I don't think anyone bothers us anymore.
I've seen a few trucks roll though cajon with one headlight. Speaker speaks out and tell them to go to the truckstop and get it change. They just keep on rolling.
I've also seen a few roll through Utah scales and not one cop bothered me when my light was out for a couple of weeks. I had a wiring issue though.
Would you roll with a headlight out?

Not to mention the time spent driving not making any money to save your boss a buck. -
So now I have less hours to make money just to save the boss a few dollars, when he would not spend a few dollars on repairs as it's not a DOT issue, so doesn't need to be fixed....
If you were there shopping for yourself sure, but how often does that happen when a bulb goes out. And heaven forbid you want to buy a couple before they go out and have on hand for when you are in the middle of nowhere and one goes out....
Nope, in most places the boss treats me like a cog, so I'll act like one. Heck, if it did not benefit me I.e. I want to get rolling, I would not even change the light. Make roadside do it.
Now if I every heard of this mythical company that treated employees like humans it might be different. The best I found is they treat us like adults. Give us a task, we do it it, but they still refuse to fix anything that is not DOT related on the truck....
