Why Aren’t Side Underride Guards Required by Law?

When you’re driving near a semi-truck, you’ve probably seen the metal bar attached to the back of the trailer that hangs lower to the ground. That’s called an underride guard, or more specifically, a Mansfield Bar, and attaches to the rear suspension of a semi’s trailer to prevent cars from slipping under the back of the truck after a collision.

What Are the Most Common Truck Driver Violations?

We see large trucks around us every day, whether on city roads making local deliveries or on the interstate transporting cargo across the country. They drive long hours and often push themselves too hard to meet deadlines, which, in turn, can lead them to make poor decisions while operating commercial motor vehicles (CMVs).

Our Experience Is Personal

Scott L. Frost’s Family Experience with Lung Cancer

For most of his life, Scott L. Frost’s father, who was in the construction industry, worked with and sold products containing asbestos without knowing the materials were dangerous. He was diagnosed with lung cancer 40 years after starting his career, leading Scott’s family to fight like they had never fought before.

Pictured here with his wife of over 50 years, Scott’s father eventually succumbed to the cancer. Since then, Scott has made it his mission to do everything in his power to make sure corporations understand how dangerous asbestos is and prevent future generations from suffering as his family did, as well as support research that may lead to finding a cure.
