That is until the repave it with 6 inches of top layer and do not repost it.
A friend got a loader stuck under one.
They had been using the same truck and loader for years under the same 
overpass.
The state paid for the damage.
My 102 inch CB whip was over the limit, so I put on a shorter one.
I do not scrape the gas station canopies anymore.
Most gas station canopies where I live will pass a legal truck.
