Ever heard of pedestrian side guards? Chances are that unless you are in the trucking industry, you probably don’t know what side guards are. Pedestrian side guards cover the open space between tires along the sides of a truck. Doing so can greatly reduce the potential for a pedestrian or cyclist to be drawn underneath the truck and severely injured or killed. Acadia requires the use of pedestrian side guards in the waste hauling, fuel oil, and trucking industries on trucks with regular metro travel. However, use of side guards should be considered for any trucks active in pedestrian-heavy environments such as cities and campuses. As an Acadia preferred vendor, Takler Usa Inc. offers discounts on side guards to Acadia customers in the waste hauling, fuel oil, and trucking industries. Please contact your Acadia agent to get you in touch with Acadia’s Loss Control team if you are interested in more information.

Happy Veteran's Day from Acadia Insurance! We'd like to thank all veterans for their service protecting our country.
