      You still have to be somewhat seen. Trailers virtually blend into the night with no lights and unfortunately cars will get cutt in half if we can't be seen (even behind a building). If I'm near a street i keep my lights on no matter what and I'm assuming that's why he does it to...

Just worried how I could ever receive or store enough entrees on the truck. So just curious about your experience. thanks 😊
