“As owner operators, we will never own a truck without an Ex-Guard on it. I learned the hard way one night with our first truck, a 2016 Freightliner Cascadia. I hit a deer, and it smashed in the front end. We were forced to take downtime to get repairs done due to the collision. In trucking, involuntary downtime is expensive, especially for owner-operators. We decided to order an Ex-Guard after that. Deer number two happened less than a year later with the same truck. I couldn’t believe the difference; it hit nearly the exact same spot. This time, all I had to do was stop for a truck wash. It didn’t damage anything. We were able to keep rolling. In 2020, we ordered a brand new Peterbilt 579. The first thing we ordered the moment one was available was another Ex-Guard for the front end. I drive every night shift with complete confidence that our truck is safe and protected from highway critters, and probably more. I sleep worry-free all day while my husband drives his shift, knowing he’s protected too. It’s one of the best investments you could make for an 18-wheeler.”
