You're luckier than these guys then :) Maybe it's regional but many times the canopies are only 11' to 12'.
5th wheel takes out canopy
Trailer almost takes out canopy
Moving van hits gas station canopy
Gotta look............UP! :B
It might be regional, I drove a fuel tanker for 17 years, and I never found one I couldn't fit under, and I was over 13' for my semi.
I do not worry about any gas station in my area.
I also never do a pull test when hooking up to my 5er. I get out and look at the plate when I hook up, just like I did while driving my semi. Sorry for getting off topic. ;)
