    Hi there, I have a few inventions bouncing around in my head that I think would make our jobs easier. Does anybody here have any experience in submitting inventions to a company that specializes in trucking accessories? Im just not sure where to turn. Thanks guys!

    the first place to start is by getting a patent. Without that, people can look at it and copy it and you can do nothing about it. Protect your invention first and then start shopping it around.

    I wish someone would invent a more comfortable air ride seat, that has been my major gripe for years.

    In order to get a patent the inventor needs to create a working prototype.u cant get a patent on just an idea.

    The Recaro truck seat is the most comfortable seat I've ever sat in, they aren't cheap though.

    I can give you an idea for an invention. You can call it the "No P Seat". It would be spring loaded so it is always in the upright position. That way these sorry a_ _ so called truck drivers won't be pi_ _ ing on the seat and walking away leaving someone else to clean up their mess. There would be inconveniences associated with the "No P Seat" but at least when you got your fanny down on the seat it would be dry.

    I have a working prototype. Guess I need to get in touch with a patent lawyer & a money tree.
