So I’m training intermodal with my current company I just transferred from another account. My question is how the hell do you see the trailer at night with no marker lights?? I’m slightly concerned with backing and right turns In pitch black areas I was even thinking about buying amber magnetic emergency lights to be on the safe side just in case. Im not trying to be dramatic but I also need to keep my job lol

Its a feel kinda thing... You either have it or you don't. But that's just my opinion.

11 years driving - last 4 at night.
You get used to seeing your trailer through reflected light. If there’s not enough ambient light to do that, hit the lights on the back of your cab that are pointed towards the trailer.
Also, Don’t Rush - if you have any doubt about your clearance, hit your hazards, pop your brakes and get out and look.austinmike, D.Tibbitt, Coffey and 3 others Thank this. -
Work lights on your cab extenders pointing down the trailer for tight turns. Angle them out just a tad so you can see the landscape around you

Swing wide, and when backing G.O.A.L... good luck.

How is it in 23 yrs of hauling containers, I've not had these problems, what am I doing differently? Paying attention? Not rushing?
