Hi saynime. Welcome to Laptop GPS World. As JB00 and d111 already indicated, the current Streets and Trips 2009 version still doesn't offer such functionality (but it would be useful to many users if it would).

However, Streets & Trips is used by many truckers, despite the lack of truck-specific routing functionality. There have been various discussions here at the forum, where truck drivers described how they use the program. Here's one such thread but there are more): Microsoft Streets and Trips (professional driver): Is there a better way?

I'd like to ask again for verification..will S&T 2009 show you that you can't go this way because of a low clearance bridge?

thanks.
Streets and Trips 2009 (and earlier) doesn't come with such functionality, but that hasn't stopped operators of large vehicles from using Streets and Trips for trip planning and GPS navigation.

Go to http://www.discoveryowners.com/cginfolinks.htm This is part of a web site for Discovery Motorhome owners. It has several Streets & Trips POI overlays including Wal-Mart (with and without fuel), Sams Club (with and without fuel), Cracker Barrels, Golden Corrals, Pilot Service Stations, Flying J Service Stations and a lot more, including three (I think) separate height overlays. They're in DeLorme, S&T, CoPilot and .txt format. I do not know how often it's updated but, just off the top of my head, I doubt that bridge clearances change much.
