Hit Moose at 105km/hr with Ex-Guard!

“Hit a full grown cow moose dead centre last night at 105kmhr. Saved me and my truck. Just rolled the mount brackets some. I travel thousands of km every year on back roads repairing forestry equipment in northern Alberta. Best guard I’ve seen and a super good investment. Thanks Ex-Guard!”

…we have fully taken advantage of the ROI this product will give you.

“We have been using the Ex-Guard XG-125 product for over four years now. Before we started installing them, our average animal collision costs were roughly $10k per truck. Almost every incident required extensive hood repair, grill replacement, bumper replacement or repair, headlight assembly replacement, and can even get as far as changing the air cooler, AC condenser, radiator and fan hub components. Now that our fleet is 100% fitted with deer guards, we see minimal damage to the front ends of our trucks. We have no doubt in our minds that we have fully taken advantage of the ROI this product will give you.”

Seay Oil Company Testimonial

“Our Ex-Guard grille guards have been quite an impressive piece. Many deer collisions have happened over the past few years and we have yet to experience downtime from them. The most memorable deer collision happened recently. A driver of ours hit a deer at high speed and kept going as nothing was wrong with the truck. After stopping to inspect the front end, he realized that the deer was wedged into the grille guard and he had to pull it out by the legs and drag it off the road. This collision would have destroyed the front end of the truck but, thanks to the Ex-Guard, it wasn’t damaged at all. Thank you Ex-Guard!”

THE 2018 NSRMCA SHOW

KEEPING HCR Contractors Safe

2018 NATIONAL STAR ROUTE ASSOCIATION EVENT

Western Region Manager Dennis Geipel and I recently attended the Western/Central National Star Route Mail Contractors Association (NSRMCA) as a vendor for their meeting held at the Golden Nugget in Las Vegas, NV on Monday, January 15th through Wednesday, January 17th.

Dennis and I visited with many HCR contractors and mail haulers in Las Vegas that stopped by our vendor booth. Many of these same visitors gave us testimonials as to how the Ex-Guard grille and bumper protection system performed on their respective vehicles. The majority of the comments we received were very complimentary as to how Ex- Guard minimized downtime because of its well-proven ability to sustain multiple wildlife collisions little or minimal damage to trucks.

To give all of you some background, the NSRMCA represents over 17,000 United States Postal Service Highway Contract Route Carriers (HCR). The HCR routes consist of contract box delivery routes, which resemble a Postal rural route; and also larger contract routes that consist of the utilization of straight trucks all the way up to tractor/trailer long-haul routes. The Association has two basic objectives of providing legislative and regulatory protection for its membership and ultimately for the entire postal highway contracting industry.

Having worked with this industry for several years, it is clear to see how this industry is a ‘good fit’ for Ex-Guard, and how we could assist HCR straight truck and tractor/trailer mail haulers deliver their vital product with “certainty, celerity, and security, in accordance with the operating schedule”. Many of the HCR routes begin their day at dawn, and end at dusk, running a set schedule while others provide around the clock service going from point to point, city to city, and state to state.

With the HCR routes covering so many miles per day, it is no wonder many of the drivers for these HCR contractors encounter deer and other four-legged creatures. It is a high priority with the Postal Service that the HCR contractors reach their destinations on time, but the safety of the driver and equipment is of utmost importance. Protecting these Contractors is our business and we take it very seriously.

Ex-Guard is very supportive of the United States Postal Service and all the mail haulers across the U.S. I have had the honor and privilege of working with many of the Contractors that are members of the NSRMCA for over 3 decades prior to my career with Ex-Guard.
