    dtalbott Driving somewhere, hauling something.

    Some places, yes. My rule is between 10 and 15 mph below the posted limit, my flashers go on. I try and let the bugs know my speed is down.

    But Mongo said flashers tell you a semi trailer is backing up. Are you driving backwards below the speed limit? :Poke:

    Going slow enough to look like I'm backing up.

    If you're in a car a slow semi uphill is going backwards :D

    Shot my mouth off and forgot about the mtn. climbing flashers,and that's another place to put them blinky things on and hope
    no one ass packs you..
    I also run them on every yard I enter,and I'm kind enough to just run my parking lights when backing in,so as not to blind people.

    In FL having your hazards on while moving is illegal. Otherwise how can you tell who's moving vs pulled over and not moving..

    Florida doesn't have hills....

    If I'm doing 35mph and you're doing 70, you probably approciate a heads up that I'm going slow AF. No laws needed, it's common sense.

    The people that need to be kicked in the dick are the ones that put their hazards on in the rain, while still driving in left lane.

    Bingo.. I'm very appreciative to the guys that give warning on the hwy but the left hand lane in the rain peeps should be shot on sight

    Unless it is an owner/operator, most of the company trucks are limited at around 65 mph. Just figure we are always slow.

    Bribe them. Use Christmas as an excuse.
    A nice bottle of something and you'll be getting speeding tickets in no time.

    These guys are more of the bag of something,but I catch your drift.
    I think if I harass them a few times a week,and keep interrupting the facebook phone time,they might cave.
    Hell,I'm still trying to get my a/c fixed from all summer of write ups.
    They have done EVERYTHING,but replace the compressor,which is what I told them from day 1 was the issue.
    I need to get a real job!

    If bribery won't work, go with threats. Use something that sounds threatening but won't get you in trouble.
    You get that shit fixed or I'll turn your green beans into squash, buddy!

    If you are not comfortable, you are not safe. With that thought, fixing the AC becomes a SAFETY issue.

    Put that in writing, let your fleet manager know. That should bump priority.

    Just had the most dumbest conversation with a guy. He is so excited about the Tesla truck that hes convince that we will be driverless in cars and semis in 10 yrs. Ha haha. On top of that he thinks it will eliminate, d.o.t, insurance, dispatchers, all that stuff. Lol. God that was good.

    We were all supposed to having flying cars years ago.
    Probably for the best, can you imagine the accidents?
