Steps

  1. Pair exterior lights (visible to the driver) with interior lights (visible to dock crew) so both sides receive a consistent status signal.
  2. Follow the common convention of green exterior/red interior meaning the truck may approach while it is not yet safe to enter, switching to red exterior/green interior once the trailer is positioned and secured.
  3. Interlock the light system with the vehicle restraint or dock leveler control box where possible so status changes automatically rather than relying solely on manual switching.
  4. Train both dock staff and drivers on what each light state means before relying on the system operationally.
  5. Verify the interior light is visible from within the trailer during loading, not just at the dock face.
