Must-Have for Truck Drivers - Dock Watch Changes the Game

[@dockwatch6607]

We appreciate the comments! We know that Dock Watch will not work at every location and will not be a benefit for every driver. However, it has been our experience with over 80 years of driving under our belt that this is a situation that plagues drivers. We sit in the drivers seat and stay at the mirror or lay over the steering wheel or lay in the bunk with one eye open. That is not quality rest for anyone. This device alleviates a driver having to do that. To answer some of the question: In reality it takes a driver about 30 seconds to set up the device. Unless you know it’s there, another driver will have a real hard time seeing it hanging on the light and try and steal it. It will notify you if you pull away and forget it. We know that this device is not cheap but we have made the decision to have it produced in the United States and not China. We know some drivers have been doing this for a long time but why deal with it if you don’t have to?

[@donmunro144]

@dockwatch6607 it's really a good idea. I wish it had been around when I was pulling vans. But back then, cell phones were huge and didn't have apps.

[@pittste88]

you mentioned theft, is there some kind of warrenty if it is stolen?

[@dockwatch6607]

@@pittste88, we have had no issues with theft. Other drivers don’t even know it is on the light but there are 2 safeguards. The app will notify you if there is movement detected from the device and also if the device breaks Bluetooth connection with your phone.

You can occasionally check that mirror that comes from factory. Or, spend money on a silly product, want for it to arrive, put it together, install an app, connect on Bluetooth, go hang it on the light, go back to your cab, let the app send your downtime information to a website, wait for the notification, get the device off the light, disconnect it from your Bluetooth, put it somewhere in your cab, and now you can go on your way.

[@dangeary2134]

I was at a W mrt DC in an ice storm, once. Half the crew was there. I get in, on time, and drop the trailer at the door. Took over eight hours to unload. So, when they called me up to get that “lumpers check” and kick me out, I told them that I’m still waiting for the approval number. They want you gone, no matter what you have on the clock, but they won’t let you leave without paying them. I waited the hour and a half for my clock to roll over, and then brought it in to them. Nice, big loophole you could park a truck in!

I work for a small trucking company, we took all our trucks and put a little wireless camera on the driver's side of the sleeper looking back with a monitor in the sleeper. That way you can get out of the seat and go back into the sleeper to fix some food or do your paperwork or whatever and you just keep one eye on that monitor.

Years back when I was working the dock a certain driver would come in and of course we locked his truck to the dock. So I unloaded him and he got the green light. He would come in and we had already moved the dock plate and he could shut his door. Then as he gets back to his truck I would rehook him back again while he is trying to pull away. Then he would come back in and by that time had unlocked him. After the while he was getting pissed and everybody starts to laugh and he did too. I had known him for years. We had other guys we did that to.

Yellow being done but paperwork not ready and green means paperwork is done also.

[@BruceWilliams-w2p]

Trick learned while RVing: Get a slap bracelet and slap it onto your steering wheel whenever you deploy the dock watch. Then, when you go to leave, it is a reminder that the dock watch is still attached to the light. You can also use other slap bracelets for other items you need to remember when parked.

[@curtis7599]

What if somebody steals it while attached to the light, though? Other than that, it is pretty cool. Usually, if less than two hours, I would just sit in the driver's seat with more trip planning and other things to get done. Phone calls, budgeting, trip planning, or whatever is something I would be doing. After two hours of doing that, I would get tired of sitting there in the driver's seat, so that is pretty cool.
