What just happened.

@mcgmouton57 That’s absolute genius. lol

@mcgmouton57 It is. '

Makes me wonder why I hadn't thought of that.....

I know right.

FaceTiming a trailer hitch? Great idea. Little slip could result in a crushed phone, though.

Cool, but I would have mounted the phone higher and tilted it down so it doesn't get crushed if the driver backs too far.

@drjamesbjoyce Good! I was waiting for the "Kee-Runch", but it never happened!

One hundred percent Right.

Sweet Mother of God! 🫪

WoW ok.

Or maybe learn how to backup and hook up 🤷‍♂️🙄

Dissapointed, I was expected the phone to be crushed by trailer connector.. 🙄

Who else thought he would crash the phone😂

@drjamesbjoyce A truck driver in profession, an engineer at heart. 🤌🏽

Spend a day securing it somehow!!!

Right.

Poor mans backup camera.

Need a backup camera for ya truck 🤣😂 @EdMapes1, @MarkOutlaw42069, @TruckerDanUSA

You go pops!

Yes forsure.

If you need that to hook up a trailer, you probably shouldn't be driving. Try using your mirrors and line the trailer up evenly and then come back slow until you just tap into it, then roll forward an 1 "- 2". Perfection. I could do it faster and better without a phone.

That is almost as good as the one yesterday where the person jumps out measures with fingers the distance to get right under the hitch, marks it on the ground right at the front edge of the running board and backs until the running board aligned the 2nd mark. I would have never thought to do that when I am backing up to a hitch by myself. Now I feel really stupid that I didn't think of something so simple after all these years.

I do that all the time with my RV travel trailer. Much clearer picture than the crappy camera up top.

How are you seeing it from the cab?

Fantastic question.

It’s gonna work great until he smashes the phone. Then he’ll wonder why he didn’t just install a camera.

genius

Damn dumbest thing I ever seen. They make cameras for this and they are lots cheaper than a phone.

High risk, high reward maneuver.

Wireless back camera

@ErikUnchained

I have five phones on my toter

That’s clever for sure , but we got technology that circumvents this need. You probably got it in your own car right now. Sure is clever though.

Great idea, FYI they make WiFi cameras specifically for that.

at least you did not crushed your phone...yet..

Well that escalated quickly.

Use your old phones as a nanny cam. There’s apps for to

that's very inventive

It absolutely is.
