RoadLites Featured in Fleet Maintenance Magazine at TMC 2026

From First-Time Exhibitor to Industry Spotlight

We’re proud to share that RoadLites was featured in Fleet Maintenance Magazine following our debut at the TMC 2026 in Nashville.

For a first-time exhibitor, this moment hits different. It’s not just about being seen—it’s about being recognized by one of the most respected voices in fleet maintenance and trucking.


What Fleet Maintenance Said About RoadLites

During their TMC 2026 recap, Fleet Maintenance highlighted our story, our roots, and what makes RoadLites different:

“Brother and sister Rafael and Angie Twardawa, co-founders of RoadLites, displayed several custom lighting options in their first time exhibiting at TMC.

They got the idea while visiting Poland, where their parents, Donna and Andrew are from.

‘We went to truck stops and trucking companies, and we wanted to see what trucking was like in Europe. And after being there, we saw how modern LED lights were and how big of a focus they’re putting on that. And we were just in awe,’ Angie said.

They started the business in 2022. RoadLites’ products, all made in Poland, are tested first at the duo’s trucking company, Angie’s Fleet.”

Built by Truckers. Proven in Real Life.

Before RoadLites ever hit a trade show floor, it was tested where it actually counts—on real trucks, in real operations.

At Angie's Transportation, our lighting systems were put through:

  • Night driving across multiple states
  • Tight backing situations at warehouses and truck stops
  • High-traffic yards where visibility is everything

Because we don’t believe in “lab-only” solutions. If it doesn’t work in the real world, it doesn’t make it to market.

The European Inspiration Behind RoadLites

The idea for RoadLites started overseas—but the problem it solves is everywhere.

When we visited Poland, we saw something the U.S. industry was missing:

  • Modern, high-visibility LED lighting
  • Full trailer contour visibility
  • A proactive approach to safety—not reactive

Back in the U.S., trailers often disappear at night. That’s the “Invisible Trailer Problem.”

RoadLites was built to change that.


Why This Feature Matters

Being recognized by Fleet Maintenance at TMC isn’t just press—it’s validation.

It means the industry is starting to pay attention to:

  • Proactive safety solutions
  • Visibility as a first line of defense
  • Innovation coming directly from fleets—not just manufacturers

And for us, it confirms what we’ve believed from day one:

👉 Better visibility = fewer accidents
👉 Lighting isn’t just aesthetic—it’s safety equipment


TMC 2026: Just the Beginning

TMC 2026 in Nashville was our first time exhibiting—but it’s far from the last.

We showed:

  • Trailer outline lighting systems
  • Side skirt lighting kits
  • Custom configurations built for real fleet needs

And the response?
Fleets, maintenance leaders, and industry professionals saw it immediately:

This isn’t just “pretty lights.” This is a safety upgrade.

Final Word

This is just the start.

RoadLites isn’t following the industry.
We’re helping redefine it.
