Do you mean the 'bobbed' bumpers that have the ends cut off? If so, this was originally done in the 1970's. The theory was that the short bumper would not be bent back into the steer tires in the event of a collision with an animal.

I would think that not only the bumper going into the tire... But not having it the trucker is more likely to drive into something and right over it without knowing.

This would be very easy for a trucker to do, I know from Experience! I was sitting at a light and a big rig was in the left lane coming off of the interstate and decided to turn right. NO Turn signal. Needless to say his Right Front Tire was kissing my drivers door. When he decided to get out, he told me he was wondering why his truck wouldn't move forward! DUH!!! maybe because you were up against something?
