  I thought the industry was moving away from black aerials? Wouldn’t it make it difficult to detect hydraulic leaks or cracks in the aerial?

  What i meant is that the std light packages on trucks now are more than enough that the striping on the side should not be more than for looks

  Yeah I agree–no way you could miss this BEHEMOTH.
  What do you mean when you say the lights are nothing special, hmark? It seems to be decked-out in LEDs in all the standard places for a truck…?

  I saw it responding on Tuesday lights are nothing special

  With lights, you wont miss this thing regardless of the color striping

  Is this truck in service yet?

  I doubt that makes a significant difference anyway. School buses are required to be yellow yet dumb dumbs still manage to crash into them.

  Does anyone know if the “dark” stripe is as effective a reflective material as White? Is the relective measure more the material than the color?
  Is there a study?

  Nice! I’m noticing a move away from any trace of white these days.
