Truck Safe

Backup and cargo security system for class 8 trucks, tractor/ trailer. There's currently no laws requiring backup systems for these trucks, but badly needed.  According to a market research report, that was done on my behalf, the following was noted.  One of the most preeminent problems for truck drivers is the difficulty of looking in the side mirrors and maneuvering while backing up or crossing lanes. And even though by law, every vehicle sold in the US by 2018 has to have a backup camera for safety reasons, trucks are exempt. And in the tragic situations where the trucker misses a spot and gets into an accident, not only are lives at risk, but also thousands of primordial goods.  On the other hand, truckers face a variety of road-related crimes. In recent years, there has been a worrying increase not only in truck and cargo thefts and incidents of smash-and-grab but also seen the much more organized crime of truck hijacking. This, without a doubt, presents a unique and difficult challenge and loss to manufacturers, suppliers, logistics, and transportation providers. Because of the uncertainty and guesswork truckers face while backing up and parking, thousands have developed anxiety and stress, accompanied by other serious illnesses linked to stressful situations. Moreover, due to losses and truckers' safety, truck companies need to know where the trucks are and be aware if the trailer is opened when it shouldn't be. Therefore, it's evident the market implores an innovative solution to aid truckers and make transporting goods by land more accessible, harmless, and secure. Analysis: currently there's no company worldwide that has tackled this issue. Every year there's millions of dollars being spent by insurance companies over damages caused by backing over fixed objects. This is damage to customers as well as damage to the truck and trailer. This damage is not hard to see if you look for it. There's a big reason why big distribution centers have a lot of concrete surrounding the buildings, as you have the concrete to turn out, straighten out and then back straight into the loading dock. However, most normal businesses do not have the area available to you, so you, as the driver, can back straight into the loading dock. You have to "jack" the trailer into the loading dock. If your lucky, you'll be able to do a driver side backup; however, you sometimes have to do a blind backup because of the way the companies loading docks are setup. The problem that a solo driver has is not having eyes to watch your blind side while backing up. Yes, you can get out of the truck and look, but there's no guarantee you won't damage something. The other big problem is cargo theft. Millions of dollars a year of cargo is stolen out of trailers. Most of the stolen goods is never recovered. Their would be a trailer backup, GPS, and camera system mounted inside the trailer. This system would be connected to the tractor via Bluetooth/Wi-Fi and operate via solar panels mounted on the roof of the trailer. The unit would also have a battery backup. The unit would be equipped with high resolution cameras, to monitor the cargo, as well as GPS, so the company knows exactly where there trailer is at all times. As far as myself, I was a service technician, most of my adult life. I serviced office equipment, copiers, and worked in the computer field for over 25 years. I drove class 8 trucks for five years and still currently have my CDL, although I stopped driving commercial trucks when COVID hit.
