ATA TMC – Truckers Against Trafficking
2017 TMC Annual Meeting & Transportation Technology Exhibition
We are very honored to have partnered with the Truckers Against Trafficking organization at the TMC Convention, providing the Ex-Guard for the truck that was displayed on the “Everyday Heroes” truck. What an honor it was to take part in creating this unique truck, showcasing the positive changes the truck will bring within the trucking industry to help with the prevention of human trafficking. The proceeds from this truck’s auction will go towards funding the program’s expansion.
THE 2017 NTEA WORK TRUCK SHOW
The Transit Guard took 2 days of beatings from attendees at the 2017 NTEA Work Truck Show.
The annual Work Truck Show was a lively event drawing 11,799 attendees and 505 exhibiting companies. The Ex-Guard team thoroughly enjoyed the amazing exhibits and the hundreds of new and innovative products that were promoted at the show. We are thankful to all who visited our booth and checked out our bestselling CV series grille guard!
Ex-Guard’s Ford Transit guard (CV-25TR1B) endured 2 days of beatings from attendees at the 2017 Work Truck Show in Indianapolis. A special thanks to all who participated in the Hammer Test. The CV Series from Ex-Guard® has a unique design that fits the vehicle well. Our CV series guards are manufactured using the same methods as our semi-truck guards. The 12 gauge high-tensile steel is coated with a thick PVC layer that offers unmatched durability, allowing it to really take a beating.
Collision Mitigation Systems
COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEMS
Collision mitigation systems are becoming increasingly popular and for a very good reason. Per a report from one of the fleets I work with, they have experienced a 40% decrease in front-end collisions. These systems coordinate a single forward radar sensor or group of sensors, the adaptive cruise, and the braking component of late model tractors. The front radar sensor is in an extremely vulnerable and exposed position. This fact, combined with the reality that the system is not designed to “see” animals, gives further justification to equipping your tractor(s) with Ex-Guard front end protection.
The Ex-Guard design team has carefully designed all our guards so they do not interfere with the radar beam of the collision mitigation equipment. As new designs enter the market, we are working to quickly manufacture mounting brackets for those designs to ensure full functionality of these safety features. Rest assured, Ex-Guard has you covered.

Highlights from the #TMC2017 Show!
2017 TMC Annual Meeting & Transportation Technology Exhibition
Ex-Guard was proud to attend and exhibit our products at the American Trucking Association annual Technology & Maintenance Council held February 27 through March 2. There were over 9,000 attendees and exhibitors at this conference. Several OEM booths at the show were presenting new models such as the International LT and the redesigned Freightliner Cascadia. Kenworth, Volvo, and others also had state-of-the-art displays which were real ‘eye catchers’ making each booth a great experience.
From the show, it is quite evident there are many changes occurring in the trucking industry ranging from Electronic Logging Devices (ELD) to brakes and wheel bearings. You name it, this show had it!
Another notable change is the prevalence of collision avoidance systems. Now more than ever, they are becoming an industry standard within all the latest trucks. This is an exciting change that Ex-Guard is ready for. We protect the Collision Avoidance Systems on the front of your truck with our advanced front-end protection products.

North American Commercial Vehicle Show 2019
This year, there was a heavy emphasis on electric vehicles from the majority of truck manufacturers. The Hyundia Neptune was on display and talk about looking like from the future! Daimler had both the eCascadia and the eM2 trucks on the floor as well. Nikola Motor Company displayed a pair of the Nikola Two models at the Bosch booth. International Trucks unveiled their electric truck, the eMV, on day one of the show. Peterbilt showed two trucks as well, the 579 EV and the 220EV. Volvo promoted their Electric VNR but did not have one on the show floor as they were in operation in California.
We are excited for the 2021 show as we cannot wait to see what it will bring to the trucking industry! We were pleased to see everyone there and we are looking forward to reconnecting with everyone in 2021!
