    I just need something to work. I've got strobes in the backs of my trailers. I'm not worried about that. Just needed an opinion

    That's a risk I'm willing to take.

    I've never had a problem with Florida, they also have some goofy law about the size and shape of the strobes on the truck too.

    If you followed everyone's rules you'd have 50 different combinations of lights and flags and signs. Screw that. If someone wants to write a ticket over a flashing light on the back of the trailer. So be it.

    Florida has put me OOS for not having a 360 degree light on the trailer. I thought strobes would be plenty, they thought otherwise.

    If I remember they took $106 from me and also made me get a light, luckily my pilot had a spare mini bar.

    Man, I bought some of those that mount with suction cups to the inside of my windshield. Those along with the lights on the back of my trailer do the job quite nicely. I know not all want to go that route but it works for me since I have a Taylor Wing on top.
