Indeed, my first thought was that all Rental Companies should prominently post this information in the cab, and make a point of having renters sign off on the fact that they are aware of the height. It seems like a good idea for any institution that has company trucks or vans to post this information in a conspicuous place in the cab. And if you know you have low bridge in your immediate area, you should make a point of mentioning it to anyone who may drive your vehicles.
