    I love them. Is there a super loud one I can get? so the entire truck stop can know when I’m backing.

    Just paint your truck up in the lettering of one of the megas

    And the whole truck stop will be watching you and placing bets who's truck you will hit first

    No seriously if you wanted to be super loud go to a junkyard and find one off of an ambulance

    Or find one for heavy equipment that runs in a quarry doing mining

    I have mine hooked directly to the train horns.

    It takes me about 25 minutes to line up a straight line back, and I have to stop and let the tanks air up about 30 times.

    I’ve no idea why people pull my fifth wheel or urinate on my truck when I’m not around.

    Safety first!!

    Many times safety people don't have any common sense. HOS says rest is so important, but another safety guy puts a backup beeper on the trucks and wakes a whole bunch of drivers. These are meant for day cab city deliveries.

    When I first started driving, a safety guy made me take the GPS off the dash and mount it down near the cup holder. I need not say any more.

    Another truck I drove had a large safety sticker covering 1/3 of my west coast mirror.


    Brilliant!

    Just use your air horn, but you need to back slower so that you can concentrate. Since it is all in the name of safety the drivers sleeping around you will all understand completely.
