Moose alert! Way’s Transport, a local trucking company in Western Newfoundland, Canada, lent its resources recently to National Geographic (NG) for a video shoot. NG was looking for video footage of moose in the Northern Peninsula, where collisions between trucks and moose are common.
“Moose racks” can help to reduce vehicle damage from such collisions.
Moose accounted for 3,400 vehicle crashes in Maine from 2000 to 2004, according to the Center for Disease Control: here’s a detailed article.

In late spring, moose are drawn to roads for the salt left there by vehicles.
