Know the dimensions

Record the actual vehicle and load height and consider changes created by equipment, suspension or cargo.

Use the right tools

Consumer navigation is not a substitute for commercial routing, official restrictions and direct observation of signs.

Driver takeaway

If clearance is uncertain, stop in a safe position and verify; never continue because another truck appears to have passed.
