    I'm interested in developing new technology tools to help truckers like you. What kinds of things would help you or make your life better? An example: a mobile phone app that lets you check in and see your truck friends and if they're at your current stop for the night.

    Anything is fair game. I'm looking for real ideas please.

    Thanks for your time!

    Make a backup camera for trailers. Like 4 wheelers have. Talk fleet owners & safety people into it. Do that and you will be a rich man.

    I always wonder why they haven't applied Transition Lens technology to windshields. That would be cool.

    Guess that was not what you wanted to hear huh? I understand your agenda, but to get real here in the [real world], the Ideas your looking for would cost you $$. I have some wonderful Ideas but I will be keeping them in my head for now. If you would like to develope them, and share the wealth, we maybe can work it out. Levi39:biggrin_25525:

    Leaving good ideas in your head for too long will come back to get you Levi. I came up with shoes that have a scrubby sponge on the bottom for cleaning the floor. Stolen, by some lady that calls them Shammy Shoes. Dammitt. I came up with the idea of single servings of Spam. Stolen, by the makers of Spam no less. Dammitt. The self lowering toilet seat, the Whistler (same concept as the clapper, but for people without hands), Peel and stick make-up, the list goes on and on. Act now Levi, before you see Anthony Sullivan hawking some rendition of an idea that you came up with years ago.

    How much do little lenses like that cost? $$$
    Now imagine how much a windshield would cost? $$$$ Then loose it to a rock chip or crack. Don't think that idea would last long. Mirror idea sounds more reasonable. Not hating on the idea just thinking it be to expensive and not everyone would be into it which means no profit which means no production. I'd purchase it for myself if it came into production, dunno how many others would.
     
    zebcohobo Thanks this.
