- AReduce following distance to tailgate a preceding delivery truck and use its passage to estimate clearance.
- Stop before reaching the structure, verify the exact clearance, and take an alternate route if safe clearance cannot be confirmed.Cevap

- DRestack freight onto upper cargo shelving to compress the suspension springs and lower the trailer roofline.
Cevap
The driver should stop before reaching the structure, verify the exact clearance, and take an alternate route if safe clearance cannot be confirmed.
Stopping before the structure to confirm vertical clearance or finding an alternate route is the required defensive driving procedure. Safe commercial driving practices dictate that drivers must never guess clearances or force a vehicle under an unverified overhead obstruction.
