Why many trucks break down at level crossings?

765 views

We are seeing many videos about big (and small) trucks breaking down / failing at railway level crossings.

While they seems to be very powerful and reliable long distance traveler, it seems they prefer to fail more often at level crossings.

Any specific reason/s?

Sometimes, semi trucks get stuck on the highest point of the crossing with the trailer’s landing gear (the feet a trailer rests on when not connected to a tractor, lowest point on trailer)
