    So I'm seeing so many cool things out on the road at night.

    Two nights ago I got passed up by a fast moving Ward Trucking, truck from Altoona, PA. Now normally me getting passed up isn't worth of a post, my truck pulls a heavy load and I just huff and puff along.

    Anyhow, this Ward truck I saw the driver had installed this cool green solid burn LED light bar on the dashboard and it was like the same shade of green Ward has all there trucks painted and then he had (2) LED solid burn green marker lights on either side of the truck, on the outside of the cab. They were pretty cool looking. I know back in the day guys would take different colored lights and put them on the dash board so there friends on the CB could see them coming the other way.

    I still see that from time to time. I don't have a CB because I'm just a rental road driver,but every now and then I'll see a truck with a colored strand of LED lights on the dashboard.
