That is right. There are people well into their 70s driving trucks. Many have no choice and don’t have gold plated pensions like most government employees/bureaucrats do.

Lucky for you if you retire at an early age, but many have to keep working until the day they die.

A very large boom truck hit the overpass in Greenwood cemetery in Brooklyn NY when they forgot to lower the boom before taking off. The boom itself ripped off the bed and the 3 guys in the cab went out thru the windshield. No one killed. Truck destroyed. Overpass has small white mark on the stone exterior.

We have much lower underpasses than that in the NYC area. There are a lot that 10’ 2” or 9’ 8”. There are signs at all the entrances No Trucks, Low Bridge.

Apparently if you watch the video lots of truck drivers either can’t read or can’t do simple math.
