Amber light bar on bumper?

I assume the truck belongs to them and your just one of those guys who wants to use your paycheck and deck out their truck.

If that is the case then the shop manager has the authority to take your amber light off. Regardless of whether or not it is legal or illegal I would just take it off. You dont want other drivers pissed off at you over a light.

I used to drive a mixer and I seen other drivers using a spotlight they bought at Walmart for when they needed to see.

 

Legality isn't the main issue here. Your shop wants the light off. Don't aggravate the shop.

 

The GA amber light permit is to avoid needing a pilot car on some of the smaller oversized loads. It allows you to substitute a beacon light in place of a pilot car. Basically it’s BS.

 

get a 12V spot light. plug it in and then take it home.

 

Georgia is weird, unless they have changed it is illegal not to have covers on your beacons in georgia. They probably have a permit for them too, I never needed one there though.

 

This is what the Georgia dot told me..No permit for flashing ambers is $350 and the truck driver is responsible for the escort vehicle not having a permit so $700 to the truck driver. Thank you mister DOT man for not making my wallet lighter.

 

Don't ask us. Go talk to your boss. Explain why you want it. Explain that the shop foreman wants it off, but you do not understand why, since it seems to be legal.

In the end, it's going to be the top of your company food chain that makes the call.

EDIT: Be polite and respectful. Don't bad-talk the shop.
