Back in the mid 90's when I was still a company driver the carrier was sending a truck to the auction 250 miles away. I was the driver chosen to get it there because it was most likely to get there with a gentle driver as it was a bit sick. To make some money they sent me down with a set of trains and a token load of about 10000 lbs, just enough to pay for the fuel.

I got to the first brake check of three about 1/2 hour before it got dark and all the tail/cl lights were out on the back trailer. I played with the plugs, cord, checked the fuses, I even dropped the back trailer so I could look around the plate and see if there was a hanging wire that got broken. Nothing worked so I put it back together and used the 4 ways to get to the next brake check and went to bed for the night. Woke up in the morning and everything worked and continued to work all the way to the terminal 3 hours away. JOOTT
