So I’m bored and I’ve been going through cheap ### led flash lights.
So I went and bought this... $60. It’s got a 30 day money back guarantee. It’s rechargeable because I’m sick of listening to batteries roll around in my trucks little office drawer. I hope it doesn’t suck.

I don’t know how good their rechargeable lights are,but “coast” makes a good quality light that’s easy on batteries. I have one that uses 1aa battery it was less than $20 and battery lasts over a year. Sold at Home DepotBigBob410, Feedman, MagnumaMoose and 2 others Thank this.

HEY Mr. I left that truck stop in Laramie at 5 am central time.... I knew there would be some black ice and some fog from there to Cheyenne.... The electronic sign showed 45 mph speed. It was a slow and steady run all the way to near Cheyenne....
Saw only one or another truck on the road.... and passed by a parking area full with trucks.... Saw a small straight truck on its side on the median on the westbound....
Kept going... slowly but surely.... with an eye on my RPMs and another on my speed.... good thing I was kinda heavy...
I can drive a standard transmission on patches of ice but an automatic....
Not sure....

From Cheyenne to Denver, CO the road was all pretty good.... dry and no traffic jam....

The day was pretty beautiful and sunny today on the road.... Now I'm parked at a service plaza in KS... taking my 34...

Unfortunately that would all depend on how the company sets up the truck. If they allow you to use "Manual mode" and lock it in a gear you will do fine. If they are of the opinion the truck knows more than the driver and blocks that option you will be out of luck.BigBob410, homeskillet, Feedman and 3 others Thank this.

Flash lights... I have a collection.... Also tried the rechargeable ones... but after a while, their charge wouldn't last long and then they wouldn't take any charge at all.... or would "behave" out of control...
So, I am back to buying batteries... but have to replace them constantly... they don't last very long....
homeskillet, MagnumaMoose and lovesthedrive Thank this. -
The automatic trucks in my company have the manual option... And drivers use that when going down hill or driving on snow and things like that... Me... I may use that manual most of the time....homeskillet, Feedman and lovesthedrive Thank this.
