sorry Flash , it won't happen again. LOL
was it really 3 Crete's in a row? Maybe that's why it's called tripleC!

Yeah, but what a great marketing approach. Any product that claims to reduce any effort on the part of the driver is bound to gain interest.

If the mirror is used in conjunction with GOAL, I don't think it would be a bad thing.

yes he did, 7 times to be exact. get off your ass and look.

while that helps to see on the far side, it does nothing for his near side. that sound you hear is the back corner of his trailer peeling open the next trailer like a can of cat food.

Yesterday, I found myself in a situation where I was blindsiding, and I thought I'd give this "mirror" thing a try. I lowered my passenger visor, which has a small mirror in it. While I was able to see the trailer for a few seconds, I found myself having to repeatedly adjust the mirror to keep the trailer edge in view. Eventually, I couldn't see it at all. At the angle the trailer was in relation to the truck, it was extremely difficult to judge "depth perception", and I kept overcorrecting.

It would be easier to GOAL, in my opinion.

you gonna keep hearing it GOAL. yeah is time consuming , but so is filing accident report. anytime anyone says anything to me i just look them in the eyes and tell them i am a rookie and this is my first time ever blind side backing. this usually gets me a lot of help, but, still i GOAL.
