At about four in the morning, while traveling on state highway 39, north of Dennison Iowa, I ran up on a herd of horses. Most of them got away, but I did hit one. When I got out to have a look at the damage, I was surprised that my Pete only had minor damage. I was on my way in a few minutes.

June 2001, 5 kilometers west of the Hemlo Goldmine, on Hwy 17, I ran into 3 Moose. I clipped one with the driver side corner of my bumper, the second ran directly into my trailer. While I was watching them both stagger away, through my rear view, a big 1500 pounder came out on my right. This one hit hard, my truck actually went airborne. Fortunately, my Ali Arc Protection bar stood up to the test. While there was some damage to my truck, I was only down for about 30 minutes. The cost to repair all the damage was less then $3000. Without the Ali Arc bar, I would easily have been over $30,000, not to mention all the down time.

We have been using the “ROOBARS” on our trucks for a number of years now and we would not even consider purchasing a new unit without one. The price of the Roobar is not a question, considering what the price of a new truck is. The area that we haul to can be very highly populated with moose. Last spring one of our drivers counted over 40 moose in one 11 hour shift…We have hit a number of moose where all we had to do was bend the bar back into place. We would have no hesitation to recommend…

I was in my sleeper, while we were en route to Alaska… when this horrific crash occurred. I was sure we had hit a vehicle… My co-driver thought it was a moose, he only saw a shadow and BOOM… he never had a chance to touch the brakes… we stopped to assess the damage… there was no doubt about it, we hit a moose… It hit hard enough that the radiator moved back on the rubber mounts and left an imprint of the fan hub in the radiator fins...no damage to the Rad… I was able to straighten and repair the grill myself in my shop after the trip… Without the Roo-Guard there is no doubt that the trip would have been over right on the spot! I would have lost the revenue for the trip, the truck would have been towed back to Edmonton, and the Hood, Grill, Shutters, Radiator and who knows what else would have been destroyed. Plus the truck would have been down for a month…

…I was southbound on highway 21, south of Delbun, Alberta, when a northbound car crossed the centerline and hit me head on. The bar took the brunt of the impact. The car spun and bounced down the side of my truck… I sincerely believe that if it were not for the bar, the car would have gone underneath the truck, taking out the front axle, and I would have lost all control of the truck… I was carrying a full load of ammonium nitrate, solution, the outcome of this accident could have been much worse.
