Who is who in our organization duties and responsibility's:

Ron J. Melancon Founder And President


One man, Ron Melancon, has almost single-handedly alerted America to the major problems with homemade utility trailers and the need for stricter safety laws. He has chronicled his determined campaign for all to see on www.dangeroustrailers.org. Mr. Melancon has spent countless hours researching trailers and uncovered that they are not required to be inspected, and trailers less than 3,000 pounds fall below Federal guidelines. Only those over 3,000 pounds require that reflectors be placed at the "extreme rear of the trailer." Upon learning these facts, he campaigned to make a change, but several large trailer companies lobbied for a watered down version of the new regulation. So Mr. Melancon decided to keep a log on his website of all accidents involving defective utility trailers. He will not give up until the overwhelming evidence make is enough for change.


Statement From Mr. Hayes:

I lost my son Corey two weeks ago today. I've seen a lot of posts from you and others about money and donations so I thought I would try to explain. First of all there has been no donations because we haven't asked for any. We are planning to start a funding page to use for lobbying to GET a law in SC. And to give scholarships in Corey's name. I can assure you that if any monies are raised they will go to the proper places. My wife and I will control the funds and will make decisions with the help of a board. I don't know you but I hope and pray that you never have to feel the pain of loosing your son. And hey please don't give if you don't feel lead. I hope to have your support in this effort,
