Don't drive around yards with your 4way flashers active

Four way flashers are for alerting of various situations like; backing up, being stopped temporarily where people need to go around you, being stopped on the side of the road, emergency stops on the roadway, going slow on the roadway, etc. They are for showing situations other than normal driving or forward travel.

When you use your four ways for regular driving in yards, you lose the ability to notify those around you of such events noted above. I've actually been to one yard that had a sign that everyone should have four ways on at all times. Nobody knew what anybodies intentions for due to the loss of meaningful use of four ways. It was turmoil. Thankfully I've only been to one place like that.

Don't be that guy driving through a yard with your four ways on.

 

You don't need 4ways for that, just an ###-hat.

 

Well, I guess I'll have to adjust my attitude if I ever want to make my secret desire to run intermodal come true.

 

I just run reefer, but there are times I would like to have that setup! After 7 or 8 hours of waiting, it could serve as something to let them know I'm still alive. Maybe a PA to with it. I could be obnoxious enough they would try to get me out asap.
