    Martin you sure sound happy. Finally trucking the way you like. With the equipment you like. It’s one sharp unit. I am happy for you. All that hard working is paying off. I would be mighty pround driving that unit. Love that squigly wiggly unit on the map. Great music, but then you always had great music. Well Martin and Alice thanks for posting. Have a great and a safe day, happy trails to you, D..

      Ive actually heard of more guys getting shit for having bright red ones facing back there or on the air cleaners. Because it’s a red light that’s more than 3 feet ahead of the rear of your vehicle. I’ve never had an issue with Amber.

    From what I've seen and read, please correct me if I'm wrong Martin. But only time you can be wrote up for tail lights, mudflaps or any rear facing lights on your bobtail is when you are bobtail. If you have a trailer on you can't be. I read that in the fmcsa handbook years ago. I also fought and won a ticket about 15 years ago over a mudflap and none functional tail lights cause I was hooked to a trailer when I was inspected. I remember in the fmcsa book all brake lights must be red tail lights red, auxiliary and turn lights red or amber.

    • @JohnHallgren
      @JohnHallgren 3 месяца назад +2

      Not trying to answer for TT but a solo owner/operator I know who works under his business partners authority has numbers on his truck and trailer that are his wife’s birthday and their anniversary date as shippers/receivers need some identifying numbers to track them in their system so not necessarily a fleet number.
