One of Eddie’s lads who (i’ll be kind) found out the height of the trailer the hard way this afternoon, Thornes Lane, Wakefield. Railway Bridge 1, trailer 0.
I’ve never had the misfortune to do it but I wonder what they say to the traffic office when they ring in. 
“Are the cream cakes OK”
Possibly, “I`ve just hit a bridge.”

Nah seen one you’ve seen them all, by the look of it it wasn’t too bad, he must have realised at the last minute and tried to stop.
No good me talking, MANY years ago I came up to a low bridge, realised it wouldn’t go under, stopped, checked the mirrors (nothing in sight) and reversed, onto the top of a Mini. The young lady driver had pulled right in close behind and I didn’t see the car, she was uninjured (a bit shocked) the Mini needed at least a new bonnet.
“If you can’t see my mirrors I can’t see you”…very true.
All these bridges that Eddies boys are failing to get under reminds me of the joke where a driver gets his trailer jambed under a bridge,the police attend,and driver asks where do the police want the bridge delivering to■■?

i had one driver tell me that he didn’t see the bridge until the truck he was following pulled over to the right to go under the arch.
did have a daf demonstrator driver go out of the yard and he was so busy extolling the virtues of the 95 that he didn’t notice the 13’6 bridge he tried to put the 15’ trailer through.
"boss the unit went under then the bridge just lowered itself on top the trailer " 
Been pulling a 15’ 9" all last week & forgot to reset the sat nav for a 14 footer this week
Ah well ! done a few extra miles today avoiding 15’ 6" bridges
At least it wasn’t the other way round 
If you are going to hit it hit it hard.
