Thanks for the welcome...I'm a long time lurker. Dunno why it says just one post, I'm positive I've posted before...
But, just to add to this even more, I work at a truck & bus repair company in Brooklyn, and one of the largest heavy duty tow outfits in NYC is just down the block from me (Mike's Heavy Duty Towing) and I see at least two peeled back van trailers and straight trucks a week come back to their yard every single week. Most of the time it is inattentive out of town drivers, but I've heard several stories of roads in NYC where clearances are totally different from the signs posted, and in those cases, the city foots the insane bill that usually accompanies a peelback job (typically around 20-30 THOUSAND dollars for the recovery, unload, transfer, reload onto a new trailer, and the tow.) Strangely enough, one location has had many accidents, many city payouts, and yet they still havent changed the clearance sign...
