Kcm, there's people lobbying for underride guards down the sides of the trailers now. What really got it started this last time was a teenager was driving on a highway near where another road or highway went over or under the one he was driving on. He lost control of his car, (summer time, dry conditions) was driving pretty fast, slid up or down the embankment (I think it was up), and it was quite a ways too, and run underneath a semi trailer that was perpendicular to him on that cross road killing him. Family sued the trucking company and won a lot of money, even though it had nothing to do with how the truck driver was driving. Now the family is trying to get the fmcsa to mandate side underride guards on all trailers, stating that if that truck had them on it, their son would be alive.

I know they must hurt, but to sue the trucking company is one thing, and then say it was because the trailers are unsafe? What if it was a tree 100' off the road he had hit?

Imagine a crude hole made in the hood to accommodate a new taller air cleaner, the fender wells cut away to make way for larger tires, and half of a sliding glass door used to replace the windshield. Top that off with an old set of '36 Ford headlight shells bolted to the hood. Pretty unlikely for a car... but for a tractor, this is pretty normal. It seems that more often than not they a
