"Go ahead, raise your bridge. We'll just bring a taller truck."
Now it Just peels the Tops perfectly
😂😂😂
war never changes
Double decker camper bus go brrrrr
Can't raise the bridge. Make the road under it, lower.
seeing some of the tops slice off like butter is oddly satisfying tho

I LOVE that one of the stock photo guys actually contacted Dunk and asked to have their face blurred. Lmao.
Oh that’s why the guys face was blurred! How nice that they respected his wishes.
Clearly doesn't want everyone to know they are the greatest truck driver of all time
@@Saddison01 Or that he invented Styrofoam
@@andrewrobinson1634 what a humble man
@@ixxxxxxxwho cares, he asked kindly to blur him out. Dunkey didn't have to do it, but he's a good guy so that's that.
I'm a bridge engineer, so I am not surprised this showed up in my feed. But then when I saw it was a video by dunkey, I knew this was gonna be an instant classic.
@@waldo2635 While there *are* (anything lower than 16ft 6in has to be marked, IDK if there's a solid min from a quick google), this bridge is special because this bridge was built before any semblance of standards. Because of this, the city put sewer lines underneath the bridge, leaving little to no room for it to be lowered, and a train track on the bridge, which can't easily be moved without adjusting the *entire track* and all bridges (trains don't like slopes).
(Fun Fact: The only reason it was raised is to help with another train crossing, which just so happened to have a positive benefit).
src: 11ft8's website
Classic
Any thoughts on this issue? How can it be that there isn't some kind of standard or regulation but bridge builders and/or truck builders can follow so that this doesn't happen. Obviously there is already some stupidity at play with the drivers ignoring the sign which tells the height...
@@AlecAndersonZxi think bridges used to be lower than today. and now they don't wanna raise it because of so few accidents and there are probably pipes under the bridge and raising the rails seems like a lot of work but all in all, it's just my guess that the trucks are cheaper for the city than changing the bridge.
Haven't even watched it yet, classic!
I actually could not believe the guy who backed up to try the bridge again
"Finally, a good truck driv--ope, wait, nevermind."
Dude literally could not have messed up worse. He was driving the wrong way down a one way road.
Its a one way street and he was originally going the wrong way. So he backs up to go the right way, but the bridge is there
The other people probably weren't paying attention. That guy, he chose his fate
You would hate to see the things I've seen. I work for shipping at a meat processing plant. They'll give anybody a commercial license
I can't believe they're just giving out free convertibles like this
Convertibles have to, you know, convert. This only goes one way.
@@erichansen2999 It did convert. Just once
According to the bridge, they were always convertibles. Now they're converteds
God damn that was funny
@@erichansen2999 we'll call 'em CDL Spyders then
The most painful one was the Penske truck that immediately reversed at full speed without possibly knowing whether or not someone was behind him.
What suprises me is that no one honked while the idiot did a complete reverse backwars maneur

I love the one at 2:53 where he looks like he turns left to avoid the bridge then realizes he's going the wrong way on a one way only road then proceeds to back up turn around and drive straight into the bridge 😂
That was funny, I was thinking, at least one guy made a smart decision, then he comes back like the bridge was challenging him
Hard same. The fact all the other cars at the junction got to witness the entire thing unfold is just gold.
@@chincemagnettis a one way
@@chincemagneti i know right?
"Well, you made a smart decision! Wait...that's a 1 way road...hahahahahahahahahhaha"
You know what? Screw the roof on this truck.
I'd like to imagine that these are all driven by the same exact guy after getting fired from one truck driving company and getting hired at another.
"Ah geez, not again!"
And the truth may surprise you
That would be quite the high level of trolling
Me too, though I like to think it more as if it was rented by the same person who has some idiotic vendetta on that bridge.
What you mean? He showed us a bunch of the drivers
The guy that turned away and then decided to come back and try it was comedy perfection.
The bridge called him a coward as he was driving away
"Y'know what? Not today."
*"ACTUALLY-"*
The street is a One-Way street. He turned left into on-coming traffic, so he had to back up.
@@BiggestDoucheEver That makes it even more tragic. He had to return to the bridge knowing he would fall, but save the other vehicles.
A true hero’s sacrifice.
@@ROFLobster4884 he could a just went straight LOL
It's not like there werent a million signs telling trucks to not go under that bridge
This bridge is also called the "Gregson Street Guillotine" and I enjoy that a lot.
Oh I thought it was sturrow
Or route 30 in westborough ( commuter rail)
0:30 Considering that he managed to stop before any real damage was done (unlike almost everyone else in the video), maybe he really was one of the greatest truck drivers.
Considering it's the same truck from the second to last clip, I disagree greatly
The locals: "Eh the ole' can opener got another one, I'll be home late".
@Low Tier God if you’re trying to copy youtubers channels and make comments, it’s clear you need to get a personality
as a local, this is accurate
I prefer to call it the Gregson Street Guillotine
i used to drive under this bridge every day, never saw a truck get caught tho
Better than anything on tv
One of the funniest moments of my life was finding this channel and going, "what fucking idiots live in this city" and then realizing it is literally a quarter mile from my house.
grab some popcorn & a lawnchair
Fucking lol
Lmao yeah, small world huh?
I read your comment and said to myself "damn I wish that was me" and then I looked up where the bridge is and I also live in this city.....
Yeah I have to pass it every day
The stupid shot of the building at 1:25 is absolutely hilarious to me for some reason 💀

2:25 ish where she is describing the truck then stops mid-sentence for the crash almost ended my life. I truly have to not laugh this much. I have a bad heart and all. lol
As someone getting ready to go into the trucking industry, THIS is one of my biggest fears
Most semis are 13'6". Just know how tall you are, ez. I had a delivery in the Bronx once, made a wrong turn leaving and wound up with a low bridge in front of me, a one way going towards me on my left, a totally blocked one way on my right, and a busy intersection behind. It sucks, but you gotta just sit there blocking traffic with your 4-ways on and call the cops to help back you up. It's easy to prevent by planning your route and only a little annoying if you find yourself in that situation. All you have to do is not hit the bridge.
Citizens can be relatively cool about it too. Actually recruited a team of 6 people one time to help. Mostly they just wanted me to get the hell out of the way.
Was a bit panicked, so anyone willing to help played calm and collected.
@@dg_yorick6814Been there. Container near Newark, has to back up a quarter mile with a cop blocking traffic. The 12'6" ahead sign was behind a bush. He was just happy I didn't actually hit the bridge.
Dude they really refined the can opening by raising the bridge. Before it would dig into the truck and get stuck but now it clean grazes the top off.
They should put the old guard rail back 😂
Typical genius you can expect from troglodyte government workers. Never thinking of unintended consequences, EVER
@@galil_6863 Its retired, been working since the 1940's.
Gotta love a nice clean cut.
I laughed so much reading this lol
They raised the bridge so it would be a more satisfying, clean cut of the truck roof
Like butter
The bridge bar is the kitchen knife i guess for shaving off unwanted space Lmao
its literally satisfying watching the top layer get sliced off like butter
@@HarrisonHUMAN was thinking the same thing, like its peeling open like a fruit
That truck kept just going too, completely ignored it lol
*Government leaves half a dozen warning signs and bright yellow paint indicating low clearance*
Truck drivers: "that won't stop me cuz I can't read."
They actually put in a sensor that detects a too tall truck coming down the road and gives a "no clearance" warning.
@@binkyxz3 truck drivers: "that won't stop me cuz I'm not paying attention."
@@mwperk02 True, I was just updating the narrative.
@@binkyxz3 The sensor turns the light to red when an overheight truck is detected so you have an entire light cycle to notice the warning. Trucks still hit the bridge, or they go faster to try and beat the red light. Very funny.
It's just amazing how good of a peel some of these trucks get.
That last truck is like: "Whatever, I didn't like that roof anyway"
HAHAHAHAHHAH
Like a bows!
This is the funniest thing I have ever read in my life, ever.
@@johnvarley4561 Sorry to hear that
The "Not Today" clip was so painful. He turned and went the wrong way on a one way, then reversed into an intersection so he could turn around and run into a bridge.
Comedy gold
I imagine there to be another bridge even lower xD there is no other explaination.
@@SeiShinCasios actually the road he tried first was a one way street he was going the wrong way down, his best bet was to go straight
@@trollshamanpwnage haha, poor guy :/
@@trollshamanpwnage the clip cuts off before it happens but after running into the bridge he actually reverses and then goes straight
I like to think this is some kinda local legend amongst trucking companies nearby, and it's a good test to see whose truck is new in town by the damages on the tops.
I know this comment is extremely late but I mean this in the most serious way possible. I was deathly afraid of 18 wheelers for as long as I can remember. This video has cured that fear and has finally allowed me to learn how to drive a car. Thank you Dunkey I love all your videos and this one hit the most close to home.
Why are you afraid
steel your heart do not be afraid

This editing is brilliant. Hé even went as far as looking up local trucking companies and using their ads. Fantastic 😂
This bridge is in my state, in the city of Durham, NC. It's well known locally for absolutely destroying trucks and other big vehicles that it has earned the nickname "the Can Opener."
Dang I was just in Durham. I love these videos. I wish had camped out here for a day
Gotta love the Penske peel
Yep, i went to the highschool in downtown Durham just a few blocks from this bridge, it was always fun walking past the bridge after school and seeing the bridge taking another truck, Keep it dirty Durham
based and bridgepilled
@@stratt6304 lmao how often would it happen?
The way it perfectly shears off some of the roofs is really satisfying for some reason.
The Norfolk Southern-Gregson Street Overpass has been given the nickname the "Can Opener" for that reason, its a real thing and yes so many trucks attempt it every year. The effect happens from the steel plate that was placed to sheild the railroad bridge from potential damage from all the trucks. Much of it is on the truckers for sure, but there really is a lack of alternative paths for truckers, especially when given that the road is a one way.
i know right? ^^
Are we...baddies? :D
@@Mystipaoniz not baddies, badasses
@@christopherrowe7860 It’s also meant to slow down the driver over a greater period of the time so the impulse isn’t as severe.
It's funny that the town put a video camera there to see how many truck drivers it takes to ruin there RENTED trucks.
I love the fact that literally every major moving/delivery company has passed under this specific bridge at some point.
I've known about this bridge for years and these videos STILL make me laugh my ass off.
I think my favorite part is that when they raised the bridge it still wasn't high enough for any of the trucks, but now it perfectly peels the top with very little resistance
It's high enough for a lot of the trucks, that one at the end was just an outlier. There are still some Budget/Penske trucks that get some metal shavings off of the roof but leaving the roof intact, and a couple of them do still get their cans opened, but raising the bridge to 12'4" did make a significant improvement to the bridge problem.
The people behind it knew exactly what they wanted. Can't just let a national treasure like that disappear. Think about the publicity and content it brings. :)
The railroad raised it to save fuel or something on that section of track. The additional clearance was just a secondary benefit. Lol
They optimized it lmao
@Garbage Guy
Versus the cost of inspecting the bridge and repairing the signage after every impact? I've dealt with the railroad companies before -- they're the biggest pains in the ass in the world to work with. What they say GOES and they will happily levy as many fines as possible if you don't kiss their feet.

This is a great way to revisit these classics
I used to go to school just around the corner from this bridge. It gained the name “The Can Opener” over the years. They continue to put up signs, flashing lights, even raising the damn thing to prevent it from happening, but The Can Opener always prevailed to prove that it could still easily cause a hilarious backup a mile long on Gregson St
DA or Duke?
Where is that bridge?
If i lived there i would spend hours watching that bridge and lmao every time.
The gregson st guillotine. Love to see it.
The bridge being raised had nothing to do with the crashes. The company that owns the bridge just wanted to level out the train track so that their trains could go faster. They don't actually care about solving the crash problem at all, because there is no profit in it. The city can't lower the road either, because there is a sewer line below it.
I like to imagine this as a four year old playing with his hot wheels and giving each truck a super impressive introduction before crashing them into the bridge set and saying they were “no match” for the mighty bridge.
Sorta has the same energy as the trains youd get with the wooden tracks and trying to see if theyll jump the gap when you remove a piece of the bridge

"We need a 16ft tall bridge"
"Best I can do is 12ft 4in"
Because railroad tracks run over the bridge, it's really hard to raise it a good distance.
And a sewer main is underneath, making the alternative of lowering the road also diffiuclt.
Honestly if they had lowered it to 8.5 feet people would probably be less likely to try it.
