There's not a good solution for clearing the roof of a trailer. It's 13 and 1/2 feet off the ground and 8 and 1/2 feet wide and fiberglass on top so if you climbed up there you couldn't stand on it. I'm not saying there shouldn't be a way because I've seen all the snow cleared off a trailer when it went under an overpass and it's dramatic and could easily cause a multi-car crash. Just saying someone smarter than me would have to engineer a means to do it.

edit: ...smarter than me, not we. I'm sure together we're wicked smart.

There absolutely IS a good solution for this.

It's been engineered, it's in use today. Selfishness and not giving a single fuck about anyone else on the road is the only reason this still happens.

I'll be damned that's pretty cool. Small fleets will never see them because the owner's don't want to spend the money, not considering the liability it would save them.
