help for the road

I just bought a sheet set from walmart for 3 bucks, its a plain white one and never falls off. Also did you know that dot requires white sheets so you can see if your getting carbon monoxide inside the truck?

 

Is that really why?

You see, I was told that it was in case y'all happen on a crash scene, and bandages are needed.
Although, if I were a victim of a crash, I doubt I'd care WHAT color my bandages were. However,
I might be concerned about how clean they were.

Judging from the dirty appearance of SOME drivers, I think I'd prefer to take my chances and do without the bandages.

 

I have yet to find any regulation that says white sheets are required.

 

That's one I've never seen nor heard anything about either.

 

When I was first attending driving school it was brought up and presented as one of the more curious laws that were on the books.
It was also explained that the law required that the bunk be made after sleeping in it.
I guess that's so it would be obvious y'all weren't driving and sleeping at the same time.

It was also explained that it was no longer enforced.
I don't know if it's still a law now, or not.
One way or the other, I never paid any attention to it.

It's like one city that still has a law against beating a mule to death on a public street.
Google crazy laws sometime for a good laugh.

 

Same thing when I was in school. They said to watch going through Connecticut, because the DOT would come out from the scale house and check sometimes. I actually bought a set and kept them in the original package in case.

 

Why not just a battery operated carbon monoxide detector?




......wonders why they aren't required in all trucks with sleepers.......after all there is a chance of CO poisoning. Of course with idling laws, it's not gonna be such a worry now huh?




Better hush before the "powers that be" see this post and try to inforce it! :-0

 

YeAH!
Now-a-daze, I'm not even sure having a thermometer to look at is a good idea.

"Enforce" what?

 

There's no such law. The old folklore was that you had to have white sheets in case of an accident & needed to wrap a body.

 

The carbon monoxide detector.
