Abstract
A dump truck safety light device for a transfer dump truck system. The dump truck safety light device is coupled to a trailer reach or tongue. The dump truck safety light device is configured to be in a raised configuration or in a lowered configuration. The dump truck safety light device announces the presence of a trailer reach to another vehicle that is following slightly behind a dump truck in the next lane to the left. Without the dump truck safety light device, the trailer reach would be hidden to the driver of the other vehicle in a blind spot created by the passenger door of the other vehicle.
