    Wonder how many points a trailer tail being out is? I'm waiting to get it looked at. I can not find the bad ground. And I've replaced the light. The trailer has 3 on each side. And it's the right inside most light with is just marker, and brake I think.

    That's nothing. I guess I'll just sit here waiting for my turn. This critical load is just going to suffer.

    We call that a dollar waiting on a dime. Be sure and let the customer know the FMCSA has priority !

    Maybe I could just put some cardboard over the right and left inside lights and call it good? Hmmm?
