    every single time he comes in we ask him to kindly turn his high beams off as we're on the graveyard rotation. He just doesnt GAF as it seems that the mentality of the entire continental express fleet, and thats also why two of their drivers dropped trailers leaving our lot, aint got no time for tug tests.

    I guess if I was always driving towards the sun I’d love having one. I actually drove with my sun visors flipped down for a couple of hours after I posted that the other day, just to see how it’d feel having a permanent visor like that, and no thanks. :cool:

    If it were a safety concern, car haulers would not be allowed to carry a car over the hood. I have never seen a chrome visor that would block visibility more than the top of a car hauler.

    Now they have these green/yellow lights . No wonder why my vision is fading away... This was on a box truck out in cali. And of course he just sat beside me forever i had to hit the brakes and let him go so i could regain my vision.. ####in ridiculous 20250128_200156.jpg

    Many people want to be the only people who can see out there sometimes

    Sleepers with curtains that cover the side windows and windshield if they choose to use them.
    I might look out and see some headlights on in front of me, but I had to actually look out to see it after moving the curtain aside.
    So why do people keep bringing this up? It is nothing.

    I’m sorry but if you do this, you are a lazy ####head. It’s a good bet one can easily spot the perpetrators of this stupidity inside the truck stop building by how they’re dressed. :rolleyes:

    I won’t even leave my lights on when I’m parked in the yard waiting for bills, or when I’m waiting for someone to back in so I can get past.

    depending where I’m parked, I might leave my clearance lights on, but never my headlights.
