PITTSBURGH...The U.S. Census Bureau estimated that the for-hire truck transportation market includes 509,000 proprietors, partnerships, and non-employer corporations. As for commercial-truck enthusiasts, the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association has 126,000 members, and the Mid-West Truckers Association has 2,616 members. These drivers must travel into unknown territory and contend with various zone prohibitions and limited clearances that may impede their route.
"In my truck-driving experience, I've encountered many low overpasses that have forced me to back up and go another way," said the inventor, from Bohemia, N.Y. "Such clearances aren't available on regular maps, so I conceived of my design to provide such information."
NAVIGATION FOR THE PROFESSIONAL enables a truck driver to navigate more easily by providing comprehensive information about roads and routes. This patent-pending design promotes efficiency and avoids wasted time due to poor routing. Though the versatile, easy-to-use guide can be used by non-commercial drivers as well, it is ideal for commercial drivers. In addition, it can help to reduce the incidence of accidents, according to the inventor.
The original design was submitted to the Long Island office of InventHelp. It is currently available for licensing or sale to manufacturers or marketers.
