Gav and Dan recruit the help of stunt driver Kyle Weishaar, as they attempt to shave the top off a moving truck with a simulated bridge overpass– all in amazing 4K slow motion.

Please note that your truck’s weight can vary slightly according to what type of load you are hauling. By adhering to routes tailored to your load and trailer specifications, you can avoid fines and low bridges.Last but not least, make sure you always check for traffic signs and other warnings when you approach a bridge.
