I drove Prostars for a long time and I can't remember if I could see my tandems when making a right turn.
But in the Cascadia. The big mirror shows the side of the trailer and I have to rely on the teeny convex mirror and the hood mirror when making a right turn,
In the dark, I can't see anything making a right turn, I just hope I don't hit anything, and hope if I do, me and no one else notices
How Fast?

My attempt at sarcasm.

I don't mind the hood mirrors, I only use those for a glance to clear the area near the cab. I don't like the square ones on the door though. The round ones were much better.

Back up until you hear carnage, destruction, or broken glass.

I have been hating on those Crapcadia Mirrors for as long as they have been out. All six the the mirrors suck majorly. Any company that puts those mirrors on a truck does not have my respect, I have bigger and better mirrors on my one ton pickups.
I glad to see those that agree with me. Their are times I complain about the Crapcadia mirrors to other drivers and they just retort how much they love the truck. Like a new truck really does it for them. WTF, your job is using the mirrors to drive that trailer; Why would you settle for that substandard crap.Dave_in_AZ, tucker and Lepton1 Thank this. -
Im just glad to have fender mirrors, most important mirrors on the truck.
Last company didnt have them and wouldnt install them, even at my cost.
Trailers could use some cornering lamps at the rear, for night driving.
I always corner super wide at night, to prevent getting my picture on twisted truckers. -
Here is someone's attempt at the same bollard. I guess they wanted to finish the job. Same driver perhaps?

That driver either needs a longer running start or get a truck with proper horsepower.
misterG, Steel Dragon, Big Don and 2 others Thank this. -
You hopped in your truck and gave her a go huhDave_in_AZ Thanks this.

That thing is so F big is what gets me. It's an 8" steel pipe filled with concrete, concreted ( well it was ) into the ground. I mean that's a thud.
It gets better. The chain I deliver for has opened a new store. They have a 6" in a very bad spot, that's probably only been there for a few weeks. It's been hammered hard once already lmfao, saw it today, and it's been tagged probably 2 or 3 other times.x1Heavy, Toomanybikes, Badmon and 2 others Thank this.
