Several Trucks Get Stuck

Have your noticed that over the last few months a number of trucks have been getting stuck under local overpasses?

Having just hired movers a couple months ago, I have had occasion to speculate that more truckers are using GPS rather than relying on familiar routes. That doesn't work on the Main Line, unfortunately: they evidently get themselves into a jam.

How about structural damage to the road above and the cars and families that travel them. Road Signs need to make it clear that they mean it when they post the height allowance.

People who do this should get huge fines and a lose their driver's licence for at least six months, especially so called "professional" drivers with a CDL. How hard is it to see a bridge and realize your truck is taller than the clearance? Hell, if it looks to even be close, JUST DON'T DRIVE THROUGH! Why take the chance, especially in Phoenixville where we have TWO bridges, one of which (the high bridge) that has no clearance issues?
