A very important part of a drivers equipment, Is the Trucker Clock. Because the most important part of being a driver after safety is "Being on Time"! There is nothing that will get you in trouble faster, Than being late and considering the long hours of driving. And everything else that helps make a driver dog-tired. It is essential for a driver to have a good working clock that can wake the dead!.
Once we pulled into a delivery stop early one morning before the store opened and parked right in front of the entrance gate, And decided to take a short nap until they opened the gate so we could unload. When we finally did wake up, They told us that they had tried rocking the truck and beating on the side of the sleeper, And they even got another truck to park right beside us and blow their Air horn. So after that we went and bought the biggest and loudest wind up trucker clock we could find, Because that was not the only time we had something like this happen. Even taking a 30 minute nap might turn into a 3 or 4 hour mistake that you would be forced to deal with, Because you simply slept too hard and couldn't wake up on time.
If you're one of those people who can wake up at the sound of a pin dropping, And you can still manage to get plenty of good sleep then consider yourself lucky. But unfortunately we all aren't that blessed. We know we're always worried that we would sleep right through someone breaking into our cab and robbing us or worse.
So if you're looking for a clock, We guess that's why they have such a wide variety to choose from. Because almost every individual has their own needs to consider, So hopefully we have something that would fit your personal needs, So you don't ever have some of the personal waking up issues that we have had.
