The sugar beet harvest is one of the largest and most time-restricted harvests in the nation. Speed is of the essence when it comes to harvesting and transporting this crop.

Every now and then, you read a report in the news (or you hear someone tell a story) about a minor car accident. Maybe the person calls it a “fender-bender,” or maybe he or she says something like, “The truck got a little banged up, but no one was hurt.” A crash with no injuries is always good news, but just because someone calls your accident “minor” doesn’t mean that it is. After all, any collision with enough force to bend a fender is one that can cause concern.

There is no guarantee in life that you will walk away from a car accident unharmed. That is not much reassurance, to say the least. Your chances of walking away from a crash with a tractor-trailer without injury are even scarcer because of the size and weight differential between a big rig and a motor vehicle. You can, however, increase your chances of surviving an accident with a big rig.
