I'm sorry Joe I think I gave you the wrong link. I think this is the one that I had in mind that might have some articles about different types of driving jobs and what is involved in them. Trucker's Career Guide

Afternoon guys, I really appreciate all of the information that you have on here, and especially appreciate the free cdl training you have on here, but i have found one little issue. The question about Combination vehicles longer than 25 feet or wider than 80 inches (excluding mirrors, bumpers and other safety devices) must have special lighting and reflective equipment. Which of the following is NOT required: I marked no white reflectors, and when it brought up the passages that show the regs, it did not say anything about white reflectors in it.

Second division or combination vehicles longer than 25 feet or wider than 80 inches (excluding mirrors, bumpers and other safety devices) must have special lighting equipment. The following lighting equipment is required on vehicles operated outside the limits of cities, towns or villages between sunset and sunrise:

Two yellow or amber lights on the front of the vehicle. One light must be on each upper-front corner and visible for 500 feet. Three red lights on the rear of the vehicle in a horizontal line and visible for 500 feet. Two yellow or amber reflectors on the front of the vehicle. One reflector must be on each lower corner. Two red reflectors on the rear of the vehicle. One reflector must be not more than 12 inches from each lower corner.

Granted its is just 1 wrong question, but want to obtain verification in case it is on the FL test.

Thanks all Roger
