The DUDAD device promises to revolutionize the way truckers handle loading and unloading; This handy device allows truckers to rest more comfortably during the loading or unloading process, helping them get more sleep before long drives.
MOORSEVILLE, N.C., Sept. 18, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — The DUDAD is a device that audibly rather than visually notifies truck drivers that they are finished being loaded or unloaded. This device enables drivers to sleep longer, saving them valuable time.

Invented by real truck driver Chris Barbeau – who knew there had to be a better way so drivers could stay alert and awake on the road, while getting the rest they need. When he couldn't find one, he invented DUDAD!
Now, DUDAD is seeking crowdsourced funding to make the device available to truckers everywhere.
As seen at www.dudad.net, truck drivers have often had to wait for a red light on a loading dock door to turn green, which means staying awake during the loading or unloading process. The DUDAD Driver's Wireless Audible Green Light Notification Device allows drivers to rest during this "down time" by attaching to an extension pole and leaning against the signal light while the load is being moved. When the light turns green, an audible signal will be sent to the receiver up to .5 miles away.
The DUDAD allows drivers to sleep or perform other tasks rather than waiting in the cab for the signal light. The receiver acts as a pager that will alert the driver.
By allowing truckers to get more rest or to eat and relax while loads are being moved, the DUDAD actually increases the safety level of all on the road. Driver fatigue can become a thing of the past as truckers are able to rest during non-driving hours.
The prototype DUDAD is now ready for marketing, and the company has launched a crowdsourcing on kickstarter.com at www.kickstarter.com/projects/205326412/dudad-drivers-sleep-and-time-management-device.
Contributors will be entered for a chance to win one of ten free prototypes, and all who enter will receive information on how to receive a DUDAD at below cost. Also, by contributing on Kickstarter contributors can receive a DUDAD at 33% below retail and 16% below wholesale, as they will retail for about 179.99.
