Retrofitting loading docks to work with lower-floor vehicles would be trivial, not to mention many buildings that could not accept deliveries would be able to.

- kelnos 3y agoIf the trucking industry didn't want to spend $127 per trailer to add underride protection, I doubt building owners will want to spend what is likely to be several thousand dollars or more on retrofitting their loading docks.
