The backwards writing on the side of the truck was a small puzzle. Why would the numbers — and a series of vertical letters — be written backwards? Then I actually read them and it immediately became apparent: “15′ 1″ HIGH.” It’s the truck’s clearance, written so the driver or his partner can read it on the side view mirror. Any time they come upon a posted Low Clearance sign they can easily compare it to the truck’s requirements. Rather clever actually.
What’s That Clearance Again?

7 Sep 2011Love the guy’s expression Mark. Would not have noticed the backwards writing by myself. I thought togs were supposed to notice everything.

12 Sep 2011Thank you, Mike. I can’t believe I messed that up. I even thought that 15 feet was awfully high. 12 makes much more sense, and more importantly, is actually correct.
