When you are unsure of your trailer's clearance, getting out and measuring or looking for signs indicating clearance is the most prudent and safe action to take. This approach allows you to verify clearance directly, ensuring that you have accurate information before proceeding. Measuring or observing signage provides concrete data that you can rely on, helping to avoid accidents or damage that could occur if you were to proceed without confirming clearance. This action reflects a proactive and responsible mindset regarding safety, as you’re actively assessing the current conditions rather than making assumptions that could lead to complications. Other options, like driving slowly and hoping for the best, can lead to risky decisions that might compromise your safety and that of others on the road. Contacting a local authority for advice might not yield immediate help and could delay your progress unnecessarily. While using a truck’s GPS for height information might seem convenient, GPS systems can sometimes provide outdated or inaccurate information regarding obstacles like bridges or overpasses. Therefore, physically verifying clearance is always the safest course of action.
