Truckin'

I did some running around this morning to my insurance agent and the body shop to put in a claim and get an estimate for repairs to my Tundra. The total for parts, pain and labor will run about $2500. I've got a $500 deductible. I'd rather the parking garage's insurance pay the whole thing of course, but if needed I'll bite the bullet and submit it to AllState and let them deal with the Canadian insurance company.

I know this made you kinda sick..it would have me as well as making me mad enough to fight!

But I have never trusted those signs..I have seen to many of them wrong..even on major highways where there are overpasses..sometimes the roads get resurfaced and that new 3" inches of road after four resurfaces adds up to a semi trailer knocking hell out of an overpass

Yeah. Back in Morristown, NJ there was a railroad overpass near the center of town that used to rip open a truck (usually a tractor trailer but sometimes a box truck) about every other month. There was a bit of a dip in the road where the trestle went over and the trucks would ease down into that dip but forget that the front wheels would be on their way up before the back wheels were on their way down. As a result the posted clearance was not the true clearance.
