One word to the wise,if the city/town has a "truck route" going around it,that's your best bet to miss low bridges.I do know in PA some bridges are marked from the side height,like 10'6",but if you use the middle of the road you can get a 13'6" trailer through them.Used to get strange looks when I went the short way to a customer on the other side when I drove semis.

Gosh, with everything to think of, I would have never thought of this question until we hit the first bridge. I know Patrick would think of this, but I like to be up on everything too. Thanks for asking the question Anitajeff, and thank you to everyone who responded with suggestions. I've bookmarked the links.

Don't forget that we are also fuel station challenged as well. I got really lucky with mine on our first trip as the canopy looked good going in and I stopped with about a foot to go by chance. During fueling I looked up and discovered the a/c would have taken out the lights on the canopy. Thank god I was able to back out and get around the outside. Planning is huge on a trip. I never realized that were as high as most semi's if you look at the Garmin 465 for truckers software it has a 13'6" height limit as max for alerts.
