Snow, ice research prompts ATA action plan

At the request of American Trucking Associations President and CEO Bill Graves, the American Transportation Research Institute has completed a comprehensive study of the effects of snow and ice accumulation on vehicles.

In regions with significant snowfall, snow and ice can accumulate atop vehicles and can become dislodged. Snow and ice falling from motor vehicles create a variety of safety issues that can result in property damage or injury to other motorists. Based on its findings, ATRI determined that challenges for the trucking industry include the hazards that workers face when manually clearing snow and ice from the tops of trailers, the limited availability and effectiveness of snow removal devices, and the lack of available vehicle-based solutions.
