    Lately, I've been seeing guys run lights, flags, and banners for only 4 ft rear overhang.

    1 guy has his whole hood opening flashing yellow. Blocking off air flow to the radiator.

    It was loaded...he was running at night for the NSA's new single seat stealth aircraft project...he was doing a test run to see if it worked, but did it at night so no one would see it in case the system crashed.

    I don’t run a rgn, when I put signs on my steps I kick a load leveler to the back n put the sign acrosst it. Gives it good spot to set, don’t block nothin, can bungee it up real nice.

    But if the trailer is going to have OS on it, then it should be prepped to do it correctly. If your an OO and you elect to do OS then it’s up to you to prep your trailer. If a company driver, it’s up to you and dispatch to have the shop prep the trailer. Or, you can just stay away from OS. Simple as that.
