    Don't distract yourself by looking for the light switch. If it's not convenient to turn off/on, just let it go.
    We are (in theory anyway) professionals. We know when it's safe to get over without your help.
    Don't get me wrong, thanks for the thought, but I'd rather use my judgement especially if it causes you to not be concentrating on the road.

    You sound like one of them guys that went to a truck school advertised on TV and didn't learn how to use common sense and live on road rage. There are as many dumb a55 truckers who can't spell golden rule. SOBS try to pass each other on inclines and slow traffic down to 40mph. who can't keep their rigs and trailers in their own lanes swerving like a drunk ahole. light up their trucks like santa claus and blind you.. Some of us worked our 80 hours and are no enjoying our family time after missing our boys ball game, daughter's recital, time with our wifes. so if you can whine and cry about it go flip burgers.

    Tooling around ? We worked our 80 hour work week. We missed our kids ball games, recitals,plays etc to make our living. You can't handle your life then go flip burgers. Guess truckers are whiny little ##### boys now a days.

    What do you have against trucks that light up the night? Some of us are scared of the dark ######! 82C47002-0798-40A9-A75F-734A3597DD9F.jpeg

    I have a travel trailer now but am working my way up to a class a motor home. I figure if I buy my 50 gallons of diesel I get my free spot to park too. As far as I know if the truck stop doesn’t want rvs there they can say so.

    Although I do have a CDL, and at one time I thought I wanted to work a 70 hour week for $13/hr, I am an avid RVer. So I’m conflicted.

    The thought of taking up a parking space at a truck stop never crossed my mind. However, I pull into the rest areas and slide into those long, slanted spaces for trucks all the time.

    The only trucker who ever give me crap about it was a 400 lb homeboy wearing Lucchese cowboy boots and a pink tutu (with no panties on underneath), who introduced himself as “Big Luther.”

    I know he had no panties on because he did an arabesque, followed by an impossible, slow motion grand jute (l’accent aigu on the E).

    The 24 rapid succession pirouettes that knocked over trash receptacles and left summer sausage-shaped dents in the vending machines was all it took for me to abandon my family on the spot and become a Stevens Transport trainee.

    The last thing my wife of 26 years heard was, “mind if I dance wiff yo date?”
