You're right Tex. And even more so because I've always had a backup alarm on semis. They were leases from Penske and Ryder and I always insisted on one - anything to avoid fender benders. The only real reason I pause (besides the fact that I still have tons of work to do to get this truck and me ready for the road), is that the feds are currently studying requiring straight trucks to have a round mirror mounted on a rear corner like ups trucks do. Maybe I should do that when I get a chance and not worry about the backup alarm.
