China. Video 37 seconds long so no need to explain.
On the freeway about 2 hours ago I saw a semi carrying about a dozen or so I-beams. The load was secured but there was no headache rack. I was going at around 60-65mpg and the truck overtook me. In an emergency stop from 65-70 mph I wondered if the load would go crashing through the cab. Surprised there is no DOT regulation on headache racks. I did see other semis, some with headache racks on the tractor unit and some with headache rack intergral to the flatbed trailer.
Here is a story from Angola Indiana where sadly the truck driver died when the steel beams he was transporting crashed through the cab .
