    The Last Time I ran the 95, I was pulling into a Coop right behind a Flatbed that was hauling those concrete forms for basements and whatnot. I had been seeing them for miles on the sides of the road but couldn't figure what the heck they were. This Turkey had 2 straps loose and they had just been sliding away. I called him on the CB and told and that jackwagon couldn't have cared less, but He did run out and cinch them up before He hit the scale. I scolded myself for an hour after that. I should have just let him hop on the scale with the straps hanging and the forms halfway off the truck.

    Mine is always on. May have the gain turned down, but if I pass a guy he will come through.
    I was dragging a OD sign off the back a few weeks ago. A grommet had pulled through and the sign was dragging the ground.
    Heaven only knows how many drivers saw it, until a freight hauler yelled at me on the CB and let me know. Kinda hard to tell when 14' wide!
    Needless to say, he got thanked quite a few times.

    I think all truckers should have theirs on.
