I was pulling a 24' gooseneck cattle trailer when I crossed the Mississippi in Memphis. I did not like it one bit. I also hated driving across the Harbor Bridge in Corpus twice a day going to work and then coming home when I lived in Portland...especially on foggy days and there always seemed to be a wreck.

That’s no fun in a big truck. It’s long. It’s pretty dang high. And it’s way too narrow. Passing other trucks, I just knew I was going to clip a mirror in a new and expensive truck. I got over that pretty quick when I hugged the white line too close and the “shoulder” yanked me towards the edge. I got across the Mississippi and felt relieved until I realized I had to do it all over again to get across the Ohio. Those are some big rivers.

I'd find another route.

Didn't know you ever lived in Portland. Cool... Not a bad town.

My boss had to one-up me, of course. He said that he had to take a coiled tubing unit across this bridge, and, of course, in the snow. Coiled tubing units are big. I wouldn’t want to do that, at all, but as you can see in the video, those are railroad tracks going through the middle of it. So yes, they had to watch for trains coming through on top of it all.
