Episode 340: The team at SSR Lighting was encouraged to look into options for interior trailer lighting after safety concerns from companies like Ford. After trial and error and thinking through obstacles like forklift strikes, extreme weather, and batteries that can’t sit for months unused, they now have a great product that can light up the inside of any trailer.

In our That’s Not Heavy Duty segment we talk about another kind of lighting, custom truck lighting, some of which is against the law. Tell us what you think, should truckers be allowed to customize their trucks in this way, and should authorities just ignore custom lighting?
