trucks have been crashing there since the 1960s so i don't think the bridge is ever gonna give out. they can't fix it because raising the bridge would require modifying miles of railway and they can't lower it because it's directly over a sewer main.

I heard that Penske is renting the trucks to drivers are all warned to not go anywhere near this bridge because insurance won’t cover damage done by it so all the repairs are on the drivers

[@thepezfeo]

Either the town or the railway built a sturdy steel support beam to protect the bridge, so the trucks aren't actually hitting the bridge.

[@Serps-ii9zc]

There's a Crash bar about 6 feet before the bridge, that's what the trucks are actually hitting not the bridge itself. Crashes average about 1 a month, no matter how many additional warning systems they add. Most of them are rentals being driven by inexperienced (when it comes to large vehicles) drivers. Also a little fun fact that I heard, apparently insurance does NOT cover damage above the cab (like what hitting a low bridge would cause).

[@CrippledMerc]

I believe someone that lives nearby set up the camera. They have the website that they post these videos on. Also, I counted 8 Penske trucks. Even after they added a bunch of signs and warnings people still plow into the bridge. It sucks for them but it’s hilarious for us.

[@ljeans531]

They legit can nor even blame the city, it's like. 8 signs and you KNOW how much clearance you have. I swear they can't read

[@michaelturner5366]

This bridge is in Durham N.C and if u look almost all rental trucks not actually truck drivers

[@logandarklighter]

09:13 "Two men and a Truck." "Well now it's Two Men and a Half-a-Truck." I LOLed SO goddamn much!!! XD XD XD

[@DavidRomigJr]

The clearance of this bridge is just smaller than many modern trucks. It was built a long time before modern standards. There is a train track on top and water/sewer line just below the road. The height cannot be altered without significant cost. The railroad company put a bar up to protect the bridge. The bridge is not getting damaged by these accidents. The city put up many signs: slow speed limit signs, multiple height signs, warning lights, at one point a red warning that appears if an overheight vehicle approaches. It reduced accidents a lot but I hear there is still at least one accident per month. The camera is some guys personal webcam who works in the office building facing the intersection. Also, Penske is a rental company. Most Penske trucks are driven by regular citizens. It’s the regular citizens’ insurances that are being hit.

[@jasonbruno1779]

Love your videos, I do have an update to the 11ft 8 bridge, I think back in November 2019 they raised the bridge 8in and added a new I beam buffer in front of the bridge and their has been more crashes since then, his new Chanel is 11ft 8 +8. I guess the one guy owns all the cameras

[@MsGeoffh]

Penske's insurance premiums must be through the roof lol

[@leechowning8728]

Nope, it's in the rental waiver... "You hit the bridge, we charge YOUR insurance, not ours". The thing that is REALLY annoying is that the truck route is ONE block over, and has a level crossing.

[@ziggyzap1]

from a legal lawyers website "Since 2012 Penske Truck Leasing was involved in a total of 2713 reported vehicle accidents across the U.S. Fatalities resulted in 13 of these Penske Truck Leasing crashes. It is surprising there are not more, honestly"

[@numberzthegreat]

The owner of that camera actually owns a business on that corner. These wrecks happen so often that he decided to set-up a camera to catch them all lol. the bridge height is unusual so people not common to the area no nothing about that bridge

[@conradroberts1634]

I've heard the locals call the bridge the can opener

[@CB-lh8gw]

This is why I hate box trucks. Anybody can drive them, you don't need any training legally to drive them and the drivers rarely if ever have any actual idea of what their vehicle's dimensions are. Most wouldn't even think about being too tall or too wide because they drive it like their personal vehicle. Carelessly.

[@Machineheadtim]

not all box trucks can be driven by an average class c license if the vehicle weighs in at over 26,000lbs its required class b CDL or class A CDL

[@Adplusamequalsadam]

XDENT TIM I’ve never seen a rental truck that weighs that much, unless it’s carrying a trailer too. You can drive any U-Haul, Penske, or Budget truck with a class D license. U-Hauls 26 foot (largest) truck is 20,000 GVW loaded with 7,400.(max load) But the issue here is more with height than weight, from what I heard they have the height listed on the windshield so if you get behind the wheel you can see it. So the drivers are still idiots.

[@MASTURBIKER]

As an ex truck driver here in Australia I can say there is nothing inside the truck telling you the height of the truck and none of the managers/bosses/maintenance crew knew the heights of any of their trucks either, I eyeballed it and haven't hit a bridge yet but I have has to back up from 2 bridges.....companies don't make it easy for drivers but yeah if one guy hits a bridge all the other drivers should have been told about that bridge.

[@oldmanballer5088]

I feel like they should mount a huge 10”pvc pipe off of a pole 30’ from the bridge hang the pipe at 11’6” and have signs and lights that say if your truck hits this your too tall for the bridge! Maybe that would solve the problem of so many hitting it! I know it won’t stop them all but I would like to think it would stop the majority!

[@ChandraSivadhar]

I like the last one 😂😂😂😂😹

[@jdeamaral]

If they took the yellow sign out, most trucks would fit.

[@rock4u197335]

the camera for that bridge is because of all the accidents and there is a steel beam before the bridge so the bridge isn't damaged much the beam is on both sides. plus a lot of the trucks don't listen there is now an electric sign saying turn your too tall before there was just flashing lights that would activate when a truck passed a camera with a measurement addition

[@BrianSchaffer]

Actually, some of those moving companies don't cover these incidents, even with full coverage.

[@T-Dawg123a]

from what i understand the local PENSKE tells truck renters about the bridge but other PENSKEs in other locations either don't know about the bridge or don't know where their renters are taking the truck.

[@shaunosmorrison8385]

pretty sure I read somewhere that damage above the cab isn't covered

not only are there signs but theres also lights that flash if your trucks too tall to make it the bridge wont give out thease trucks are hitting a bar like 6 to 10 feet before the bridge if you listen close to some of them you can hear a ting then 2 thuds the 2 thuds are hitting the bridge ryder budget and Penske are all truck rentals like uhual its not public cameras the cameras are in office buildings that started recording

[@coast2coast00]

Not only are there lights that flash, but the intersection turns to red when it detects an overheight vehicle aproaching, so they have time to look and read the signs. Most of these guys are going fast because they are speeding through the red light also.

[@npk765fan]

On top of the bridge is a Rail line and the Railroad they won’t raise the bridge And the city can’t lower the bridge because a pipe is below it and they can’t move the pipe

[@gamerjohnbot]

so we just gonna skip over that u guys in the comments made ash afraid to read,no one gonna address that

[@Gigidag77]

They raised the bridge to 12.1 now

[@Timbrock1000]

The bridge suffers no viable damage because it's a railroad bridge. It was designed to bear tremendous loads. It is constructed from concrete and solid steel. It has a deep foundation and lateral bracing. Truck cargo boxes made from plywood and aluminum are like toys. Unfortunately, there is no way to fix it. Nearby level street crossings make it impossible to raise, and a sewer line under the road make the road impossible to lower. All that can be done is to verbally warn drivers, and instal a warning system. Both of which have been done, it some folks just ignore the warning.

[@eezZzee]

They should lower the road if it's too expensive to heighten the railway line.

[@Elizabeth-fu8lf]

Would you react to kim chungha why don't you know debut stage

[@patrickhuot001]

You’d hope that those moving trucks that hit the bridge are empty. Otherwise, all your furniture, appliances, and other stuff would get damaged or even destroyed.

[@LentPanic7]

Fun Fact: Penske doesn’t offer insurance for damages that occur on top of their vehicles because of how often these things happen, so unless your own personal insurance covers these sorts of damages, you’re paying out of pocket.

[@Serps-ii9zc]

Most insurance companies don't cover damage above the cab. You hit the bridge it's on you, or in this case the 132 drivers that don't pay attention as of this comment.

You'd think by now they would have decided raise that bridge a few feet. I wonder if there is some technical reason that isn't feasible.

[@RojOdio]

I went to that website's FAQ, which has that very question. "Can't the bridge be raised?" "Here, too, the question is who would want to pay the millions of dollars to raise the tracks a couple of feet? To accomplish this, the grade of the tracks would have to changed on both sides of the trestle, probably for several miles. That would require rebuilding all trestles in Durham. And NS would have to shut down this busy track for months. I don’t think they are interested in that idea."

[@leechowning8728]

several other bridges, including 2 other low ones, a dozen level crossings, and basically relaying the track over the entire city would be necessary to raise it more than the 8" they did in 2020... The fact is that a level crossing, no bridge at all, is one block up if you turn right there.

[@martinperry5072]

Commercial vehicles only require liability insurance. Just like non commercial vehicles.. As long as the other party is covered, the law is satisfied. You only MUST have full coverage if you're still paying for the vehicle (to cover the loan).

Why dont they have a sign hanging before the bridge, if you hit the sign you will hit the bridge. We have that here in my town. so they don't have to actually hit the bridge to know.

[@Serps-ii9zc]

I've heard it's because that road actually has quite a bit of truck traffic because of businesses on the side street getting deliveries.
