    And for inside the trailer and around the truck, I suggest those "headlights".. led, battery powered, you get light where your looking and you're less likely to run it over or lose it.. cause its on your head! lol

    If you're backing up to a dock plate you can stick it on the plate or just stick it on your trailer. don't point it at yourself, point it towards the ground. Works awesome. The hardest part is not to forget it!

    Yeah..I must have lost a dozen of different flashlights by simply forgetting about them. The last one I left on... a drive tire. The last before the last...I smashed with the hood. LOL

    Flashlight was on the ground pointing back towards dock and doh. Rookie mistake. I now find that using brake lights are enough.
