The seminar took place at the Golden Nugget Hotel in Las Vegas, presented by David Hendel, attorney for the National Star Route Mail Contractors Association (NSRMCA). This seminar focuses on HCR and CDS Contracts Terms and conditions for postal service contractors to maximize business operations.
The postal service plays a vital role in the employment and service of our transportation industry. Ex-Guard uses the NSRMCA as an opportunity to learn more about the postal service industry including claims, disputes, and the legal rights of drivers. Learning the annual changes in regulations as well as the day-to-day struggle that the postal service encounters help the Ex-Guard research and development department expand to keep in close contact with the needs of this developing area.
As the demand for shipping online orders increases, so does the demand for drivers in the postal service. Ex-Guard continues to support and learn from the leaders in the postal transportation industry.
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.
VISIBILITY TEST
To ensure the quality of our product on the latest vehicle makes and models, we took the 2018 New Generation Cascadia for a test. The image on the right showcases the visibility of the truck with and without a guard.
The conditions are true to what truck drivers face daily. Conditions shown are dark and raining on an unlit road. The driver has on the fog and headlights. For New Generation Cascadia models with fog lights, you can use our standard guards or ask about the XG 100 Series Deep Guard designs.

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.
