It's as asphault apron, it prevents the hot mix from damaging the rear of teh truck while dumping into the paving hopper. we use those a LOT here in Washington state for our paving projects. Ours have rubber sides, instead of metal, so they will flex a bit, if they encounter an obstacle, rather then tear up the apron.
