(146,329 posts)Unless you paid for the insurance waiver, you're stuck with the damages. Most rental places don't bother to tell you how high the truck is, either. And then, people forget what they're driving. Bank drive-through lanes get slammed all the time by people in rental trucks. Warning signs don't work. People just forget how high the vehicle is that they're driving.
That 11' 8" railroad bridge needs to be replaced, or the road lowered to provide a clear 12'. That will take care of most trucks, but will still catch the air conditioners on some big motor homes.
They also need to move the headache bar back from the crossing, far enough to provide a real warning in time to allow the driver to stop.
