Narrative:
Cleared runway 10L pdx at taxiway A2. Right turn on taxiway A2, then right turn onto taxiway a. During turn sequence, caught light box on right truck assembly between the 2 tires on right main landing gear. Nothing noticed by cockpit crew. Maintenance inspection revealed light box fixture in front of right truck assembly. No damage to aircraft. Was not on centerline of taxiway. Mental fatigue was a factor after long transcontinental flight. Sloppy steerage to gate led to problem.
