    Not that I know of. I figured it would be a strict “no modification policy”

    What's the point in driving around with that on?

    I suppose it is for us rookie drivers. For super truckers they're apparently intended to leave on all the time so you can drive around and look cool. :rolleyes:

    Behind the cab? I use these lights to check my air and electrical lines and the fifth wheel. It’s very distracting to leave them on while driving especially in a day cab. Different colors? That’s just a plastic cover over the bulb. You can get them easily. Go get em super duper trucker.

    It's staying busy, and running every day, so no complaints here.

    We’re starting to slow down a little. There may have been a rate adjustment on our end.
