    If you're ever near Cottrell, they've given all of our drivers a nice ball cap that has a removable plastic shell. Hard enough to protect you from the minor bumps and looks like a normal baseball cap. I'm sure they sell them, but all of our drivers were able to talk them into a few for free. I think they're called bump caps.

    Yep, Casanova Cruiser posted the link on page 1 of this thread for those hats, or whatever they are.

    Bump caps were pretty common with the unionized carriers. I'm pretty sure Allied made them policy for awhile in some locations.

    Now a lot of the rail heads up hear require steel toes, safety glasses with side protection, OHSA or DOT approved vest, no short pants or short sleeves.
