You can buy this software (see the discount coupon on the front page) for $15, download and put in your Garmin for the heights you need. The database is emailed to you and it has instructions how to load your GPS device. Best $15 we ever spent!
Our stacker trailer is happier with bridges higher than 13' 6' (it is 13' 4' high but we actually know someone who went under a bridge that was the correct height but no one mentioned that the highway repaved the road and made it an inch higher, making the bridge in effect, an inch lower....he left everything on top of his bus and some of the top of his bus on only one side of the bridge). We set the Garmin to only take us on routes where the bridges are two KNOWN inches higher than our stacker trailer.
KUDOS to Newell Gurus Forum who first mentioned this last year, I think from Clark and Elaine.
