    QUESTION:

    :biggrin_2558:


    I've been driving for over 20 years and aside from my old 71 Chevy Custom, I've never driven a vehicle with weaker headlights than my FL. Is this something you all experience in your trucks? Or, should I have the shop check/replace? Just don't want to waste shops time if it's something that is normal with FL.

    Went to that TS when I was in school, Southern Ca waste land...

    Make sure you stay out of the back lot, behind the wheel trainer said you can catch viruses just by walking through the party section.....:biggrin_25513:

    Unless that's your thing...:biggrin_2559:

    Watch out for Security, I believe they do double duty as in house Pimps for the independent contractors working the back (party) lot....:biggrin_255:

    My instructor had 27 years driving experience OTR, so I take him at his word on that dump.:biggrin_25521:

    I can't believe you'd pay the $20 (or spend it there) to smell that place for 34 hours? Seriously AT, that place has a funky stink to it, aside from all the transient traffic.

    your "trainer" is outdated. Back in the day that was relevent to the back row at allot of truck stops....noadays it isnt relevent anywhere.

    I'm in the very back row 597 trucks closer to the doors of the building then me....


    I've stayed at every "bad" and "dangerous" truck stop in the country that i've ever heard of, i've never had a problem. Never seen a lot lizard, people trying to sell crap go away as soon as you say no, they're broke they dont have time to argue.

    Most if not all big truck stops smell like piss or trash, you'll get used to it.


    $12 per shower 2 nights here = $24 right there plus food/drinks....plus all the stuff W/S will reinburse me for i didnt spend any more or less then i would anywhere else.

    I saw a WS truck on NASA Rd 1 in Webster, Tx (near SE Houston) this afternoon.

    Don't see them much around here.

    Mine work great. Nice and bright. If yours aren't get the shop to look at them. They should clearly shine out 300 feet to be dot legal.

    Sent from my EVO
     
    RonPaul2012 Thanks this.

    Thanks, that's what I kind of thought.

    If there aren't other cars going the same direction, I can't see without brights on.
