    It about the same for me.. Of course I got a sack full of lights for the tail lights and turn signal lights, belly lights. I buy a lot of them and scan them in for reimbursements. About $80 or so. That way I don't have to call in everytime. Just switch out and I'm on my way.

    Edit: only real issues I've had that I couldn't fix myself is a marker light and tires gone pretty bad.

    Man ya'll must be following right behind me and grabbing my empties... In 2014 alone I've had 11 air leaks (bad hoses/fittings/leveling valves/brake chambers), 3 ABS malfunctions (2 of which were hidden by a disconnected abs light), a welded & re-cracked frame (that might have been in december), 2 malfunctioning auto-adjusters (which road service wouldnt fix -- only manually adjust), a bad tire, a newly-replaced DOT bumper that was missing reflex tape, 3 dangling mudflaps (stop backing all the way into curbs people!), & I can't count how many lower lights & light pigtails I've replaced.

    Plus 2 trailers with non DOT-stuff: 1 broken/missing floorboards & 1 a mangled rub rail...

    Sitting at the West Memphis terminal and I really wonder about some of these drivers, watch one driver walk in to turn in paperwork and his pants we hung below his butt, come now I know you make enough money to buy a belt, another driver walking around in some thin basketball short and certain body part was swinging( it wasn't something I nor probably anyone else want to see) please buy some undies. I guess some people don't care how they look, I'm not the best dress but at least I make sure I'm covered and clean.

    CM, you know these drivers would be naked if they could. Standards have gone away in this new age of acceptance and tolerance.

    Yep, auto-inflators too. If you see a white line shining in your driver's side mirror there is a problem with the inflation system (probably leaking tire). Scratched my head for quite a while before figuring that out...

    Well thanks for the heads up on that. I saw the light fitting, though didn't think of what it might be for.
