That is true, some of this same stuff was happening years ago and has only gotten worse as more and more trucks get on the road.

I agree. Why drive with no headlights in the TS? Are you going to blind someone in their sleeper?

No, but it is common courtesy to turn the lights off if someone is backing up so to not blind them

That's a completely different situation.

cclarke1268,

I agree, I absolutely love the job I do, But I have to admit that I am getting more and more disturbed by what I am seeing.

And oh yeah, Add speeding through the pumps as one of the no-nos.

I turn on my headlights in a TS but turn them off when someone is backing. Also as a courtesy and a safety factor, when someone is backing next to you , turn on your marker ligths to guide them and not to hit you.

I agree. Any time I am parked at night with my truck running, I leave my marker lights on to aid any drivers parking beside me.

During the day, I drive with my lights on. If I do signal a driver who's just passed me and starts looking to get back into my lane, I hit the brights until he puts his turn signal on. I've found that many drivers appreciate that....

Something that drives me crazy is this.....on freightshakers (not all, but most), there is a switch marked as "roadlamps" basically these are white foglights, but many drivers have them on as well as their headlights. Just because 4 wheelers use them is no need for drivers to use them....they blind people. Also, some trucks lights come automatically as soon as they release their brakes and even shutting them off at night to let a driver know that he is clear dosen't work....thats why some drivers flash their high beams. The manufacturers think this is a good safety device like the 4 wheelers have, not realizing its not, but they never spend the hours behind the wheel that we do.
