Yeah, but does it make your balls tingle?

I run with my markers on during the day becasue in my truck it's easier to give a courtsey flash that way (high beams dont flash) and I ALWAYS drive with my headlights off at night, that way the bears dont see me

Thumbs up

I run headlights/fog lights 24/7.

Occasionally a BBR will say something to me about that. Well BBR doesn't run the country/city routes that I do, so it is absolutely none of his business.

About 6 weeks ago, an owner-op fuel hauler friend of mine had an accident on Indiana 26 outside of Kokomo in the cornfields. A car pulled out right in front of him. The driver's response "I didn't see you." (my friend, driving a white Freightliner, did not have headlights or fog lights on, and this was smack in the middle of Indiana corn fields. (straight out of Children of the Corn:lol

My bet? If he would have had these lights on, this accident might well not have happened.

So, to the next BBR running a "hot load" of generic paper table napkins to some DC in the middle of nowhere. I offer this..........Drive your own truck and I will do the same. When you have 8500 gallons of gasoline rolling back and forth behind you like I do every day............then we will discuss it.

Until then.............let's just all be safe..............
