Default Knowing the height of your vehicle is important

Hi All

Knowing just how tall our vehicles are is an important bit of information, be it being hauled or driving down the road, as is the weight. Over the years I've had to stop while driving in club convoys when the lead vehicle reach a bridge with 10 foot clearance or 3 ton weight limit, yup my C60S radio truck is 10'6" tall and 10,000 lbs. Only once did I have back up in traffic.

I'd say that this is something us "amateur" truck drivers have to watch out for but it we seems that the professionals manage to tear the tops of trucks with some regularity.

Cheers Phil
