trucker hand signals

[ebsprintin]

May need some help from old timers on this one. Does anyone know the hand signal for smoking/hot brakes? I know the middle finger sign and the sign for flat tire, but today I needed the smoking brake signal for an unsuspecting smoker.

How many drivers would remember it if they saw it? Probably just about none. 5% of all the drivers on the road? Less maybe?

That's what I would think, but the two times I signaled a flat the drivers knew exactly where to look when they saw me signaling. They didn't look at me stupid-like, they looked straight at their mirrors and their wheels, and a thank you in return.

I would hope he could see them smoking with all the mirrors and at nite the red flames would sort of b an indication, u think.
