The audible alert system for truck operators comprises a mirror unit and a cab unit. The mirror unit attaches to an external mirror of the truck where it has an unobstructed view of the system. The mirror unit comprises a camera, which captures images of the area behind the truck and a processor that analyzes the images looking for a change in the dock light system. Whenever the mirror unit detects that the dock light system has changes, it wirelessly transmits a notification to the cab unit. The cab unit receives the notification and activates a sound transducer and/or indictor light to alert the truck operator. The truck operator may silence the sound transducer and/or extinguish the indicator light by pressing a reset button on the cab unit.
