I've seen a lot where the max clearance is either dead center, where you have to straddle lanes, as the sides are a lot lower.
A few years ago we had a truck knock an Interstate bridge down with his O/S load. Plenty of clearance in the middle, on the sides not so much.
Even at 11' tall with my trailers (old and new) I find that my biggest issue is not the highways but some fuel stops. Get off the beaten path and some still have overhead hazards that are low enough to be a concern.
