Am I the only one who started using a cheap laser pointer to help my signal person from 200 feet up?
I was spotting a tricky load through a tight gap between two silos in Toledo last month, and my spotter kept losing my hand signals in the glare, so I taped a $15 laser pointer to my cab window to point exactly where I wanted the tagline placed, and it cut our setup time in half.

Wow, I always thought that was a gimmick! But hearing how it actually saved you real time on a tough job makes total sense. That's a clever fix for a real problem.

Yeah, until it becomes the problem itself.

That's the real catch with any tool, right? It solves one headache but can create a whole new one if you lean on it too hard. Like auto-correct fixing a typo but then changing a name to something totally wrong, so you have to go back and fix the fix. The solution starts needing its own babysitter.
