    I have noticed every now and then at night, that there are some van or reefer trailers that have a single blue LED light on the top rail of the trailer about the middle of the trailer. Does anyone know why it's there?

    I also noticed this when at thorntons tuck stop in lincoln illinois a few days ago. I thought anything other than orange red or white was illegal as hell. Only reason I can think of them havin them is maybe back in the old days gully had a blue light on their trailers to identify themselves from others and perhaps they were grandfathered in to still be allowed the blue marker light when laws were changed i dont know. thats why im bumping this thread.

    I drove for them back a couple of years. Not all of the trailers had the light then. Only the newer ones.

    No one ever said anything as to why.
