Another Interesting Gadget

Actually spoke to this guy in a TA in South Carolina this morning. Might be of interest to some.

Apologies, can't get the link to post right. Anyways, I thought it was an interesting idea. Says he hopes to have it in production within a couple weeks.

I would be worried if i saw someone with this thing...

$180 for some gigantic pole-kinda thing to tell you the light turned green? I don't see that goin anywhere.

I'm thinking, if you're a driver and can't see the green light flashing at the dock, you probably don't need to be driving.

Noob question here: So the stated reason for the device is to tell you when you are all loaded/unloaded and saves you time. If you are sleeping in your cab, will someone knock on the door rendering the device useless? Is the need to keep your eye on the light unnecessary? What am I missing that makes this so useless?

Most places will let you know when you're loaded/unloaded via phone call, person coming out to your truck, a device similar to what you would get at a restaurant waiting for a table, etc. I'm with Brett on this though. Yeah it might be handy to some but I agree the price tag is steep for a service most facilities provide for free.
