Professional Drivers Understand The Limitations of ALL Wiper Blade Technologies (see FAQ #10 photo section for explanation). As Such, They Can Also Better Appreciate The Safety of Having Wiper Blades That Sweep Cleanly Across The Windshield During A Winter Storm - The SHAKER Helps Maintain A Blades' Good Sweep Condition.

From A Time & Cost Perspective, Drivers Also Realize The Importance Of Having To Stop His/Her Rig In Order To Clean A Frozen Wiper Blade In Order To Improve Windshield Visibility - Using The SHAKER On A Regular Basis When Such Problems Occur, Save The Driver From Having To Continually and Manually Do This.

Obviously If A Driver Has To Stop His or Her Rig On A Busy Highway, This Represents Both A Safety & Cost Issue - Using The SHAKER Saves You Time & Money By Not Having To Stop As Often.

"In regards to your wipershaker, I am very satisfied with the performance of
the shaker, because as a professional driver, I am always thinking of the
safety of others and myself. In stormy weather, I do not have to pull over,
when I can't safely do so; the wipershaker keeps me on the road with better
sustained vision, without intervention on my part to clean my windshield
and/or wiper ice build up. I can do it safely from inside my cab, as I'm
driving.

It was beneficial to me during my last trip to Montreal, in inclement
weather.

"I have been driving for Lavigne Truck Lines for six years, and I thought I should pass on these comments. I drove Ottawa to Brockville to Montreal and back to Ottawa in my International 9200 during a freezing rain storm last week. I found the Shaker worked extremely well at keeping the blade clean during this extreme weather, since the wiper blade was able to stay completely in touch with the windshield. By using the Shaker there was no build up of ice on the blade. Freezing blades do not keep the window clean, and with the Shaker I always had clear vision. My day was made better by having the Shaker on my truck. When you do not have to stop to clean the blades, the trip is faster and more profitable. I would have had to stop four or five times on this trip, but with the Shaker, I did not have to stop at all. I would strongly recommend this to any driver, whether on a tractor or a personal vehicle. I thank you for introducing the Shaker to me as a professional driver, and I believe that every driver is better off with this product."

"As for the performance of the Shaker, it's working great. I've actually only had one real bad storm so far this fall/winter, but it was immediately after I installed the units. It was exactly the kind of storm I wanted the Shaker for. It was slightly below freezing so the snow was fairly sticky. There was also a strong crosswind that made it stick to the truck, wipers, etc. The Shaker did a good job of keeping the build up to a minimum. I'm very happy with the units and don't regret my purchase one bit.

"We have found the Wiper Shaker a good fit with our salt plow trucks. The operators find it very helpful to clear the snow and slush off the windshield without having to stop and get out and crawling over the hood to clear the wipers by hand .

Not only are they are a great safety feature, but also a cost saving tool. We no longer need to use custom made steps ($230 each) to enable drivers to climb up on the slippery tires while on the shoulder of busy
roads to "flick" frozen wiper blades . By staying inside the cab this decreases the chance of an incident occurring, i.e., other vehicles hitting our parked trucks or the operators, in poor visibility . It also increases response time to snow and ice control by not having to stop. As a result of this past winters' results, a request has been made to our department heads to outfit our fleet with Shaker's (for driver and passenger side wipers). "

Thanks and take care, Tom"

"We installed both Shaker's on plow dump trucks. They seem to be working great. We were happy with the way they installed and fit."

"They are great! Snowfall now up to 172.2 inches.

Normally in a plow round an operator might have to stop a half dozen times to
bang the snow off of the wiper blade--even when using ANCO winter blades.

With the Wiper Shaker all that is required is a regular "buzz" and they're cleared of
snow/ice buildup.

I've already recommended them to some of my colleagues. I will continue to do so.

Your company should be sending representatives to the state municipal
associations' conventions/trade shows to demo the product. Seeing them operate
is worth a thousand words. As soon as you see the wipers jump up and down on
the windshield, you realize the effect and value.

I'll get back to you later this spring to buy more for us for the rest of our vehicles.
