Truck accident raises questions about 'headache racks'
A truck driver may have violated safety rules that could have prevented steel beams from going through his cab on Monday.

sharp as a bowling ball indeed.
A headache is not stopping nothing. It’s just there to hang chains on
It would not help. The momentum and the weight headed towards a headache rack is not going to stop the load from shifting forward into the cab
Half a ton headache racks ?????? where ? Wait, ... what?
Furthermore 9 times out of 10 the driver is under securing the load to begin with
Reduces payload, a 500 pound headache rack on a 80k pound truck. Yea that's the reason

They don't weigh no where's near that much.. 75-125 with chain tray..
Even better than a a headache rack... using your brain and actually doing the job properly. 25 yrs OTR flatbed, safety is nothing to get lazy about. My first priority is the safety of myself and the public, and I will always over secure my loads. I don't care if it takes an additional hour, I'm not going to kill anyone because I was lazy or brain dead.
A headache rack isn't going to stop many things but if it slows it down enough it might save your life...
One thing is look for secure mental. Chains should be used, straps would be used In tandem with chains. On a trailer you need more than just 4 or 5. You need an x in the front followed by 3 chains behind it for the first part. Then alternate with straps to another x on the rear
How sharp is a bowling ball?🤔

Spoken like someone who has never even driven a pickup truck.......
Stay in your lane. A headache rack isn't going to keep that load on the trailer and doesn't have anything to do with how much securement is required. "If it doesn't have a head ache rack, I'm not hauling it" .... WUT sound like a swift dry van

You sound like an idiot and just contradicted ylutselfy I guess you'd just send his load hopes and prayers and wish it safe travels
