Can you figure out this riddle?

There is a low railroad bridge in your town. One day you see a large truck stopped just before the underpass. When you ask what has happened, the driver tells you that his truck is one inch higher than the indicated height of the opening. This is the only road to his destination. What can he do to get through the underpass the easiest way?

Common Wrong Answers

Drive in reverse

Driving in reverse would not change the height of the truck, and the truck would still be too tall to pass under the bridge.

Remove the cargo

While removing cargo might lower the truck's height, it could be impractical or impossible depending on the type and weight of the cargo, and it may not lower the truck enough to fit under the bridge.

Try to break the bridge

Attempting to break the bridge is not a feasible solution and could lead to legal consequences and safety hazards without solving the height issue.
