    In NY I am sure it has to do with being able to be seen from front and or side of the vehicle. I mean my LED tail lights can flash super fast(strobe), and not be a violation. YMMV :smt101

  3. I appreciate the input. Ya. Over the years been a bit more pissed off at how drivers don't see you. "Cause they don't care"

    I'm at a point to stop taking the calls for "on road drops"

    I installed 4 LED Lights with amber covers.
    It makes loading and unloading without using a flashlight in hand.

    Be safe guys. And Thank you

    It doesn't matter what you have for lights/color...we had a 19'W load being police escorted in IA about 8/9yrs ago...he got hit! Yes, even with the police escort!

    oh yeah, and he was stopped, waiting for the police to close the bridge. Car went around the cop and hit the load, nope, not kidding! (You can't fix stupid. Not with duct tape, a sign, or even red & blue lights)
     
    tsavory, Big Don, 281ric and 4 others Thank this.

    Cat 826.jpg These are not what one wants to haul every day................ However, it DOES pay to do what nobody else wants to. The CAT dealer was my big customer so I hauled these into their shop from 3 different landfills. The prongs of this type were not to hard on the deck, but the pointed ones, different story. I used 3 layers of conveyor belt for them. 14'6" wide, 15'6" high , aprox 37 tons.

    No I have been waiting on a response for 2 weeks.

    The first number had it going up by 15k but after a phone call and a recheck only going up about 3-4k

    On the puppy front, we went back to the vet today. Platelet count after a week of heavy drug treatment back in the normal range. So looking better for my girl! She has a ways to go though with ongoing drug treatment. She lost 7 lbs from last week so all is not well. But more hope today for a positive outcome
