Maybe, not taking sides here, but maybe it is the giant "12 feet four inches" signs on both sides that let an 11 foot truck think he is clear?

SGT Kevin Hughes Before driving a box truck you should know what the maximum height of the truck is! Also, a sign came on tell him to turn. The driver just didn't pay attention!

Oh, I didn't know that. My best friend and I moved him to his first apartment when he got married. We took a short cut through the Valley. Luckily I talked him into getting the rental Insurance on the truck (which he thanked me for- over and over again) And doggone if he didn't do just like the guys in this Video. I was behind him beeping my horn like crazy, so he slowed down, but didn't know why I was honking my horn. So he only got about a foot or so stuck. We backed him out, and went a different route with a hole in the roof. He told me that he had never driven a truck before, and it just never dawned on him how tall it was. Had we gone the "slower way" we would never of hit anything, there were no bridges. So I can give some slack to some folk, but yep, no your heights, and weights!

The truck wasn't an 11' and change truck. From the video it looked to be 12' 5" or so.
They raised the bridge. Previously it was 11' 8", but was raised to 12' 4" (thus the signs). That's why it now called the "11foot8+8" bridge.

SFC Eric Harmon If that is the case they shouldn't be driving on our roads. The height of the bridge is aerobic anyways!
