18 mile detour

So we were just about to our shipper when we encountered a detour that banned trucks 29 tons and over literally a few blocks from where we needed to be. During our detour, we traveled through some amazing scenery and skinny roads. I know Pennsylvania has some mighty tight roads for the big trucks and plenty of short old railroad bridges! Nearing the end of the detour, we came upon some serious police activity which the way around the massive accident between a big truck and small car was to go down a painfully tight serpentine S curve that they had to stop traffic on both sides so we could use every inch of road on both sides to get through. Then we also had to dodge very low tree limbs that hung down. I can now officially say that we used a road marked “trucks over 29 feet prohibited”! We are 72 feet long! I sure wish we had been recording!!
