What is the purpose of these huge bumpers? They appear to be either stainless or aluminum tube, strongly welded. Are the fibreglas hoods that fragile/expensive? Also - I'm seeing a lot of 'supertires' (two LARGE tires instead of four per axle). Does this depend on which state allows them? And WHAT IS UP with those LOOOONG (2 or 3 or 4) trailers in Michigan?
Yes, the bumpers are primarily for animals like deer. The fiberlass front ends are expensive and break easily. A deer will pretty much just bounce off the bumper without much damage. Some drivers spend much of their time going through high animal traffic areas, like anywhere in Wisconsin. The bumpers also help keep cars from going under the truck. For some fun, in your search engine type in Australian road train and see what comes up. In Australia, they run as many as twenty trailers (maybe more) hooked onto one tractor. It is impressive to see. I want to try that at least once. Michigan is one of the few states that have several different laws concerning tractor trailers. I think I saw a large dump truck with 10 axles. That's just crazy.
