Headache Rack Mandatory?

Sister in law battled it and won. Poor girl is like in her 30's.
Had the Chemo and lost all her hair. She had nice long black hair. My wife was talking with her during that time on video chat.. That's when I heard about her losing her hair.. She took off her wig she was wearing, the wig did not do her any justice.. Poor girl is was tough looking at her. Then me and my smart mouth trying to cheer her up, I go you lost All your hair, with a big grin.. She looked at me as my wife was about ready to slap me...The sister in law, didn't quite understand me as my Thai is not perfect.. Then my wife repeated the question. I saw a kinda shocked look and her shaking her head yes.. I then go show us please.. I got hit by my wife and a laugh out of my sister in law with a stern but polite No not happening.....

 

Ha! You're a brave man!

 

My wife of 45 years passed away from cancer in the bones on November 4th 2016.
She had breast cancer 9 years ago. The doctor did surgery and she was proclaimed cancer free. They were wrong.
She lasted about two months after we found out it had come back.

I'm thankful we were blessed with the time we had.

 

I retired from the VA 2 1/2 years, went back for a visit a while ago and my old boss showed me the 2 new Macks that were " specially ordered "... his words
Headache Racks and full fenders , I was happy for our drivers who have the most dangerous job in the world...... hauling linen

 

Headache racks haven't been required for some time.
DOT determined that they did not increase safety nor did they prevent stupidity.
They were originally designed to deflect a forward moving object up away from the driver, but with the increase of ignorance in drivers today, they actually became more dangerous.

 

I’ve always had one on all my trucks, I hauled flatbed from 1998 until 2012.
