In most parts of North America, winter makes up a large part of the year, with conditions so cold that driving can be dangerous, especially if there is a possibility of ice on the road. Although truckers may not be concerned about such matters now, as the summer heat continues to grow in most of the United States, they know that soon winter with its hazardous road conditions will begin to roll in.
That’s why an indoor/outdoor ice alert thermometer in a cab is so important. While conveniently displaying the interior temperature, the ice alert thermometer also allows truckers to determine whether the cold outside has gotten to dangerous levels. And with the indoor/outdoor thermometer from Road Pro, an alarm and flashing green LED lights will warn truckers about break-ice conditions that could end up killing them if they were to drive over ice that has begun to melt.
Other than this life-saving feature, there are many other reasons why an ice alert thermometer of this type is convenient for truckers. As most drivers know, having an extreme difference in the interior and exterior temperature can cause conditions such as windshield fogging. By using the thermometer, truckers can determine whether a fogging problem may be a result of the exterior and interior temperatures. Knowing the exterior temperature can also help truckers better plan for outdoor actions that they need to take later in the day, such as whether or not it will be important to park in a shaded area due to extreme heat. Furthermore, the interior temperature display can help drivers adjust their thermostats to the desired temperature.
In addition to featuring an easy-to-read display that shows the interior and exterior temperature in both Fahrenheit and Celsius, the thermometer also gives a digital time display, allowing truckers to have a battery powered backup of their clocks should they suffer a power failure in their trucks. Powered with triple-A batteries, this thermometer is easy to install, power, and use, as well as easy to re-mount when batteries need to be changed.
So if you want to be safe, as well as have the convenience of an indoor thermometer, you can check out the indoor/outdoor thermometer from Road Pro, available for a limited amount of money—less than $20—but certainly worth the cost. It can save your life in the event of break-ice conditions; and can also let you know when exterior temperatures are dangerously cold or hot.
