depends on the state in which you operate and also the freight. CA no rack needed, AZ rack required unless hauling shippping containers or large crated items. diferrent laws for each state, that's why all over the road trucks have them on but some local or short haul trucks do not. Most likely a good idea anyway from a safety stand point, never know when a four wheeler might jump 3 lanes for an exit, you don't need that freight smacking in the head hence the word headache rack.
