    Nope.

    I usually wear high vis pocket t's, though. The fluorescent green ones are more visible at night than orange safety vests.

    I wear it when I'm on the pulled off the road and certain shippers/receivers and truck stops. You can't be too careful, but unfortunately, a vest isn't going to make a difference if someone isn't paying attention.

    If a safety vest enables you to feel more secure and safe .. so be it.. I give the tiny company issues to safety vestless drivers if i have any

    I wear them when required by a shipper or receiver. It won't be long before either the insurance companies and/or the government will require them to be worn all the time anyway.
