Trucks around here never clean their roof off. A few sand and gravel companies are also infamous for having sand and stone flying out from under their trucks or out of the dump bodies on the highway. Just with my own vehicles. One company has broken atleast 3 windshields and in one instance, a rock fell out of or off of their truck and bounced down the road onto the hood of a brand new F350 I had. Many of the truckers here just have no consideration for other drivers. One of these days I would like to drive infront of one of them and thre a handful of rocks out the window.

From a truckers point of view, it's not an easy task to climb atop a trailer that's 13'6" tall after snow & ice mounded on it while u were sleeping the nite b4. No guardrails around a slick trailer top & a possible fall could be a death sentence or broken back or limbs in an instant. There's no places to clean it off safely even as a pay for it commercial biz that I know of & I been trucking for 23 years all over the states & Canada.
I've always cleaned any rocks off top edges of trailers I hauled b4 leaving but know some don't. Dumps are usually worst at that because of the nature of loading them & some not tarping or sweeping top edges after loading. The windshields from rocks I've replaced in both my big trk & personal vehicles were always related to me following too close to the vehicle ahead of me. 3 total windshield from that in 28 total years of driving. When I decided if I would adjust my following distance, I quit having broke windshields. I drive an average of 125,000 miles per year the last 20 years. Just my 2 cents from the other side of that equation.
