    I was watching the village idiot beating the hell out of his backup alarm because it would not shut off. Finally the "captain" put a end to my entertainment and told him to shut off his utility lights:D

    Companies that have beepers have absolutely no consideration for fellow drivers sleep. Surprised that they are even legal to begin with . All of the other drivers getting woken up in the middle of the night and then expected to be well rested on the road the next day . No way would I drive for a company that has them . Makes me wonder about the drivers themselves when I encounter a beeping trailer . They do have a lot of other companies to choose from that don't have them .

    No Canadian rule on beepers that I know of ... it’s mostly a mega and rental company thing from what I see...

    When i had to install one..i hooked it to a switch. Then i could turn it off & on at my discretion . Why annoy everyone while they are resting. But then again we have " jake brake jacka##" that thinks he soooo cool. I think sometime i am gonna hook a chain or rope onto their "cool" exhaust and drive off into the night.

    I just love listening to one of those while I’m backing down a dead end road for 2 miles. :rolleyes:

    According to a thread that video was posted on right here on TR, that driver was suffering a stroke. Seems that could be the case to me.

    Most people just seem aroused at the sight of someone having a worse day than themselves.

    Warning all the wildlife. Squirrels, deer etc. Oh never mind they know how to get out of the way anyhoo. Well most of the time, at least when your in reverse. Imagine that piggly wiggly dude backing that far?
