    You might get a Russian sub surfacing in one of these holes. Now whats with the guys who park and leave the headlights on ?

    Because they don’t want to get their trucks hit by someone who isn’t paying attention while parking-especially if the parking lot has very poor or no visibility/lighting.

    Sometimes that includes headlights but with some of these drivers nowadays,anything goes.

    I don’t know what it is but Swift and JB Hunt drivers are obsessed with parking next to our trucks for some reason or another!

    Thats what clearance lights are for. Leaving headlights on while trying to back in next to that truck only causes glare in your mirror and greatly reduces visibility. Only an idiot with no respect for other drivers parks and leaves headlights on. There is no justifiable reason for it. Back in the day, a baseball bat would cure that.

    You know that,I know that. But some of these other drivers don’t know that. And clearance lights is more for looking at the height of a vehicle when the driver parking is looking more at the sides.
