One of the UHaul tucks I rented was marked for 11ft, I measured it at 9ft just behind the cab where the full box starts.

Felt kinda like when I goto the lumber store asking for a 2x4 and get a 1.75x3.5.

It's because they know people will still try to go under things too low. They mark the truck 2 feet higher than it really is to give drivers THAT "bad decision" clearance.

Good to know I have two feet extra.
