Note: leaving aside that Optimus Prime is not a standard truck by any definition, quite a few semis haul many different varieties of trailer during their lifetime. An independent hauler might well have a headache rack just on the off chance that a load will be flatbed or log/pipe trailer.
Also- living in a major timber area- headache racks are standard for trucks using log trailers, which fold up over the fifth wheel when not loaded. The shaft connecting the front end of the trailer to the rear axles bends in two and rests on top of the headache rack. Just a side note, that.
