Example vehicle alignment systems for use at loading docks are disclosed herein. An example vehicle alignment system includes a first arm extending a first distance from a wall of the loading dock, where the first arm is positioned adjacent a first lateral edge of a doorway of the loading dock. A first sensor is coupled to the first arm, where the first sensor is directed substantially perpendicular relative to a longitudinal axis of the first arm. The first sensor is to detect a first lateral distance between the first sensor and a first side surface of the vehicle. The first sensor to provide a first feedback signal representative of the first lateral distance. A second arm extends a second distance from the wall of the loading dock, where the second arm is positioned adjacent a second lateral edge of the doorway of the loading dock opposite the first lateral edge. A second sensor is coupled to the second arm, where the second sensor is directed substantially perpendicular relative to a longitudinal axis of the second arm. The second sensor is oriented toward the first sensor, the second sensor to detect a second lateral distance between the second sensor and a second side surface of the vehicle opposite the first side surface. The second sensor is to provide a first feedback signal representative of the second lateral distance.
