What? Are truck drivers looking for a hat trick? Are they trying to set an unbeatable world record?

Somehow, drivers started forgetting to check things. In this day of computing magic it seems hard for them to say "is none of my route under 13 feet tall?" And signs and maps don't work, I guess.

Edit: eyeballs too, for to strike that bridge you have to drive past this sign and not see it: https://maps.app.goo.gl/jmUPgCoZPXnTrevS6
