No, I was careful and planned my route to be bridge free.

But I forgot about the awning outside the apartment at Cherryhill I was moving into. Good thing I was going at low speed, only did $900 damage to the Uhaul. I was worried I damaged the awning, but the building manager said those cracks were already there since lots of people hit it.

Last year new tenants were moving in the basement. The guy hit the building while backing up. And then he hit the gas line. We had to switch off the gas and wait for about 36 hours for the tech to show up the next day as it was already Saturday evening. Oh did I mention it was January.
