    Those lights have natural reflective backing in the area required though.

    The reason I asked in the first place, is the green book shows two spots that need reflection in the back - cab corners, and mudflap bracket.

    ...but if there is no bracket, there's no reflector. Like everything else in this business, it's going to be up for interpretation. I'm taking mine off and using the temp type only when bobtailing.

    Yeah, but there's a tire that can get ran into. Look here at the book. 13/14 are reflective tape. 8 is lights and reflex reflector.

    It was me! I paid for it alright though. I had a receiver who closed at 6. I had 40 minutes cushion. I was going to splash in 50 gallons. Then he inspected me and burned 30 of those minutes. Now I had a dilemma. Get fuel and not unload, and miss my reload, or go for it running the risk of running out. I chose the latter and ran out!

    I found out what it felt like to carry the 35 pounds I lost 0.8 miles.
