSO running a red light in the process. The sign isn't the problem. @@VaderViktor
@@VaderViktorIt used to be 11'8" but it was raised a few years ago so that the trains don't have to slow down as much it's the opposite of what you're describing

There was so much wrong with it. First he goes the right way, as in, AWAY from the bridge, then someone blatantly runs a red light in the middle of other cars going, then this fool BACKS UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, backs into the WRONG SIDE of the road, just to go the one way he physically cannot. What a nightmare of stupidity
Troy yeah, because that won’t cost several million dollars of taxpayer money. What would be cool is if drivers actually paid TF attention to the dozen-or-so signs leading up to the bridge.
Troy what do you mean not aware of the cautions driving trucks? You don't have to be a fucking rocket scientist to know how high your truck is and in the case of the rentals the max height is likely clearly signed on the dash. the cameras are put there by a private citizen, you can see their website/TH-cam channel linked.

@@Nathanatos22 it’s cuz the light turns red when it detects a overheight truck

But the bridge can.
Thats called a trump supporter
As an experienced truck driver, all I can say is from the moment I began training many years ago, there was one thing that was drilled into my head, 13'6, 13'6, 13'6, 13'6. AndI was taught THAT YOU NEVER GO UNDER A BRIDGE WITHOUT CHECKING THE HEIGHT. NEVER. NEVER. NEVER. You should be saying it in your sleep.
Yeah, but then where would we get these great videos??
@@onewayturtles Go Cougs and Dawgs
I imagine rental trucks don't have a lot of experienced drivers.
@@jethrogump9016 they usually have traffic signs if the height is too low for trucks.....
@@jethrogump9016 There is a sign above every bridge in the united states that says the maximum height a vehicle can be to fit. That’s literally what this channel has as its name, and the logo is the sign lmao.

The "reverse of shame" is so entertaining, proceeded only by the perfect peel.
Rental Clerk: So have you driven a truck this size before?
Customer: Oh yes. Piece of cake!
That's why inssurance is mandatory heh.
Piece of cake - later piece of scrap. lol
Those buses are at the **chef’s kiss** perfect height. The drivers must feel real BA to scoot right under the bridge.
Right? I was waiting for something to happen to that one!
That one triggered something deep inside of me. The relief went it went under with no trouble. Phew
There’s one where one of the buses goes under rightttt before a crash and it’s so satisfying
It’s almost like the height of a bus is such that it will fit underneath most bridges so that the bus can run an efficient route...
BAMCIS13450703 yes of course the small town in north Carolina had em all done up custom. /s
Ahhhh the dreaded reverse of shame after the crash, never gets old.

YESSS !!!!! Like there is not even a fraction of doubt in their mind they will be fine..
Yeah like they are playing GTA V
Understandably they are mostly ignorant part time rental drivers who have never had this danger before. Worse yet the insurance often does not cover overhead collisions.

I'mma get out before someone's say it was me
He knew traffic would be effed-up for hours.
What amazes me is the fact that the yellow bar doesn't move not even an inch off its position, taking the hits as a superhero!
Everyone sings the praises of the bridge, but it's the bar that really does the heavy lifting. Unsung hero.
I admire the structural integrity of that battering beam !
sam iam it's a railroad bridge, it's designed to be strong. It needs to be able to support 100+ Ton freight cars rolling across it
Tanker 10001 Yes but these trucks hits a safety beam well ahead of the bridge so that it does not get damaged at all.
Saves them from re-inspecting the bridge every week.
The bridge it's self is designed to take massive weight vertically not take lateral hit. They put that beam out in front of the actual bridge to stop the bridge getting hit. Amazing how strong that beam is though. Literally hundreds of hits and hasn't budged.
Yes they set up a new system that trips red light and turns on "over height must turn" sign on the traffic light. Yet they blow through the red light and the warning and destroy trucks anyway. Just goes to show you can't fix stupid.
It's too often rentals because they are rented by people who don't have CDL and don't know to pay attention to bridge heights.
sam iam I was thinking the same thing..... especially at the rate and speed it gets hit!
When they get themselves unstuck and drive away it's like the walk of shame.
😂
When in reality, they're heroes. I love when the people cheer after a good one. :)
All the other cars silently judging🤣
I call it the beep of shame.
The puddle in the driver's seat has a lasting memory too.
Enterprise: would you like insurance coverage for only 12 dollars a day.
Truck driver: naw I'm good.
They don't cover the tops, and neither does U-Haul.
Lol.. I rented a truck . Skipped the coverage. If I saw the bridge.. I ain't risking it
That coverage saved me almost $1000 when a deer 🦌 ran into the Uhaul.
It T-Boned me. Yes, the deer ran straight into the side of the truck lol
I was one block away from returning it...
@@zoomer2965 True, know your height!
well rental truck companies in the area warn them about this bridge... even if they took the insurance it wouldn't cover the damage this bridge causes. You would need to actually replace the entire box of the truck in most of these cases. That is gonna cost them $5000-$25000+
Doesn't hype it up or anything, just straight up posts all of it in one clip for your enjoyment. This is the old TH-cam stuff I miss.
The fact that the lights are RED and they still breeze threw the intersection is mind boggling
How else are they expected to clear 14 feet under 11'8? Gotta have that momentum.
The road has a HEIGHT sensor it turns RED before they even reach the light to let them know to TURN around, so the issue is actually that they’re ignoring it 🤷🏻♀️
@@georgiasarahjones24 I think it’s hilarious they end up intensifying the crash because of it
Well first it senses the height of the truck and turns red. Second, It would not be fun to try to stop a 15-40 ton truck in 2 seconds

4:15 This dude reverses and holds up traffic just to get stuck and humiliate himself. You can't make this shit up.
He had to reverse because he turned the wrong way onto a one-way street.
Literal npc
He's the only one who also didn't mess up his vehicle. I drove a semi for 5 years. Most people think it's no different than a car. But I learned quick to stop using my cell phone GPS. Use the truck GPS and it will avoid low bridges on the route. Most truck drivers are visiting areas they are unfamiliar with. It's not like you driving in the same city you grew up in for 20 years. Probably a shit marked one way street. Also you might have fit under that bridge if you were weighted down but with the truck empty it scrapes the top. I feel like if you can make a compilation of crashes at one specific location the issue isn't the drivers it's the location.
The guy that turned the wrong way and then hit the bridge was probably having the worst day.

3:07 “overheight must turn”
Driver: Nah I’m good
Isn't the problem that the sign says 12-4, but the road later raised and made it 11-8? They wouldn't know unless they are local
that sign is sensor based. it is not on all the time. In fact, it only comes on when the vehicle that is approaching the bridge is over the height.
That sign turned on to tell the driver they are too tall to go under the bridge. If you look closely, that truck was ALSO running a red light in the process.
The sign isn't the problem. @@VaderViktor
@@VaderViktorIt used to be 11'8" but it was raised a few years ago so that the trains don't have to slow down as much

True but at least he didn't do a can opener like the rest ....
To number 9, 4, and 3: Not only did you not read any of the signs warning you about the limited height, YOU RAN A RED LIGHT TOO!

Vincent but that was an innocent truck
There was so much wrong with it. First he goes the right way, as in, AWAY from the bridge, then someone blatantly runs a red light in the middle of other cars going, then this fool BACKS UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, backs into the WRONG SIDE of the road, just to go the one way he physically cannot.

Troy yeah, because that won’t cost several million dollars of taxpayer money. What would be cool is if drivers actually paid TF attention to the dozen-or-so signs leading up to the bridge.
Troy what do you mean not aware of the cautions driving trucks? You don't have to be a fucking rocket scientist to know how high your truck is and in the case of the rentals the max height is likely clearly signed on the dash. the cameras are put there by a private citizen, you can see their website/TH-cam channel linked.
