Night shift beginner

So I’m training intermodal with my current company I just transferred from another account. My question is how the hell do you see the trailer at night with no marker lights?? I’m slightly concerned with backing and right turns In pitch black areas I was even thinking about buying amber magnetic emergency lights to be on the safe side just in case. Im not trying to be dramatic but I also need to keep my job lol

 

thanks for the info man. I have been driving for three years With no incidents so I feel like I should be OK but it has me a little nervous

 

Well the amber lights on the side of the chassis is basically nonvisable. Also the marker lights on the chassis aren’t visible in the mirrors either. I didn’t mean they don’t have them at all. But when it’s pitch black and you are making a right hand turn it’s almost impossible to see

 

I was asking a simple question because the marker lights on an intermodal trailer are harder to see at night than your standard 53 foot trailer. It has to do with how to deal with the lack of visibility while making turns not the fact that I’m not paying attention or rushing
