    Put it in classified section
    & you're gonna need to advertise your product way more than here on a forum: maybe landline magazine, other industry periodicals

    I assume he's not pushing the product for snow removal from trailer roofs which is a whole other apparatus and discussion.

    For snow removal from modern tractors hoods, windshields, visors, and mirrors... a longer, sturdier and perhaps angled head, [and designed so that it won't break off the washer nozzle heads mounted on wiper arms] might make it more marketable to truckers.

    A properly constructed and designd 72 inch handle is probably long enough for all but the shortest drivers. They may need another 12-15 inches.

    I'd be interested, we often have to use our broom off the back of the truck, but it's sometimes frozen solid or full of crud that will otherwise streak the windshield or not do a good job.

    In our area we found a low bridge 13.5 or 13.6 and that usually scraped off the snow.

    It is very rare we ever got buried in snow except maybe twice for a loss of a few days post blizzard. A friend of mine used a shovel to get his rig out that had approx 20 to 30 drifted feet in his spot over time.

    And finally it's not often we allowed the cab or engine to get cold during a storm. Engine would be running most 24/7

    What Im saying is that we would not be worried about purchasing a tool. In our part of Arkansas the sun takes care of it in half a day to a day if there is any snow to be moved. In my state, it's common to wait a while.

    I have something similar from a company called sno-broom or some such thing. I'd be interested in trying your product and seeing how it compares and if it's good buying a couple and recommending them. I own a small fleet. The thing I have is something a friend at a dealership recommended so I'd suggest trying to hock them to dealerships, they have a LOT of cars to clean off every snow storm.
