- Just six inches of wet snow on a 45-foot trailer is an additional 2,400 pounds. By eliminating this extra weight, you save money.
- There is documented cases all over the United States of serious injury and even death occurring when snow starts to freeze causing ice to form and then become ejected from commercial vehicle roofs.
- The government has no idea how to remedy the problem. They are forcing the trucking industry to come up with a solution. In either case the government will be enforcing the law with hefty fines.
Personal liability claims from snow and ice slabs causing an accident, injury or a fatality. Financial liability in those cases would be up to judges and juries. One personal injury or death from the negligence of not cleaning the snow or ice off the vehicle could be in the millions.
Companies will face heavy fines, as do their drivers, if snow or ice slabs fall from a truck or trailer causing personal injury and/or property damage.
