I know I had read here somewhere to buy black T-shirts and clothing and to watch out for that greasy fifth wheel. Well one out of two ain't bad. Broke in my new black jacket today while learning how to do inspections properly. I just had to really climb in there to see my slack adjusters and to check for that bluing effect on the brake drum ( I always have to see). The other students did not wear black and were not able to wipe it off and blend it in like I was able to. I thought to myself " Man TruckingTruth has paid off on so many levels". Thanks Guys

Perhaps a chalky white would be in order for winter time? Blends in well with the road salt that coats the equipment.

That is not a bad Idea.

Sounds like a recipe for disaster. If another driver can't see you walking around in snow... No bueno!

Tell me about it, I was just out for my jog and a curb hugger about ran me over with his lights off after sunset. I normally run(so jog with spurts) in the day and stay up the middle if I get caught at night until they see me and move to the side. I know why they saw to walk/jog towards and ride with here in Texas. Been a while since I have screamed @#$% out loud.
